What to do with my exhaust

[Klassix]

So I have a 96 tahoe with a vortec 350 which sounds like a complete ***** and I am stumped what would be the best thing to do with the exhaust to make it sound better. Right now it forms a Y and comes out with one tail pipe. I was pondering about ditching my cat, getting a set of 3" 50 series and making it into a full dual set up. Then I was thinking about adding headers but... Do I really NEED headers? ha ha .. What have you done? What sounds good? Got video/audio clips?

heres mine, i got pacesetter headers, with the regular y pipe like yours, cause mines a 96 two door, and i think its a 50 series that i have also in a cat back,

here what she sounds like

[Black96]

it also has a k&N cold air intake so thats the high wishel that u will hear also

That sounds really wicked. Did the headers fit on pretty easy? Did you have to mod your stock exhaust pipe much?

 

[Black96]

nah no mods, just the cat back and the headers fit right in, there actully summit headers but the tag on them say there pacesetters, i love the sound of my truck just never got a clip of it till now

 

[Klassix]

I am mainly looking for sound. Performance isn't really a big thing aince I wont be racing the truck so do you think it would be worth it to get a catback?

 

[Black96]

yeah cat back would be a great way to go

OK, thanks man. I am going to hit up an exhaust shop today and I atleast have some idea of what I want ha ha.

 

[fco_gonzo]

Headers will improve the exhaust sound too.

Yeah, going with a flowmaster is the easiest way to make your truck sound insta-cool.
stay clear of the gibson, they arent as loud... but they are ok. I had one one and replaced it with 40 series flomwaster.
if yOU HAVE EXTRA CA$H, LOOK AT THE BORLA AND CORSA.
oops, not yelling... caps lock is breaking down... lol


ANd Black, is that a new avatar? what is that a backhoe?

 

[Black96]

nah i uploaded it, its athe new johndeere D-series excavators, its a 350D, i work for a johndeere dealership back at home, i love them there so fun to drive around in, and there freakin big, but the 450D is alot larger the tracks are as tall as me, 5'10ish

 

[Black96]

or if u want really really loud noise just take of the y-pipe and drive around like that for a day!

 

[treepete]

holy crap. that sounds great. I wish I could have a job that involved monster machinery. cool stuff.
