4.3 glasspack exhaust

[XHProductions1]

Nice. Im adding glasspacks to my 4.3L V6! Yours sounds badass!

[FANADICALCOWHEAD]

Holy shit that sounds great! Personally I think it sounds better than the LS - series v8's of today.

[81stepside]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Check out my other videos to hear my straight piped cummins and my cammed 70 chevy with flowmasters.

[cotequadsport]

still to this day, this is the meanest,nastiest 4.3 ive ever heard in my life.

[81stepside]

I haven't checked on this video much, I sold the truck in december with a blown head gasket, cooked tranny, and a beat up body for 2500. It was still runnin like a beast, typical chevy

[rusted70chevy17]

That sounds better than mine.i had a thrush on but took it off.you should check out my video of it

[cotequadsport]

THAT IS STILL THE NASTIEST 4.3 IVE EVER HEARD

[rusted70chevy17]

I had a thrush glasspack on it but I went back to a stock one cuz it sounded too "ricey" for me

[rusted70chevy17]

My 1995 2500 silverado 4x4 with a 4.3 and 3" stock exhaust gets 12.5mpg on 33/12.50/r16 super swamper radial tsl's and its not lifted

[houweling774]

how much did it cost to set that up??

[kreigsmann]

HOW ARE WE DOING TODAY GARY BUSEY

WERE DOING GREAT

ILL KEEP IT UP THEN

[thsholt]

is tht the vortec 4.3?cuz i have tht on my s10 and tht sounds great!

[1994chevysilverado]

sounds just like my 4.3 vortec silverado with a single glasspack. It's alittle high pitch for me after about 3500 rpm. up to there it sounds great though!!!

[freewillie23]

hey how did you run it ?

[freewillie23]

hey how did you run the glasspack? like where your old muffler is or you bought the whole pipe and everything.

[whitechevy60]

a lot of truck for a 4.3

[640101vh]

@whitechevy60 Shocked Chevy made a V6 4x4 long bed. On top of that looks like there was a towing hitch installed as well. That 4.3 must be worked real hard.

[dze1014]

@640101vh dude i have a 4.3 and that thing does work. 140k on the stock motor and its still gets up and goes. the thing is a tank

[nativebrother]

@dze1014 Just about to hit 170k on mine and no probs yet. Which reminds me I'm due for an oil change :D

[trunkbangking]

id say a thrush or flowmaster would sound better...

[MuscleShark16]

I'm actually about to upload a vid of my 4.3L Silverado with flowmaster dumps, I wanted to compare with people on here. Check it out soon.

[522viper]

It's a 3/4 of a 350, that's why those 4.3's are the shit.

[onemichaelmarsee]

sounds like a v8 lol

[Kenny42581]

is that an actual thrush muffler or just a knock off glasspack?

[kreigsmann]

@Kenny42581 the knockoff glasspacks and other mufflers are always the best to get.

smaller companies have more to loose so they make the best stuff when it comes to mufflers.

flowmaster and cherry bombs are all made of cheap aluminised steel

and the welds fall apart.

[aaminjoshi91]

did the 4 inch tip change the sound any? i hear they are called echo cans and they give a nice sound when added to a good muffler like your glasspack. I got a 4.7 dodge V8 with a super 44 and wanna know if by gettin a bigger tip will it change the sound any?

[Honda2x409]

how much did it cost for the whole setup?

[bobbarkee]

i have a 96 4.3 and it gets 23mpg

[Honda2x409]

single or dual exhaust? cat or no cat? i want to put one of these on my 2002 silverado 4.3l. did the exhaust last long?

[81stepside]

single glasspack with Y pipe, stock cats, and its still on there today. been over a year now, a year and two months to be exact, oh and 20,000 miles on it too

[kreigsmann]

BTW you sound like gary busey

[Extremeoffroadfurry]

u made me reply that part like 1000 times lol he does..

[Raichulvl100]

those 4.3l can actually really get up an go i got one last year and was really suprised by the amount of power they have

[ciwannabeacowboy]

sounds great! mind sounds simialar check it out ciwannabeacowboy

[81stepside]

i added a new video of this truck, tell me whatcha think

[kreigsmann]

@81stepside

does this have that cat on it when you made this vid?

[81stepside]

i will whenever i have the time and help to do so

[81stepside]

at the time i had a cracked distributor cap, so a bit of a miss, anyways now this truck has a 3 inch body lift and 285/75 federal couragias, and it gets moving pretty good for what it is, i get 11.5 mpg...

[sledder22]

dude puta vid of this truck up as it is present day, sounds sick, wanna see and and wanna hear it!

[kreigsmann]

@81stepside 11mpg in a 4.3

somthins wrong

[cotequadsport]

thats a bit of truck for the 4.3. mine is stock and i get 15.

[kreigsmann]

yea it is alot of people say the 4.3 has big power for a v6

i had a 3.4 car oil buring 4000lb car before my blazer and even after taking about 300lbs of factory stuff to take off weight it still cant get out of its shadow. (blazer)

in its defence it hasnt has a tune up in over 100k and has a cat and dirty air filter but ive had cars like that before and i didnt have to shift into 2nd to get up a small hill.

its weighing about 2800 lbs unloaded.

[kreigsmann]

@kreigsmann ow did that appear twice?

[weewoodeal]

whats up with the mpg?

[81stepside]

it gets 11.5 with my heavy right foot, it now has wide 33s and a body lift on it, which doesnt help either.

bone stock i got 15 out of it. in my opinion i would go with a 4.8 v8 or 5.3. the ls1 v8s are very efficient and more powerful than the v6. if i could go bak, thats what i would have gotten for sure.

[weewoodeal]

that sounds like somethings wrong with it.... best i have got is 24 and worst was 16 with a cam

[darkeyce02]

i get 10mpgs in my 97 4.3 and its all stock... i wish i got 15 or better

[watso64]

@81stepside only 11.5? thats 350 MPG. I get about 15 MPG with my 4.3. The 4.8 and 5.3 are a heck of lot more powerful and get the same if not better MPG.

[theoutlawoutcast]

@weewoodeal My 1998 S10 with a 4.8 gets 23mpg average highway and city. But i guess a body lift and 33s wud hurt it. My cuzin has an 87 Jeep with a 4.3 outa a 99 S10 and it only gets 12mpg cuz of the 4 inch lift and 34s.

[brad11344]

how does that 4.3 move that 4x4 truck?

[snakesonaplane2]

It's all in the gearing, with stock sized tires 4.10's don't do a bad job of getting it moving, and the 5-speed helps too.

Also, stock exhaust but a 14" turbo muffler and 2.5" single piping out sounds best on a Vortec V6 i've found out, at least in my opinion.

[Mcroostr]

Sounds like your running on 5 cylinders. Spark plugs? Burnt valve?

[81stepside]

its a cheap ass no name 18 inch glasspack from tha muffler shop, one glasspack, with a y pipe and the tips

[clint459]

dude wat kinda glasspack is that and is it one or 2

[81stepside]

sledder22, thanks for the comment, i dont have the video camera anymore, if i get it again i will post another vid... doing donuts or sumthin lol

[81stepside]

yeah ima just leave them alone, i dont care enought about it to mess with them lol

[sledder22]

for request i would like to see anothe rvid of this truck... like normal acclerationn/.. nice truck

[yfzfofitty06]

not to mention it would make for a bad flow coming out a small hole into a large opening then back into a small hole jus doesnt seem right if u ask me i had mine cut off completely on my 5.3L check out my vido

[yfzfofitty06]

dont gut the catsand dnt waist money on high flows jus have them completely cut off reason being high flow cats are still restrictive and u dnt want to gut them incase u ever decide u want them back on and/or u can sale them and get money

[81stepside]

thanks for the comments, if i ever do anything else to the exhaust it will be high flow, or gutted cats.

[sledder22]

nice at the start up... that is a for sure v8 start up, however it does get ricy at the hirgh rpms but man, nice! io havent heard a truck this good with glasspacks ever! however one suggestion for the ricy sounds when in higher rpm would be after the glasspack run 2 3/4" to the tips... gives it a better rumble but just a suggetion.. once again nice exhaust!

[yfzfofitty06]

sounds good on the start up but after that it sounds like a ricer

[81stepside]

hey man, i dont get the video camera often but if i can get it again i will take a launch video

[nascarchevy24]

i just cannot get over how good this thing sounds get some drive by vids or launch vids please

[nascarchevy24]

btw this is Al_97GMC

[81stepside]

thanks im very pleased wit it

[nascarchevy24]

one of the best sounding v6s ive heard nice job
