05 Silverado 6.0L V8 true dual Super 44 Flowmasters inside

[johndeerefan77]

do you remember how much this set up cost? it sounds really great.

[bunnyharris]

nice sound. what happen to the F150?

[DarrenWS6]

@bunnyharris I own the 2004 F150 currently, I owned this Silverado before the F150, traded the Silverado in '08 for the F150. Much happier.

[ShaneHoule09]

@DarrenWS6 why would u trade a silverado for a f150? :o

[ShaneHoule09]

@DarrenWS6 sounded great btw..

[mikesimon31]

i got a 6.0 too and my exhaust aint that loud and theres still a loud hum inside lol ohwell

[DarrenWS6]

@mikesimon31 Cause you dont have hi-flow catalytic converters like this did.

[mikesimon31]

@DarrenWS6 yeha i know that mine are stock, but i think im just gonna rip out the guts on mine, dont know thou if it will make a difference in back pressure

[DarrenWS6]

@mikesimon31 Gutting the catas will worsen performance because your interupting the pipe size from 2.75" to the full interior of the cat and back out to the 2.75". This interupts the velocity and static pressure which will hurt your low end torque, and really wont sound good at all. Go with hi-flow cats to gain the loud volume, and stay legal and healthy and high performing.

[mikesimon31]

@DarrenWS6 ooh shit, thanks for the info now im really gonna get some hi flow cats! i knew i was gonna be losing something but i just didnt know what but thanks alot dude !

[farmall51]

I had strait pipes on my 2500hd 6.0 but I was getting a headach from pulling 26ft gooseneck trailer. it would raddle your brain inside when it had to gear down up a hill. I miss the pipes . I put glass packs on each side. not as bad in the cab but sure miss the sound (when I wasnt pullin a trailer)

[jordanjcm]

I thought the part where he took a left turn to be very enjoyable. I guess this is to show people what it feels like to drive?

[DarrenWS6]

@jordanjcm not really, just to capture the annoying hum inside of the exhaust.

[jordanjcm]

@DarrenWS6 I am going to look at a 6.0 Silverado tomorrow. I hope it is not that loud inside. I guess some people like it but I would get sick of it. I will probably still buy it though. Cuz I love em. It is an 07 with only 24000 kms on it. I am Canadian so that is about 18000 miles i think. How are they on gas?

[DarrenWS6]

@jordanjcm awful on fuel. Gonna get a 3/4 ton get the diesel. Id say get a Ford over the Chevy. Im glad I did. Dont miss this truck at all.

[Mr1995Chevy]

Hey man, that sounds really nice. A deep toned growl is defanitly the way to go. I reacintly bought a 2006 GMC 2500HD with the 6.0L, and was wondering how much all of the parts and laubour cost. Cuz i would like to do that to mine. Anyways nice truck and keep it on all 4's.

[DarrenWS6]

@Mr1995Chevy was about $340 installed, cats were already done. Traded it in spring 2008.

[surf403]

FUCK, I FELL ASLEEP ABOUT A 1/4 OF THE WAY INTO THIS LAME VIDEO!!!

[DarrenWS6]

@surf403 suck my fucking dick, faggot. dont wanna watch, then close out of it douche bag.

[yaringtonm]

Put a sliding window in the back it will sound great. Thats what i did for my 95 chevy

[DarrenWS6]

@yaringtonm Traded it for an F150 years ago, it has a slider in it and I never use it.

[bikegeekmtdx]

You must have managed to get a lemon... our 05 2500HD with 110k miles hasn't given us any problems. I have seen a fair share of problems from fords... from issues with the power windows not working to exhaust leaks and other misc problems. Every once in a while I'll see a few chevy problems. You must have better luck with fords, my family has better luck with chevys. We have an 89 k1500 chevy pickup that has been passed around the family... now close to rolling 450k miles.

[DarrenWS6]

@bikegeekmtdx probably, every truck has its problems. I like either trucks they're nice.

[ssully1618]

that sounds absolutely terrible buddy. you might as well cut your whole exhaust off.

[DarrenWS6]

@ssully1618 Thanks. I hated it inside too, made me wanna shoot myself after awhile.

[mxboy96]

You really take pride in ur truck huh? lol, what, 16 vids now? That is the best sounding setup for a silverado though. period. Mines just 2.5 with 40's all the way back with 3.5 tips...Main street at midnight between all the buildings...it's outragous!!! Gotta love it;)

[DarrenWS6]

@mxboy96 Na I hate this truck. Gave me all kinds of problems, and nearly wrecked me into a ditch when the power steering pump blew and took the brakes out with it. I bought another Ford, much much happier. I like videoing, its a hobby. And I wanted to start a trend on the Super 44s for the HDs, seems to have worked lol.

[EMT630]

Man, I know everyone has their opinion and has bad luck with vehicles, but I have a 1990 Chevy cheyenne pickup and it has 200,000 miles on all original parts and never had a problem out of it! Im not sure why the 2500 has given you problems. From experience I know that is rare for a chevy!

[Superlakaiskater]

@EMT630 yeah man i got a 1990 chevy silverado with 205,000 milies on it and as never had a porblem i am about to put super 44's on it in a bit

[youdragon]

damn thats pretty loud inside the cab

[DarrenWS6]

i know, i hated it. Glad I dont have to deal with it anymore.

[youdragon]

sounds nice but yea after awhile i can see it being very bad lol, what did u do put the stock muffler back on?

[DarrenWS6]

No, traded the truck in for an F150.

[youdragon]

ouch traded the chevy for a ford, not a fan of chevys?

[DarrenWS6]

Not after dealing with this truck. As soon as the warranty ended I got rid of it. 11mpg sucked too, 16 is much better.

[youdragon]

my 97 serria dosne tgive me to many proubles what was going wrong on yours?

[DarrenWS6]

had a piston slap issue, it blew the power steering pump, and brake booster.

[youdragon]

power steering pump would be easy to fix the pistion not so much lol

[DarrenWS6]

lol yeah, point is none of that should happen in the first 30k miles.

[youdragon]

@DarrenWS6 damn the first 30k wow that does suck my power steering lines got a small leak at 120k miles but it sealed it self up lol,

[chevyblazer1987]

very good reason y gm went bankrupt lol

[youdragon]

and at night my typing seems to go to shit lol

[sayer308]

i can get up to 17mpg in my 02 6.0 it must have been your exaust

[DarrenWS6]

@sayer308 probably. All stock I got a best of 14.1mpg.

[sayer308]

ya i usually get around 15 but on the highway i could pull of 17 which isn't bad for an engine with that much displacement

[laupy1]

i like it im replacing my 40 series this week with a 44

[LaZyThumbTaC]

I posted on here quite a few months ago.. id say bout 8-9. Anyway, listening to it now.. dude the super 44 sound identical to the 40's. Hell, my super 40's might even sound a tad bit louder, & all I have is just dual flowmaster super 40 mufflers(id say straight pipes but the cats are still there, even though i have 2 mufflers). Bottom line is.. there is no difference between the 40's & the 44's!

[DarrenWS6]

From a quick opinion perspective there isn't, but scientifically there is, locations of all 3 of those mufflers is different, helping to cause a different tone. The Super 44 being the deepest aggressive sounding muffler, the 40 Delta retaining an aggressive sound with a hint of a deep tone, and the Super 40s being deep and mildly aggressive when floored.

[muscle1983]

luv it!

[fordboy111591]

ran nothing but headers then single in single out flowmaster 40s with dumps hell yea try that get all the tone and agression you want

[DarrenWS6]

nice. definitely will.

[fordboy111591]

im wanting some more flowmasters fer my truck i had 1 dual in dual out on my ranger but it was a bolt on and it fell of then i had a muffler shop weld one on a lil farther back but it was not as loud as i wanted lol so i ran nothing at all on my new ranger but header

[farmer00boy]

hows the interior resonance driving on the highway? does it get irratating

[DarrenWS6]

this truck was very annoying after driving for it after awhile. I couldn't drive it more than a half hr or an hr before the deep note gave me a headache

[farmer00boy]

ya i put the flomaster 50 on my f150 sounds great when your accelerating, and it's nice and quiet when cruising, not as loud as your truck tho

[GitRDoneDaleJr]

Sounds great from the inside. As I commented in one of your other video's, we're trying to find some for our Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4... Any suggestions of what setup it should be?

[DarrenWS6]

Sounds annoying actually lol, if you wanting Flowmaster, i'd say a SI/DO Super 44, 3" in, 2.5" out with 4" tip. angled however you want. If you provide the muffler and tips a shop should do it from $106 - $150.

[LaZyThumbTaC]

X pipe will quiet it down? I could of sworn I read a responce comment you had to some1 elses question saying X made it sound more like a "monster truck" & H made it more aggressive sounding w/ a deeper tone... whats the difference?

[DarrenWS6]

i meant it wouldn't quiet it down, not majorly, it generally takes away the crackle and properly balances the scavenging. H pipe doesn't balance that greatly but contributes to a deep sound.

[LaZyThumbTaC]

(continued from last comment)...alsooo, whats the difference between H & X pipes. I mean i want loudness but also power gains. I am just so damn confused cause people give me all different opinions & frankly I dunno who to believe.

[DarrenWS6]

Well he is correct about single exhaust ( single tailpipe or dual ) is bettwer than true dualed. True duals are louder in high rpm, but single will hold a stronger idle. If you have a 3" intermediate pipe, then a muffler with 3" inlet and 2.5" dual outlets will perform better. The flow balances out better. Well the Super 44 is the best muffler they make, loudest 2 chamber, but Flowmasters do not gain power. X pipe will best for performance, it would quiet it down alot, my F150s X'd

[fordboy111591]

really man jus chop ur pipe of at the header but leave a lil bit coming off ur headers so you can weld on ur muffler the dump it down loud agressive as hell and you can tell the power change low end torque and trotle response

[LaZyThumbTaC]

So i went to this garage down the street from me today. I talked w/ the owner & he says its much better to go w/ a single muffler for dual exhaust that 2 of them. He said it wont make a differenc in power/loudness & that id just be paying more. Also that the 2.5" pipes after the muffler would be better than the 3".. is this complete bullshit/is he correct? Oh & he also said the 40 series was the best muffler that flowmaster had to offer as far as loudness & horsepower gains go. Im so confused!

[LaZyThumbTaC]

So all in all, what do you think the best bet I should go w/? Single muffler/dual? Cause I do want great sound(loud) outa it, much like yours did, but I dont have the High flow cats. Not sure how much horsepower im gettin now outa the stock 6.0 in my 2500HD too so I dunno how much that would effect my truck.

[DarrenWS6]

factory its programmed for the 3" duals, so you might as well keep it dualed as long as you go with free flowing mufflers like Magnaflow, and Borla. Go with a chambered muffler like Cherrybomb, and Flowmaster, it blocks the flow to create a sound and restricts. But 14" or 18" Magnaflow bodies on it and you might like it. I was planning to put 18" bodies on mine.

[LaZyThumbTaC]

So its not a good setup then on newer vehicals, so i prolly shouldnt go w/ dual mufflers then huh??? And also, since i dont have any "high flow" cats, would it sound less louder if I were to just keep the stock ones on instead?

[DarrenWS6]

Not unless you have the horsepower to back it up. True duals isn't really neccessary unless the engine produces about 350+ horsepower, and is programmed for true duals. Yes it will be quieter.

[LaZyThumbTaC]

I know they dual into single pipes, but im asking what would be the best to do regardless. Like does it make it louder to be running true duals w/ 2 mufflers or does it make it softer sounding compared to it just being a single muffler or does it even make a difference at all?? Also, did you remove the cats as well to get the sound you did outa your old 2500HD that your drivin in this video/not?? And one more thing.. how was your horespower/gas mileage afterwards?

[DarrenWS6]

True duals is louder and more aggressive sounding, and louder inside. Unless custom tuned for them, it is not a good performing setup on newer modern vehicles. Nope, it has hi-flow Magnaflow cats which was from the previous owner. The 6.0L is just a loud engine. My father was driving in the video, not sure, it was much better before though, I felt a little loss of low end afterwards, and my economy dropped 0.4mpg.

[LaZyThumbTaC]

Hey man, nice ride, even though you did get rid of it. I have a 06' GMC SIERRA 2500HD, thinkin bout puttin some pipes on it myself. Was jw whats better/louder.. 2 flowmaster mufflers or just 1. Also, iver heard the original 40 series is better.. true/false??

[DarrenWS6]

The best setup to run is a single muffler, but these trucks come with dual pipes into a dual inlet muffler so it makes easy to convert it to a true dual. Super 44 is the best Flowmaster has produced, but Flowmaster is cheap stuff overall.

[switchin0]

man you're crazy for getting rid of that truck. i mean damn it's bad ass.

[DarrenWS6]

yeah it was cool, but it sucked the gas too much. Never would have been able to afford anything last summer at $4.20 a gallon, right now I could, but I like the 16mpg my F150 gets.

[tythesnoman]

Annoying? thats music to my ears

[DarrenWS6]

Different people have different tolerances.

[tythesnoman]

true that

[pballer2005]

that would start to bug me on long trips, around town it would be cool though.

[DarrenWS6]

yeah it was a bit annoying, I'm happy I no longer own the truck.

[scc24540]

hey d00d you have the best sounding chebbie around. cant wait to hear what you do with t2's exhaust

[dodge2289]

you need to do a video of the rpms and speedometer

[DarrenWS6]

yeah, well this trucks gone now, check out my other video "2005 Chevy Silverado true dual Flowmaster Super 44s" for some rpm shots though, & my other videos in my channel ( night shots )

[cipmars]

Dude, THAT's a rumble!

[trailrider92]

Hey dude is you truck a 2500HD or just a silverado 2500 cuz my dad has a 2500HD and has stock exhaust pipes and it sounds like you truck before your flowmaster upgrade but you truck sounds sweet man how much money did you have to invest on the flowmasters??

[DarrenWS6]

thanks, yep its a 2500HD. $345 all together, $165 for the super 44s, $70 for tips, $106 installed with tax. Very happy with it all

[trailrider92]

aight thanks

[scc24540]

damn my truck sounds good LMAO

[Vette31991]

Sounds great!

[DarrenWS6]

thanks man, I really like it
