Exhaust

[Kc4O]

I bought my first truck not too long ago. I’m looking to do a cat back exhaust but not trying to go too loud. Any suggestions? Thanks

Depends how much you wanna hear it. At first i cut the resonator and mufflers off and added a y pipe to 4” tips but broke down and got true duals from cats back. Dont regret it at all, loud when i want it and quiet when it needs to be.

If your only after a little sound I personally wouldn’t bother with a whole system. If your planning on more Performance mods later then it might be worth it. On my 015 I had a local well established trusted exhaust shop cut the muffler/flapper/resonator off (mine is 5.3L/V4 delete tuned) and replaced with a 50 series Flowmaster then they used factory pipe over the axle to build a dump behind the axle (per my request). I told the shop what I wanted sound wise they put the truck on the lift and had me come out and listen to 4 different mufflers to choose the sound I wanted. Also said they retain as much of the factory pipe as possible because it will last as long if not longer than their replacement pipe anyway. I went with the 50 because it sounds good under a load but is relatively quiet while cruising as I to didn’t want anything to loud, there was a Magnaflow in the test mufflers (forget what model) that was about the same sound level but I didn’t care for the tone of it (personal preference). I’ve ran this set up for over a year now and I still happy with it, no drone at any speed, can hear it when I want, quiet when I don’t, and was less than $350 all in. 

 

There is some good exhaust threads on here with lots of ideas. Read some Google search works better for this site than the search feature on this forum. IMO

Some guys are happy with just a muffler delete/leave the resonator and vica versa. Cheap and if not happy your not out a lot to change to something else.

 

Youtube is your friend some guys post videos inside the cab let’s face it that’s where we’re listening. I’d suggest finding similar exhaust setups from different posters as some sound different with different mics/creative editing.

Look up a guy named Matt Earle he has posted  a hundred different exhaust setups on his 015 Silverado most of his vids include cold starts to drive bys. Nice to hear different options on the same truck. Also Kirk Robinson which is Kinneys Exhaust out of Texas has a lot of good vids/options especially if your at all interested in true duals.

I'm with wforrest 08, if you just want a nice sound, but not stupid loud, have a shop weld in a replacement performance muffler and keep all the factory pipe. I like flowmaster as well. I've done that on 2 past vehicles and now that my truck is past the 36 month warranty, I'll be looking to do the same on this one. I was in HS when Fast and Furious came out,  I don't like the look of a big shiny tip, its like those fart can's they put on ricers. That's why I keep the factory pipe out the back.

 

But if you are after looks of the tip and whatnot, then you need to just choose what you like the best.
