Dynomax Bullets, they are between a glasspack and straight pipes on loudness, but are deep and throaty like a Flowmaster.

x2 for Flowmaster.

 

I love the sound from mine. Even though mine is not loud, there are other Flowmaster that definitely are.

 

Just realized this is a really old post. Oh well, still has meaning.

x3 for Flowmaster. Super 44s to be exact. See my sig for video.

 

If you have the 5.3L though they dont sound too bad with no mufflers, but really really loud.

Had flowmaster on my old V6 Dodge and made it sound like a V8, but after hearing the stock sound of my 08 SD Im just going to leave the muffler alone, maybe replace the tail pipe on how it exits at the rear give it a dual exhaust look, but the sound is beautiful.

 

Gibson exhaust systems sound pretty nice as well as dynomax. Your best bet is to find some people with different ones on their trucks and just listen. Glass Packs sound like crap IMHO, and Cherry Bombs to. Straight Pipe i could go either way.

I like the tone of glasspacks, but every time I hear one, it seems as if it is at the end of it's life span. So I guess this is a question. Do they deteriorate faster than "normal" mufflers?

I have true dual straight pipes on my 5.3, I dont really think its too loud unless you just really have your foot in it, i think it soulds nicer than some trucks with expensive mufflers on the, but thats jmo.

Yes, glasspacks are "packed" with fiber "glass" that eventually blows out. IIRC, the fibers in Bullets are wound around the perforated pipe, so they don't blow out as easily.

I have had the Flowmaster Big Block Series (is that a 70?) on 3 Chevys now...not too loud, sounds great!

 

There are two big block series of mufflers, a 50 and a 70. The 50BB is bigger to help quiet interior resonance in large cabins. (according to Flowmaster) The 70 is smaller but still big so that it can move a lot of volume.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      By ryan35205 · Posted

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
