Title: Exhaust questions??
Post by: BRAD on October 17, 2008, 11:20:06 AM: Alright guys I have been thinking about changing the exhauts on my truck. Right now I have a Flowmaster Super 44. I have just got tired of that deep flowmaster rumble. I like the way the new Corvettes sound and was wandering if any of you guys knew of a way to get my truck sounding remotely close to it. I just dont want the truck sound anymore, I want a high performance car sound. I guess is how I should say it

Oh and i have a 1999 Silverado with a 5.3l and im willing to lose the catalytic converters to.

I know I know peels the grammar probably sucks :lol:

Maybe you need smaller diameter pipes? Will bring tone up higher?

well i run it with a 2.5" pipe for awhile and didnt like it. it still had the flowmaster sound. now im letting it dump straight out of the muffler

Reminds me of the SLP Exhaust made for the charger and 300c.

Post by: BRAD on October 17, 2008, 12:34:38 PM: thats what i was thinkin they sound wicked. now if i can only find it for a reasonable price.

Post by: BRAD on October 17, 2008, 12:41:28 PM: heres the bad news i just found out the Corsa Sport exhaust for my truck is $785 and some change. plus they dont make it to where you can just order the muffler and do your own piping. atleast not that i seen :(

Post by: Krandall on October 17, 2008, 12:48:11 PM: damn... well.. if you think about it this way.. That's a set of LTE's or Barkers. :lol:
Title: Re: Exhaust questions??
Post by: BRAD on October 17, 2008, 12:49:37 PM: yeah thats one way to look at it. although i just found a set of there mufflers called Corsa Db Black

I've got the Corsa sport on my pickup (and GTO). In my opinion, Corsa has the best sound, but you're right...it ain't cheap.

Search around Ebay and you might be able to find a good deal.

I have an exhaust clip of my GTO on YouTube, but not of the Denali. I should put one up.

+1 on Corsa sound. I had a full Borla system on my 5.0, really liked it as well :thumbs:

Post by: Flynbyu on November 07, 2008, 02:37:21 PM: Corsa is very similar to the Corvette with the dual mode option, but it's a bit louder.

For the money, I'd check into Borla too.

Damn :jaw: If my truck sounded like that I'd prolly never get out of it :grin_nod:

Post by: Warren on November 09, 2008, 11:08:27 AM: i can't believe you want to get something other than a flowmaster. i love my 40 series on my truck. it has a 3" pipe all the way from the catty to the tail. :clap:

but to each his own i guess. good luck finding what you want. :thumbs:

Post by: Colorado700R on November 12, 2008, 07:57:40 PM: not sure thats a "stock" motor in that.

Here's an example of the borla catback vs. Borla full plus cam

Post by: NaturalRaptor on December 02, 2008, 02:43:54 PM: I have always run the flomaster because that is what we installed and I got tham at cost. But when I got my IROC it had Borla and I loved to hear that car. There are some cheaper mufflers called turbo terminators that are bad ass too. Good luck! :thumbs:

Post by: BRAD on December 03, 2008, 08:17:27 PM: well i decided to just keep the flowmaster for now. and just have some straight pipes welded in place of the catalytic converters for now
