Hey man sick truck, i have a '03 silverado 1500hd 6.0L and i want to put the same exhaust in, how much was the final amount for this exhaust with all mods?
@licherik at the time ( '08 ) it was just $340 some parts & install since the 2500HD already has the true dualed 3" pipes. For you to have duals bent and parts, probably $550.
@licherik My dad has an 01 1500hd it has stock true duals to the muffler then the muffler has a built in y pipe he got 2 stainless steel magnaflow mufflers 3" tailpipes to 3.5 inch tips for 600 bucks
its not your mufflers losing your hp...it's having 3" true duals and hi-flows on a stock 6.0L that ruined the power. 2-1/4 or 2-1/2 and stock cats would still be really loud and kept your power up. looking forward to new vids of the new truck though
@DarrenWS6 i got super 44s on my 1999 ford ranger i noticed a huge hp increase but i think the stock muffler was clogged or somthing i like my super 44 i installed my self but the only bad thing was welding the thing in it was hard to weld the top half of the pipes. but by the way i like your truck my next truck i wanna get is a 99 chevy silverado ext cab
Hey nice truck!! I have a 99 silverado with dual exhaust. I put the super44s on it not a big fan, too much drone. So I put flowmasters 50series on, and what difference. deeper tone hardly any interior noise, until you put your foot into it then you can really hear it. What else have you done to your truck?
Dude that exhaust sucks ass worst exhaust I've ever heard !!!!! NOT just playing sounds badass I've got a Chevy Silverado 05 with a flowmaster super 40 and when I went to pick it up from the muffler shop and It cranked up I shat myself Flowmaster makes some of the exhaust but if i had the mony I'd go with Corsa
yeah, well the dumbass before me didn't do it right, hangers are all busted off and with it patched it sounds like shit, your old silverado sounds pretty damn good so i'm thinking about using your setup
thank ya, just bought my silverado has an exhaust on it now, but not true duals and it has a few leaks and a half dollar size hole in one of the pipes
both of those reasons, 11mpg was killing me at $4.10 a gallon, and the power steering and braking went out on it and cyl5 had a slap issue, covered by warranty atleast which had expired shortly after those fixes. Much happier with my new truck.
dam well honestly chevys not really known for supreme quality lol but hey atleast u had ur fun with it when u had it she had a nice little rumble to her.
aww really, i was into getting one but a 1500 crew cab z71 i dont know what to do after hearing that, im go just stick with my two mini trucks. nice truck btw
it will be a 99' to 03' 5.3L ext cab... just gotta sell my mustang first, but i dont see that being a problem. i usually trade cars and trucks in every 6 months to a year. im hoping ill eventually keep 1 of them haha
why thanks, i should go to your channel and have a listen at your truck, lets see, oh wait, you dont have jack shit in your channel, hmm, smart to leave a wise comment when you dont even have a fucking video of anything at all on your page.
4.10s & limited slip. I never really had it on the highway so I cant honestly give you an answer, but I would imagine it would be like everyone elses ( 14 - 15 mpg )
i like thoses true dual you got on your truck nice i wanted to do something like that on my 72 chevy cheyenne i hope to post some videos really soon say how much would muffler shop would charge for a Exhuast system i already bought my flowmaster super 40 series mufflers so is there any tips you can give me
$230 is what they charged for the install with my mufflers & tips on my current truck. This truck had duals already so they charged me half price and did tailpipes & back.
your truck sounds good . . i got a 1997 chevy silverado true duals with a flow and i gotta keep the cats and i gotta have a muffler. i was wondering if you had any suggestions for what could be the loudest muffler i could get for it cause i been lookin alot and i dont kno what would be best to make it as loud as i can but still legal and i wanna do it for under 250 any suggestions ?
I had a 96 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 w/ 368xxx miles and ran like new! But I'm getting an 01 2500HD crew cab or a 2003 2500HD thats lifted this weekend! I have a firebird now and I miss having a truck!
i dont see why everyone hates on gm. they rock. i got a 90 gmc sierra 1500 with well over 175,000 miles on it and it runs better than new. i love it. im redoing the entire exhaust and thinkin about flowmaster mufflers when i do. those dont sound too bad. GM rocks tho
Yeah they're alright, some people are just different. I liked mine, but I didn't agree with it in some aspects. I didn't really need a 3/4 ton truck, and I was raised liking Fords. I would take another Silverado someday, especially a 2007+ VortexMax LTZ.
i agree with you. if you dont need a 3/4 ton truck why would you buy one. the fuel consumption is not great it gets better with the dmax cummins and the strokes but then the fule price kicks in. all of the brands yes they are bad ass and look great but if you dont pull or load something everyday to "live" why would you need one. now i think i would have one either way but just saying.
When I bought the truck it was doing around 13MPG. I did flowmasters, a K&N Coldair intake, And edelbrock shorty headers and it does around 11.5 to 12MPG. I guess the 6.0L is just going to be thirsty no matter what you do.
the real crappy trucks are chevys. cheap junk. how many times have u drove by a chevy with a light out or something going wrong with it. gm in genral just makes cheap crap. chevys are just stupidly desiened. i feel bad for people that spend all that money for a GM and all they get in return is underpowered crap
well, as I agree with you on most of that, some I dont. My Silverado wasn't real comfortable, suspension was a bit rough, but my truck never blew any light bulb of any sort. GM trucks are alright, and simple, but the newer they get the cheaper they are built, with alot of plastic and electronic crap, the thing I liked about mine was the engine with the new exhaust, and the front end, other than that, it sucked gas fast, and was a piece of shit that broke down twice. I love my Ford.
i bought a powerstroke, can't complain. i prefer gas over deisel because you can actually work on them, but then again, you buy a ford and you don't have to work on it right?? lol
yeah, i dont really need a diesel, I dont throw alot of work at my truck. Hell I dont need a 3/4 ton truck, my 1/2 ton F150 hauls plenty and can carry my fourwheeler, and get better economy doing so.
eh i don't know man, friend at work has an f150, i drive f350 powerstoker and still with high diesel prices, i still beat him out by 2 cents a mile. he averages about 15, i'm getting better than 18. he drives almost all highway, i'm almost all country roads, i can't figure out either! i used to be a chevy man too, tryin to sell off the last of them as we speak
Oh ofcoarse this system was louder than my F-150s. I liked the sound of this one much much more, as you can tell from my reaction to the first start lol, but I love that i'm getting 16.2mpg with my F150 vs the 12 I got with the Chevy. No doubt the Chevy sounded better than my F150 does now, but we'll see what happens when I pull the rear cats out and only run the two front cats. Should be the same loudness but with the Magnaflow tone.
dang man, ive been workin full time this summer just so i can buy me about a 2000 chevy 1500 z71 (95 c2500 atm with original 40 series flowmasters) and ive gotta say, those super 44s have a much better tone than the 40s, ill definately be putting 44s on my new truck now. Thanks for such a great vid
why not dump it? sounds much better than dual tips, and a true dual won't show actual horsepower gains on the speedo. get bolt-ons until you get a turbo substantial upgrade. chicken tenders.
I dont want to have any more interior drone than it already gives, plus I like side exit tips on trucks. I understand that too. The purpose of this exhaust was not for performance, it was for an incrediable sound, and I believe I succeeded. If I wanted performance I would not have chosen Flowmaster, and I would have had the 3" pipes replaced with 2.5", and I would have done more performance modifications such as tune, CAI, better spark plugs, injectors.. etc.
my dad has just 1 flowmaster and its pry just as loud but awesome vid darren thats a sweet truck my dads is a silverado to chevy's the best u can get so yah nice video!!!!!
i agree with everyone, sounds great! i personly dont consider it a true dual exhaust because of the h-pipe but everyone has there own two cents. why not an X-pipe, i think it would make a much better tone with one...little less restriction too.
thanks. When it comes to trucks, they need a X pipe or H, cause the left manifold exhaust is guided to the right, then back to the left before axle, so its quieter and unbalances the pressure. I went H cause I hate the X pipe rasp and how it quiets a system down. H pipe keeps the heavy tone of the Hi-Flow cats and mufflers, and does the job of balancing the system out.
oh i agree with having some kind of connection due to the uneven back pressure, more on new trucks than old ones. i never recommend not having an X or H-pipe installed.
$335 installed. $70 for tips, $160 for mufflers, $106 installed with mandrel bent tailpipes. That ofcoarse was last fall before the rising steel prices, right now its more like $110 tips, $174 mufflers, $106 installed bumping it to a hair below $400
I saw on here your average fuel economy said 12.7!! mine only says 10.8 What else is done to your other then exhaust?? I put a 77 series k&n cool air intake on mine to help out
K&N is junk in my opinion, i'll never buy another.. & currently its down to 12.1, exhaust killed it my 0.4mpg. i drive it easy and dont break 2000rpms often, and stay in 4th gear as much as possible. Other than vexhaust nothing else is really done, just them DRL bulbs, painted grill & emblems & badges, smoked tails... no other real mods
Sounds real good. I got a Magnaflow dual catback on my 95 Sierra C1500 with a 305. I'm gonna take it to and exhaust shop and have them remove the cat so it's a bit louder, it sounds good but too quiet for me.
well then why the fuck does it sound clearer & healthier after 1,000 miles? Its all brand new metal inside those mufflers, once installed and the engine runs the exhaust fumes through it the soot places in and thickens in some spots and with that the the flow gets better since it cannot escape though any other baffle plates, therefore, BROKEN IN
DIC ( Driver Information Center ) if your truck was equipped with the DIC you will have computer options, redundant radio controls, and other little gadgets. If you got the 4 buttons on the wheel, the bottom left arrow like button is the economy center.
not exactly, Flowmaster has been known to rob a little gas mileage in some applications but I only noticed a 0.4mpg loss on my setup so its not even noticeable, low end torque is still pretty good. The Super 44 is the most free flowing chambered muffler Flowmaster has put out.
K&N products are alright, I personally wouldn't use another, their filters require oiling and dont protect as good as most others out there such as AEM, Outlaw, AirAid, just to name a few good ones.
Sounds awesome! I love how the 6.0's sound. Now you said you have magnaflow highflow cats on right? Did that effect the o2 sensors? I also have two almost brand new magnaflow highflows laying around from my 350 silverado. I was just wondering if you had any problems with the o2 sensors?
sounds ok. id take that H pipe off and jus true dual it with only cats on it. thats how a chevy should sound. 45 degree angle the tips. bulldog the truck. tint eh windows. clear headlights. adn some billet is the way it NEEDs to be.
thanks, well we all have our opinions and are own preferences. 6.0Ls sound terrible without mufflers, only 5.3s & 4.8s sound good no muffler. The tips I chose look the best with the side exit I prefered,I dont like 45 cut tips unless they are straight out the back, and I dont like straight out on a 4x4. & I already have tint, factory '03+ headlamps are halogen/clear, and I have enough chome already. Dark red & black is the theme of my truck.
I dont have an exhaust, yet... but I put a hypertech programmer in it and built my own cool air intake and went from 10 mpgs to just under 14 (playing easy). But how can you play easy, she gets up and goes.
Are those like wicked loud on the inside or can you like still have conversations and like well i know your not supposed to but answer your phone?also does it get annoying inside?
2500rpms & higher it is, it drones very heavily. but anything below that its ok you can still keep conversation going. It doesn't hurt the ears but yeah it will wake up a passenger if they're sleeping lol. If I had only 1 muffler it wouldn't be so loud, and if they were mounted further back in the bed it wouldn't be so heavy. The mufflers are under the cab about 2"s so thats how the sound is so loud in the cab.
so if i mount them further back under the bed it wont be AS loud in the truck. dont get me wrong i love loudness. i just wouldnt mind if my girlfriend wasnt scared to come with me.... from time to time
yeah, get them mounted as close to the axle as possible. I forgot to tell the guy who did it to run about 1.5ft of pipe from the pipes to the mufflers so the mufflers sat back a bit he just welded them up to the pipes and ran the tailpipes. I dont mind it though. If they were mounted where I wanted them i'd think the heavy droning point would start somewhere from 3000 - 3500rpms.
Sounds good man you should get some headers now sice youve already put that much into the exhaust. I just put some long tubes in my truck about 3 weeks ago it gives it more of a catless sound u can hear the air rushing like a shuuuuush sound and it crackles more.
Hey man sick truck, i have a '03 silverado 1500hd 6.0L and i want to put the same exhaust in, how much was the final amount for this exhaust with all mods?
also what is the song name :p kind of mint..

ill tell ya somethin darren i like the new ford but i think the silvy sounded just a little bit deepr when started and a little louder
trailrider92 3 years ago
Oh ofcoarse this system was louder than my F-150s. I liked the sound of this one much much more, as you can tell from my reaction to the first start lol, but I love that i'm getting 16.2mpg with my F150 vs the 12 I got with the Chevy. No doubt the Chevy sounded better than my F150 does now, but we'll see what happens when I pull the rear cats out and only run the two front cats. Should be the same loudness but with the Magnaflow tone.

dang man, ive been workin full time this summer just so i can buy me about a 2000 chevy 1500 z71 (95 c2500 atm with original 40 series flowmasters) and ive gotta say, those super 44s have a much better tone than the 40s, ill definately be putting 44s on my new truck now. Thanks for such a great vid

why not dump it? sounds much better than dual tips, and a true dual won't show actual horsepower gains on the speedo. get bolt-ons until you get a turbo substantial upgrade. chicken tenders.
leonnuggetz 3 years ago
I dont want to have any more interior drone than it already gives, plus I like side exit tips on trucks. I understand that too. The purpose of this exhaust was not for performance, it was for an incrediable sound, and I believe I succeeded. If I wanted performance I would not have chosen Flowmaster, and I would have had the 3" pipes replaced with 2.5", and I would have done more performance modifications such as tune, CAI, better spark plugs, injectors.. etc.
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
would the 2.5" sound much different than the 3" do you think? thanks.
MotoXFreak382 3 years ago
no, it'll have more of a pop to it because it'll be louder, and better scavenging ( back pressure )
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
my dad has just 1 flowmaster and its pry just as loud but awesome vid darren thats a sweet truck my dads is a silverado to chevy's the best u can get so yah nice video!!!!!
matallica54 3 years ago
Thats cool. I like Fords better, I didn't own this truck for too long.
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
i agree with everyone, sounds great! i personly dont consider it a true dual exhaust because of the h-pipe but everyone has there own two cents. why not an X-pipe, i think it would make a much better tone with one...little less restriction too.
javojjaaf 3 years ago
thanks. When it comes to trucks, they need a X pipe or H, cause the left manifold exhaust is guided to the right, then back to the left before axle, so its quieter and unbalances the pressure. I went H cause I hate the X pipe rasp and how it quiets a system down. H pipe keeps the heavy tone of the Hi-Flow cats and mufflers, and does the job of balancing the system out.
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
oh i agree with having some kind of connection due to the uneven back pressure, more on new trucks than old ones. i never recommend not having an X or H-pipe installed.
javojjaaf 3 years ago
bad ass, how much? lol
wifisherman 3 years ago
$335 installed. $70 for tips, $160 for mufflers, $106 installed with mandrel bent tailpipes. That ofcoarse was last fall before the rising steel prices, right now its more like $110 tips, $174 mufflers, $106 installed bumping it to a hair below $400

ahhh flowmaster mufflers are not packed they are chambered so the sound will not change

the DIC is never accurate. hand calculate it for a true reading
duramaxjh 3 years ago
Well I re-set mine every 500 miles, I would say its accurate. I'm always careful on it when I re-set it, which betters my economy.
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
I saw on here your average fuel economy said 12.7!! mine only says 10.8 What else is done to your other then exhaust?? I put a 77 series k&n cool air intake on mine to help out
nk117mx 3 years ago
K&N is junk in my opinion, i'll never buy another.. & currently its down to 12.1, exhaust killed it my 0.4mpg. i drive it easy and dont break 2000rpms often, and stay in 4th gear as much as possible. Other than vexhaust nothing else is really done, just them DRL bulbs, painted grill & emblems & badges, smoked tails... no other real mods
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
I was going to ask you were you got them blue DRL bulbs.... look nice.
MotoXFreak382 3 years ago
Ebay, 4114 LED DRLs, $38 shipped.
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
Sounds real good. I got a Magnaflow dual catback on my 95 Sierra C1500 with a 305. I'm gonna take it to and exhaust shop and have them remove the cat so it's a bit louder, it sounds good but too quiet for me.
snakesonaplane2 4 years ago
Nice sound, btw, theres no "break in period" on that kind of muffler...
PedalPumpinMan31 4 years ago
well then why the fuck does it sound clearer & healthier after 1,000 miles? Its all brand new metal inside those mufflers, once installed and the engine runs the exhaust fumes through it the soot places in and thickens in some spots and with that the the flow gets better since it cannot escape though any other baffle plates, therefore, BROKEN IN
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
theres no brake in technically, any muffler would do that, a muffler requires packing material in order for it to actually get louder from use

hey how did you get your display to say fuel economy or average fuel economy??
beleive04redsox 4 years ago
DIC ( Driver Information Center ) if your truck was equipped with the DIC you will have computer options, redundant radio controls, and other little gadgets. If you got the 4 buttons on the wheel, the bottom left arrow like button is the economy center.

do flowmasters help in gas mileage
tylergrubb15 4 years ago
not exactly, Flowmaster has been known to rob a little gas mileage in some applications but I only noticed a 0.4mpg loss on my setup so its not even noticeable, low end torque is still pretty good. The Super 44 is the most free flowing chambered muffler Flowmaster has put out.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
what bout with a K&N
tylergrubb15 4 years ago
K&N products are alright, I personally wouldn't use another, their filters require oiling and dont protect as good as most others out there such as AEM, Outlaw, AirAid, just to name a few good ones.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
Sounds awesome! I love how the 6.0's sound. Now you said you have magnaflow highflow cats on right? Did that effect the o2 sensors? I also have two almost brand new magnaflow highflows laying around from my 350 silverado. I was just wondering if you had any problems with the o2 sensors?
JesseBoom700 4 years ago
thanks! nope, same original o2s, never saw a CEL or anything and never had a leak or any other problem.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
sounds ok. id take that H pipe off and jus true dual it with only cats on it. thats how a chevy should sound. 45 degree angle the tips. bulldog the truck. tint eh windows. clear headlights. adn some billet is the way it NEEDs to be.
TehWrestler 4 years ago
thanks, well we all have our opinions and are own preferences. 6.0Ls sound terrible without mufflers, only 5.3s & 4.8s sound good no muffler. The tips I chose look the best with the side exit I prefered,I dont like 45 cut tips unless they are straight out the back, and I dont like straight out on a 4x4. & I already have tint, factory '03+ headlamps are halogen/clear, and I have enough chome already. Dark red & black is the theme of my truck.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
and i love it man sweet!

Do you notice an increase in fuel efficiency due to increased scavenging and less back pressure?
musclecar76 4 years ago
nope, mpg went down .4, so i went 12.8mpg to 12.4mpg, nothing too bad, once I get a intake & tune i'll probably see 14mpg.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
true.
I dont have an exhaust, yet... but I put a hypertech programmer in it and built my own cool air intake and went from 10 mpgs to just under 14 (playing easy). But how can you play easy, she gets up and goes.
MotoXFreak382 3 years ago
ah sweet. yeah mine needed 2100 to move the body, never got good gas mileage, glad i dont have it anymore
DarrenWS6 3 years ago
Are those like wicked loud on the inside or can you like still have conversations and like well i know your not supposed to but answer your phone?also does it get annoying inside?
shadowscreep213 4 years ago
2500rpms & higher it is, it drones very heavily. but anything below that its ok you can still keep conversation going. It doesn't hurt the ears but yeah it will wake up a passenger if they're sleeping lol. If I had only 1 muffler it wouldn't be so loud, and if they were mounted further back in the bed it wouldn't be so heavy. The mufflers are under the cab about 2"s so thats how the sound is so loud in the cab.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
so if i mount them further back under the bed it wont be AS loud in the truck. dont get me wrong i love loudness. i just wouldnt mind if my girlfriend wasnt scared to come with me.... from time to time
shadowscreep213 4 years ago
yeah, get them mounted as close to the axle as possible. I forgot to tell the guy who did it to run about 1.5ft of pipe from the pipes to the mufflers so the mufflers sat back a bit he just welded them up to the pipes and ran the tailpipes. I dont mind it though. If they were mounted where I wanted them i'd think the heavy droning point would start somewhere from 3000 - 3500rpms.
DarrenWS6 4 years ago
Sounds awesome! My 2500HD is running great. Man, I want to get started on the mods, but have to start saving. Great job!

Sounds good man you should get some headers now sice youve already put that much into the exhaust. I just put some long tubes in my truck about 3 weeks ago it gives it more of a catless sound u can hear the air rushing like a shuuuuush sound and it crackles more.
