best sounding flowmaster ever made


if that truck has 2 converters on it then dual it out with 2 of them

i always ran turn downs at axle


you can always add tailpipes later and spend more money if he thinks it's too loud




This - turn downs were awesome

Flowmaster? Why not Spintech?

Did you watch the video? They cost you HP. If all you want is the sound then they are fine. If you are chasing HP they are not....

Yeah, he doesnt care about the HP. Just looking for his truck to sound good.

Thats fine then.


Spintechs are one of the more expensive options too.


For me, I'd do a dual exhaust with a pair of Vibrant Ultra Quiets on it. (They aren't that quiet).








Ultra Quiets on a 5.3


sounds good

Description of vid says shorty headers and no cats so pretty far off from what you'd be doing. It's also clapping like a mf so the exact opposite of sounding good, it's just loud.

"sounds good" is subjective. What you like isn't what everybody likes.

Cats won't change the sound that much, but the headers do. It should clap less with Cats tho...

I'm tickled pink that this is your response because your take is not also subjectively wrong, but also objectively wrong. I'm seeing a single Ultra-Quiet is $140 where a Spintech 6000 is $113 for a single outlet or $123 for a dual outlet. Cats vs no cats also makes a massive difference in sound, they will have more of an impact than shorty headers.

I'm a bit curious, what's your experience with building LS engines and GMT800s?

excuse me if this is a dumb question, but wont deleting cats throw an engine code?

Yes, it would throw a code without cats. There are ways to get rid of the light, but I wouldn't delete the cats in your instance unless they started causing problems.
