looking for a new performance muffler
i have a 1995 c/k 1500 heavy half ton and i have a aftermarket AREO muffler on it but it is toast it rattles all the time and plus id like to get something that is a lil loader and has a nicer sound it is a offcenter inlet and a center outlet 2 3/4 inch tubing. any ideas?

Re: looking for a new performance muffler
This is a few days old...but I'd figure I'd chime in.
Stay away from Flowmaster...they do sound nice I admit but the drone they produce is horrible. I think a Dynomax bullet (It may externally look like a glasspack, but a glasspack has a louvered core while the Dynmax Bullet has a perforated core like Magnaflow) or a Magnaflow muffler of your choice might be good for you. I assume you have a 350? This is the Bullet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2VaxCj3SYw Magnaflow XL3 (a relatively newly developed muffler) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckwTnKvGbbA Regular Magnflow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC4EKh4_XP8 The bigger the muffler, the more tame/quieter it will be.The shorter, the louder. I have a 14" case SI/SO Magnaflow on my V6 and it's relatively quiet at idle but when you get on it, it is a little loud but not too bad. Most prefer a 18" or 22" case though.

Re: looking for a new performance muffler
Do you want it quiet or do you want to hear the engine roar?
