Exhaust Recommendation
Hey guys Newbie here... Before I ask the Q, yes I did a search. It just gets too many hits to be useful...
Anyway, I have an '02 with the 5.3L and want to upgrade the exhaust to something that sounds aggressive, is a little louder than stock and thats it...
Any suggestions out there?
Sean

RE: Exhaust Recommendation
I'd go with a flowmaster dual cat-backsystem. What ever you do stay away from Summit Racing brand exhaust. They are the cheapest and it shows in crappy sound and quality. I made that mistake

RE: Exhaust Recommendation
Im running flowmaster exhaust with 40 series muffler. Its got a good sound to it, not to loud, but you can hear it. Flowmaster also makes one louder, the super 44 which is pretty damn loud. But if your looking for something thats got a good sound to it but isnt that loud, id recommend the 40 series.

RE: Exhaust Recommendation
I've got mine running out the side in front of the back right tire and I assure you it doesn't sound like your buddies.
Don't know why but it is quite a bit louder than most of the Silverados with Flowmasters around here. I still need to get headers though... uncork it a bit.
