Help me pick exhaust for cheap

[Avery Dameron]

I picked up a 2019 silverado and it is painfully quiet. I want something cheap that a muffler shop can do but still is decently loud. Was thinking muffler delete but not sure, need some advice. Also does taking off the flapper void any kind of warranty?

Flowmaster series 70 muffler.

Cheap?  Toss a Flowmaster on it but understand you will get drone at highway speeds as AFM/DFM kicks in.

Cheap?  Why skimp out on making your truck sound great. Save up for a Catback and the problem is solved. I never quite understand why people go cheap on things when the truck is $30k, $40k all the way up to $70k. It doesn’t make sense to me. I saved up and did it right and bought entire Corsa Catback system for around $1200. One million mile warranty and never have to worry about it rusting out from “cheap” welding at a muffler shop. To each their own I guess

 

Throw glass-packs on it from Amazon. $25 if u want cheap.

Not if you leave your resonators on.

Where are you located? I have a flowmaster Cat Back for sale.

Muffler delete 90 bucks for the pipe online, you can do it in your driveaway or your muffler shop can probably do it cheaper.

Lonestar Hawaiian on youtube has a clip of it and install video.

Friend has the 6.2, both flappers and resonators still on and it drones

Cheap???

 

Are you choosing to sacrifice reliability or performance?

 

Sacrifice reliability and it'll cost you more in the end.  Sacrifice performance and your exhaust will sound like the trash it actually is.

 

Reliability and performance are not synonymous with the word "cheap".

I’ve been lucky. Iv used the same exhaust, repair shop for 40 years. Every truck has been there with the exception of my last one. The last one was my 14. I started with delete and added a performance muffler later. I tuned out the cylinder deactivation. So it just had the usual rumble. The sound is a personal experience. As far as expensive mail order. I can’t see the expense. The delete was 40$. The muffler was under 200$. On my trucks prior to my 14 had the split exhaust after the muffler. Usually a few hundred. Maybe I just got lucky and found a good exhaust guy. I can’t imagine spending that kind of money for mail order exhaust when a muffler will do the trick. Of course some people want that sticker in the window. Or badge on their vehicle. My exhaust person even had tips and megaphones if that was desired.
