Maybe Im lucky and found a good bender over 30 years ago, I cant see why a person would not just get the muffler changed at a muffler shop? There is nothing wrong with the factory pipes, just change the muffler. They are under 200 installed.

Some people want dual exhaust. I see your point if they are planning in coming out only one side.

Is this a fact??? Seriously are the pipes going to the muffler the same as the ones being offered in the system? If so then I'm just buying the muffler

Most of my exhaust have been duals, my bender leaves one side adds muffler and runs the dual side. In the last few years with the exhaust already big enough on a stock engine you can y after the cats run a dual in and out muffler or two mufflers with two tail pipes. Still lots cheaper than a complete mail order exhaust.

The point is they are not leaving HP or gas mileage on the table anymore by exhaust flow. That's way there are so many cats and muffler and resonator. Your just gaining sound.

I did muffler delete for a while, didn't sound bad. I wanted quieter so I added back a muffler to just a bit over stock. The muffler delete cost me 40$, its a good place to start. most younger people thought that was still too quiet, you could always remove the resonator too. If that doesn't do it for you then put your magaflow on or flowmaster. Edited by KARNUT

I don't care for premade systems. I just go to a local shop in town that's great with exhaust. That way it's cheaper and they can do exactly what you want. I just had them take everything from the muffler back and put in a single in/dual out Super 44 and it sounds awesome.

A shop that can do exhaust will be able to do whatever you want. I had a shop take everything from the muffler back out and had a single in/dual out Super 44. I also have the tailpipes coming out one on each side behind each tire at 45°. So to do that you don't need a premade system. The parts and install was cheaper than just a premade system by itself.

Was it stainless steel pipe?

Not really sure, but I have black chrome tips and the muffler is also black. They only charged a little over $300 for everything and all joints are welded instead of just clamps.

Dual exhaust = 1980's

I said something like that in a post a few months ago and got SLAMMED by someone asking me if my Corvette had duals! :lol: Always something... :D Everyone has a right to their opinion. :thumbs:

For me dual exhaust and how I want it setup is from my OCD lol. Having just the one tailpipe was killing my OCD. I got to have 2 tailpipes and one on each side no matter if it's straight back or what. My old 98 actually came with true duals from the front to the back with just 1 muffler dual in/dual out.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
