Silverado 2500HD Super 44 Exhaust

[PoppinRoofie]

how long did it take to break in? i have true dual 40 series on my 2005 grand marquis but its not as deep as your 44s

[DieselProductionz85]

how come you got rid of it ?? nice truck by the way!!

[DarrenWS6]

@DieselProductionz85 broke down twice, wasn't satisfied or comfortable inside it. Always been a Ford guy. Happier in my F150.

[joshua6200]

@DarrenWS6 Broke down how? User error?

[PrairieKid03]

hey man i got a question... did that H pipe do anything.. im runnin true dual thrush welded mufflers on my 5.3 with turndowns... i needs a crossover and have a free H pipe on hand.. i was just wondering if the H added or took anything away.

[DarrenWS6]

@PrairieKid03 Not sure, truck lost low end energy with these mufflers. H pipe was supposed to balance velocity, it may have but it still performed poorly.

[dylan001367]

does putting hi-flow cats make your truck way louder????

PLEASE REPLY

[DarrenWS6]

@dylan001367 not 'way' louder, but it helps a little. Longtube headers and true duals if you want real loud.

[kxdirtrider85]

how much was your hole system

[DarrenWS6]

@kxdirtrider85 at the time $340 some

[kxdirtrider85]

@DarrenWS6 thts it 340 for the exhaust? my frends was like 500

[DarrenWS6]

@kxdirtrider85 yeah, mufflers were $79ea, tips were $70 overall, $110 installed & taxed. This was in early 2007.

[kxdirtrider85]

@DarrenWS6 so all u got was mufler and tips and it sounds sick like this

[DarrenWS6]

@kxdirtrider85 two mufflers, 2500HDs are 3" dual piped from the factory ( until 2007 ), and it had hi-flow cats in it already when I got it, along with a Flo-Pro HD muffler.

[tvesbach]

hey will resonated tips make it quiter or what will they do compaired to a regualer one

[DarrenWS6]

@tvesbach They are claimed to calm down the interior noise some for SUVs and some sports cars. The exhaust tip is the major point of drone aside of the muffler location under the truck.

[jmw7190]

hey im gettin a true dual exhaust on my 1500 soon and i was wondering did you notice any difference with the hi flow cats or no? i heard some people say that they have but my exhaust guy said he looked at a stock cat and hi flow cat and cant even tell the difference

[DarrenWS6]

@jmw7190 they were in the truck when i bought it with the previous exhaust. the difference is inside is not resonated much. Some cases they aren't necessary at all to put in, like Dodges, and some GM cats which are damn near hi-flow as is.

[BlueOx2277]

I have an '05 2500HD, and besides the water pump, never had a problem with it.

Would love to redo my exhaust with that super 44 system. Did it do anything for your horsepower/ fuel economy?

[DarrenWS6]

@BlueOx2277 It lowered fuel economy by almost 1mpg. My average suffered 1.5mpg. Low end torque sucked after it too.

[kb24betterthanmj23]

that truck is nice man

[sayer308]

i got the same tires and your right they suck ass

[unlobobienperron05]

not trying to show off but my silverado 6.0 sounds better with a single exhaust but with double exits and sounds WAY better

[DarrenWS6]

thats cool. i lovethe rumble and tone of a true dual though, cant be beat imo, but the idle of a single muffler is so rich and clear.

[nickman35ss1]

everyone knows adding horsepower to an LS engine is as easy as hitting water when falling out a boat! screw that OHC crap from ford! my friend spent 1500 on a DOHC for his cobra when my 300 buck ls cam eats his!

[dog2jacket]

well seeing that a new chevy's basic 1500 has a 5.3L with 315 hp and ford might have that much and theres is a 5.4L...also the chevy gets better mpg...im not seeing a good argument for the ford guys just seeing a lot of guys getting all pissy. (btw very nice sounding truck!)

[davenorr84]

also, with fords OHC 5.4 the torque comes in higher which isnt the greatest for trucks which need torque at the lowest of RPMs

[plow0www]

niice viid man..i only have 3 favourites and your one of them:)..beest sounding truck i've heard..shouldn't of sold er' haha

great vid 5/5

[DarrenWS6]

thanks. I didn't need nor like the truck so im happy its gone lol.

[plow0www]

why didn't you like it?

[DarrenWS6]

terrible fuel economy, 7500lb gets stuck easy, broke down a couple times, not much of a Chevrolet guy.

[davenorr84]

dude.. the ford is the worst you coulda went to.. where are the ford vids anyway?

[DarrenWS6]

I have this thing, called a Youtube channel...... click my name and oh shit! there it is!...... wow.. Anyways, This Chevy was a piece of shit in my opinion, my F150 is far better, more comfortable, just as tough, and better on gas. I made the right move, i'll always like Ford more, I gave GM a chance.

[davenorr84]

there's no way the HD was a "piece of shit" and you are seriously mistaken if you think the F150 comes close to a 2500HD in strength, and power compared to the gutless 5.4L.. gas?? its a TRUCK with more HP and TQ than the 5.4L.. if you want fuel economy get a honda

[DarrenWS6]

it blew the brakes, then blew the power steering pump, then it developed a piston issue, it was shit. and only 32k miles. Lucky the junker was still warrantied cause that would have fucked me over well. And the F150 frame and 5.4L torque can handle nearly what a 6.0L 2500HD can, so its a better truck for me.

[davenorr84]

i bought my HD with 14k miles now it has 142k not one single problem only a new battery and oil/trans service plus power steering/hydroboost flush and brake resevour flush.. custom tuned by blackbear performance, intake, exhaust and some weight reduction I hit 14.98 @90.12 mph 1/4 mile. I couldnt ask for a single thing more from a world class truck

[DarrenWS6]

Well thats good for you. Mine gave me the listed issues and i'm not even abusive with my vehicles..

[davenorr84]

what "piston" issue are you refering to? piston slap when cold?

[DarrenWS6]

there was a ticking coming from the engine and the dealer noted that piston 5 was ticking. thats when i got rid of it.

[LivinFlowmaster]

lol my dads f-150 can beat that, thats slow as fuck

[killercan10]

in reality...a 1/2 ton frame is no where near a 3/4 ton frame...

[123abc19956]

Horsepower stock-Chevy-300

Horsepower stock-Ford-300

Torque-stock-Chevy-360 lb/ft

Torque-stock-Ford-365 lb/ft

In comparison to the Chevy, exactly how is the Ford gutless? Also, the Chevy (stock) has a similar amount of horsepower and LESS torque.

[davenorr84]

LQ4 6.0L has 330hp/360tq

LQ9 6.0L has 345hp/380tq

more of everything than ford including cubic inches. the only way ford can keep up with a N/A chevy is to boost it

[123abc19956]

hmm..this is what I found on the LQ4:

It is an iron/aluminum (2000 model year engines had cast iron heads) design and produces 300 horsepower (220 kW) to 325 horsepower (242 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m) to 370 lb·ft...gues I cant argue with you on that, or the fact that the low end torque comes on earlier.

IMHO, the best engine Ford's ever made is the 300 I6, btw.

[98Sierra305]

@123abc19956 300 I6, totally agree

[LivinFlowmaster]

lol

[davenorr84]

not for a 7000+lb 3/4 ton.. and no, your daddys F150 cant

[LivinFlowmaster]

tru for a 7000+ but im sry but thats sad what darren had to go thruogh thats y i go with ford

[davenorr84]

bullshit.. darren was a ford guy to begin with he barely gave it a chance.. btw, things break in every car/truck.

[tuffnugly454]

Sweet ass Chevy you had there man! You gonna go with the same Bridgestones on your F150?

[DarrenWS6]

Thanks man. No, I hated those Bridgestones actually, good tire on pavement but the sucked in snow. 33" BFGs are going on the F150 with 18" wheels that I still need to figure out, hopefully this summer cause the F150 needs tires real soon.

[Blue2004Z71]

Still my favorite truck on Youtube! I still wish I could have bought it from ya! 5 stars!

[jjg052590]

iit farted! lol

[Camaro2007]

You might like this, I just took my Flowmaster Super 40 Mufflers off and put 18'' Thrush turbos on my 77 Chevy pickup, I got sick and tired of the drone from in side of the cab. And I could not tell that it was running, Its that quite. Ill post a video of it starting up and Idling. And my flow rate was Increased, my Torque level went up. I love them, and i recommend these.

[speeddemon0712]

nevermind just read ur info.. my bad

[DarrenWS6]

lol, no way am i gonna get this truck back, fuck it lol

[speeddemon0712]

did you just reload the vid? or you get ur truck back? haha

[takethis2urgrv]

the more i see ur vids of this truck i really wanna try the super 44 muffler...but im afraid that i will miss the sound of the 1 chamber

[DarrenWS6]

lol yeah they were sweet. I might be trying some out in my F150 sometime.

[123abc19956]

You might wanna check out the Jones Full Boar as well. They're as loud as the Super 44's, flow more, cost alot less, and sound as good as, if not better than, the super 44. (Check out the 07 Chevy with Full Boar's on here-it sounds awesome)

[123abc19956]

oops that would be the 08 Chevy.  The 07 one sounds bad...

[DarrenWS6]

i've heard of that kit before. Is it stainless steel? That would be another plus compared to Rustmaster's 16 gauge aluminized. The mufflers under this truck looked horrible after winter.

[123abc19956]

I beleive they are. A friend of mine has had them on his truck for 5 years or so and there is no rust on the mufflers.

[f150man55]

ahhh yes the dad vid love that lol

[DarrenWS6]

lol yep, didn't know how the hell to use it hahah

[kelly6580]

why are you posting this now?

[DarrenWS6]

Read the description, I was bored.

[kelly6580]

sorry my bad
