[BZsZ400]

For whoever wants to say this truck isn't that loud or anything of the sort I own a '03 silverado with an 8.1 and I want to point out that that is a very nice sounding truck for having 4 catalytic converters on it, And for the guy below that said the lightning would "roast it" yes it would because this truck is ment to pull, and it does it very effectivly where the lightning is ment to be light an fast. I have had 10,000 pounds behind mine and didnt know i was pulling anything

Well said BZsZ400, except one thing, my Silverado only has 2 cats (albeit 2 very large cats). Maybe they changed something for 2003 or maybe the state your truck was sold in required it to have 4 cats? My 2002 Corvette has 4 (two main and two "pup" cats right off the manifolds)

damn..that sound hella GOOD. help me out here. i just got a 01 2500 8.1 chevy burban and i am wanting to to upgrade my muffler...

what do u have on ur ride? how much did it run you? (im more of a import tuner guy.i had to get a bigger car due to family) so i really need help on this one...thnx.

[corvettedude346]

On a suburban I would go a little more conservative and maybe go with a good flowmaster setup, maybe even the 70 series like I had previously on my truck (see other vid) because you will get more resonance inside that big interior. Also I always heard the running the pipes out the back is a bad idea on SUV's because the carbon monoxide could make it's way inside, so I would stick with tips out the sides.

[travelszdredneck]

Yes. 496 ci that Chevy produces. It's a big block. They have torque out the ass.

[matthewtug]

Sweet. I bet it does...

besides the squeaky belt that sounds alot like my small block 350. But I know for a fact that thing could stomp my 350 to dust. I just have Magnaflow cats. What are you running here?

[MrChriskenser]

@corvettedude346 waht kind of rims are those? they look badass

[DontTread0nMe1776]

@ryeskater2 Stock dual cats, then just X pipe in place of the muffler.

[DontTread0nMe1776]

@TheDurnans I put a Goodyear Gatorback belt on it, hasn't squeaked since.

[SMiller5488]

I love how the serpentine best squeaks the hole time and how the exhaust doesn't even line up, I can only ponder what a shitty job thee did and how many exhaust leaks there are...

[150peacemaker]

reasons i want a lifted truck, no need for jack stands

[ilovegoatsecks]

the H2 rims look good on that truck.

[Thorrider152]

i have an 01 8.1 which is said to be the fastest year and is actually a 502....for the comment above about the ford lightning roasting it...your wrong..light to light i "roasted" a lightning, and all i have is exhaust...o ya and 33s :)

[TheDurnans]

I have an 8.1 too. You have the same belt squeak when the engine is running. Check your power steering pulley. I bet it's too far out by just a tad. Adjust it and I bet your squeak goes away.

[ryeskater2]

that sounds orgasmic.. so what is that truck running for cats and mufflers?
