Got my exhaust installed! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Security guy · 02-04-2009, 05:07 PM

I got my exhaust installed the other day. Its 2 1/2" duals with incenerator mufflers. Supposed to be a flowmaster design. It sounds pretty good. Loud as hell driving it to the muffler shop, but much better now. They did an excellent job and kept it up tight against the floor. I didn't want the big tips out the back as thats a pet peve of mine. They could of cut the tips a little shorter, but I'm happy with it for now. Let me know what you think. Name: re1.JPG

I agree!

Thats about how I want mine done as well. Just don't care for oversized chromed pips straight out the back or sides.

Yours looks good!

That looks excellent!!!!
I agree about not liking tips on the exhaust.......

bigguy69 · 02-04-2009, 06:57 PM

looks good!

69halfton · 02-04-2009, 07:09 PM

i like my tips, but not the polished shiny kind. i have my duals strait out the back and cut. just stainless steel, unpolised, like the rest of the system, looks good.

dirtdobber · 02-04-2009, 07:14 PM

that looks really good I liked the way it dumps out in the back

**leddzepp** · 02-04-2009, 07:52 PM

Looks good. I like shiny polished tips...or cut off and dumped, out of sight.

tcb-1 · 02-04-2009, 08:48 PM

simple and clean. right on!

Security guy · 02-04-2009, 09:07 PM

Thanks for the comments! I should have said more about the 'tips'. I've seen to many trucks with the huge chrome tips that stick out past the back bumper about 6 inches. I can't stand those! Over here in N.C., all the 'redneck trucks' with the rebel flags hanging off the bed and loud as heck (trying not to offend anyone) drive me crazy. I like the simple clean, hear it but don't see it exhaust. I guess this is kind of a rant, but oh well. Thanks guys!

I like it myself,and being in NC as well I know what you mean about the rednecks,lol

Where are you in asheville? I am in Canton. Who did the exhaust work for you?

Security guy · 02-04-2009, 09:26 PM

I'm actually in north asheville at new stock road exit off of I-26. The muffler shop is North Buncombe Muffler and Brakes. I had several people recommend him and he's a car nut himself. He invited me to some local car shows coming up and is a great guy to deal with. He did a great job and fairly priced also. PM me if you want his number.

bigguy69 · 02-04-2009, 10:30 PM

we will have to meet up some time in asheville

LuckyHenriksen · 02-04-2009, 11:27 PM

Looks nice, but I like my big tips

sameyrasmea72 · 02-05-2009, 02:39 AM

Nice!!! I am fixin to get mine done. About how much should I expect to get set back for something simular?

72BlckButy · 02-05-2009, 07:31 AM

Looks good!

Security guy · 02-05-2009, 01:27 PM

bigguy69, yes, we'll meet up sometime. We've got a local show on april 11 in weaverville. Usually only a few cars but a good networking thing. Usually meet alot of car guys and everyone does the trading around thing. Sameyrasmea 72, this cost me $325. The flowmasters would of run close to $400 and i could of got cherry bombs for $250??. I checked a few shops and this seemed to be the going rate for this area. I like to support the 'little guys' rather than the big name muffler shops around. This guy took the extra effort to make it what i wanted.

JAKES 68GMC · 02-05-2009, 05:56 PM

Looks great, I love how the exhaust exits, kinda reminds me of a late 70's Pontiac Trans Am.

How do these mufflers sound? Do they drone any?
