'97 Z71 1500 Exhaust
I have a '97 z71 (135k). The exhaust sounds horrible, especially when its not warmed up, I don't know if this is from the tips because they are rusted through bad as hell or the muffler being clogged, is a new muffler a good option? I want something that sounds good but is affordable. When they do a muffler swap, do they just cut out the old and weld a new one in? Also, any cheap (free) upgrades/power mods?
Thanks

do you have stock exhaust? not having tips does make its sound pretty crappy, but its hard to tell without hearing it whether its the muffler or the tips making it sound bad.
as far as cheap performance, look up the ultimate free hp mod list thread in this forum. lots of good stuff in there. also look into a throttle body spacer.

It's stock exhaust, two pipes from the engine into the muffler, 2 coming out. The tips look like they have been hit with some buckshot a couple of times, about a 3" x .5" gash on the one tip

Well im sure you could get into a flowmaster with a new tip for under 200. I had one put a my old jeep a few years ago. All the guy did was put the muffler in on the stock pipe and replaced the tip with a stainless one and if i remember right it was just under 200. I also had him install a few other parts non exhaust related so there was a little money figured in for that stuff.
And yes the muffler usually is welded on but there are also exhaust clips that could be used to hold it in place. All the mufflers that i have had done have been welded on.
