Hey guy simply question which do you all prefer, looking to add either a super 44 or slp loudmouth1 muffler in place of my stock one keeping the resonator don't want anything super loud and drone but l like the loudmouth tone on my camaro flowmaster has always been a hit and miss with me I love them on start up but upper rpm deceleration not so much I can't find anything on a loudmouth on YouTube either. Thanks everyone and I apologize if it's been ask before still new to the forums here.

I have a 3 inch Super 44 that exits in front of the rear tire and I love it. Just aggressive enough but not annoying. Cold starts are great.

I had a Super 44 single in/dual out to the tips behind the rear tire at 45° on my '14 and it was the best sounding truck I've ever had. Cold starts were awesome and still allowed you to listen to music. With the windows down I don't think I ever put the radio above 1/2 and with the windows up I had it roughly at 1/3.

Not sure how set you are on those two brands but I really liked how the Spintech 6000, and Black Widow Venom 250 sounds on these trucks as well. Keep in mind I did the resonator delete. With the resonator I think both of these brands would sound good as well. The Spintech is aluminized but the Venom is stainless steel. Other options with the Black Widow brand would be the Widowmaker(similar to the SLP) and I see a lot of guys running the Race Venom as well.

  • I had two SLP Loudmouth bullet style mufflers on my 06 GTO, it was well. LOUD. Real nasty snarl scream when you stomped on it. Very different from that traditional flowmaster sound

now on a truck.....I think the SLP Loudmouth wouldn't be the right sound. IMO

I had the full Slp exhaust on my 2015 5.3L and loved the sound! Great idle, deep, not super raspy. Not too much drone (though there was some). Honestly I would I kept that system for my new truck (6.2l) if they didn't cheap out and keep both kits 3" for a cat back.

 

Have you considered a mbrp system? Play the cards right (20% off auto anything) and you could be in it for about 430 shipped. I have yet to install mine, but after figuring 140 for a magnaflow, 60 to cut and weld, and possibly 60 more if it wasn't deep enough and I wanted the resonator cut off (for a total of almost 300), I could get a full system for close that.

 

Now if this is too loud (baby coming) I can go back and cut the stock exhaust.

Thanks everyone for the replies it's really a hard decision lol I like that black widow too, like I said I have slp on my Camaro and like it but it's loud, might be the long tube headers though. Iike the flowmaster 44 when it starts up just don't know how if I will like the sound on deceleration I have no experience with with exhaust on these trucks my previous truck (Nissan Titan) had a flowmaster 40 then true dual borla xr1s dumped and it droned horribly and still DOHC motor sounded blah, but that was my teenage years lol. Keep the opinions and videos coming guys.

The Super 44 on my '14 5.3 sounded really good at deceleration. It sounded good at any RPM. Basically as long as the truck was running it sounded awesome.

 

I personally wouldn't buy an actual kit, just cost too much. I had a shop good with exhaust and truck accessories build it the way I wanted. Cost less than half the price of a pre-made kit and I got exactly what I wanted. I'm really picky so I wouldn't want to just settle for a kit if it's not exactly what I wanted.

That's kinda what I'm thinking is just a muffler instead of a kit just because of the cost not saying it isn't worth it to those who have one just I believe I can get what I'm looking for from a simple muffler swap, I like to know when my truck is running lol

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads
