mufflers

[lilrobo]

hey guys i am about ready for mufflers on my 55 LS motor swap what do you recommend, i want a good soft sound , i plan to run 2 pips out i say
2 1/4 or 2 1/2 dump at rear , i know there are so many out there i have been watching videos its hard to decide
thanks

I think a 2 1/2" system, with H or x pipe added would be the way to go. The mellowest sound you get, will go all the way to the rear bumper ...(if you dump em under the truck ,say @ the rear axle), you will have a "drone" to deal with. You will hear many choices on mufflers, but my thoughts would be a pair of 18" body Magna Flows? Longhorn

Go for it ,guys! I run 3 chamber (50's Flow masters) on my truck....mellow as hell in town....but they "bark", about 4000-up? Come on...the man wants to know what fits his ride...(mellow/easy)...share? longhorn

OK crazy, 50 Chevy pickup (not an LS just a 350) running 2-1/2" pipes with H pipe and Borla mufflers, nice sound and no drone. Only advise I would give is make sure the mufflers are back by the bed and not under the cab...Jim

Ive always ran magnaflow on my LS motors and loved them. I did step up and go with a 2 into 1 3" system this time running through a 3" magnaflow muffler and couldn't be happier.

Thanks bro, that was something that I forgot to add....yes, the farther back the muffs are, the more mellow the sound will be Longhorn
