hello, i am new to this forum. i have a 94 c/k 1500 5.7 TBI , i was wondering which exhaust, is best for sound/performance? My friend tells me a flowmaster super 40 is good? would he be correct or what are some better choices? also which pipe size should i use? i am running everything stock so far, should i turn it down as well? what decent y-pipes do they make for my truck? thanks for any input, it is greatly appriecated.

Flowmaster is nice, although we have been installing the Gibson

Stainless systems with great results. Lose the 3" tailpipe

idea otherwise you will lose significant torque.

 

Have a great one!

i had a 93 z71 with the 350-- i put glasspacks on it when the flowmaster wore out -- stock pipes lasted 40k miles, the flowmaster lasted 80k miles, then the glasspacks until i sold it... man i miss that noise :D I didn't want another flowmaster because everyone else had a flowmaster on their trucks-- and i liked the glasspack rumble better. The flowmaster gives you hollowed out sound, the glasspacks a deep rumble. You get use to the noise -- and its really not bad on the highway.

I really like the edelbrock cat back for that truck. Good quality in 3 different tip exit styles. The flow on the muffler is alot better than flowmaster or gibson and the exhaust is deep, but has no drone in it. I will probably be putting one on my 5.3 before too long. I also felt a difference when installing their cat back system on my '90 5.7 tbi. Summit has the complete kit and its around the 300 dollar range I believe

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
