Exhaust & Intake

I have a 2000 Silverado Ext. Shortbed 4.8 V8. I wanted to get a nice dual exhause cat back system for my truck. I want something that sounds mean but not too nasty. The two brands that interested me were Gibson and Boral. Any Suggestions? I was also going to get a K&N FIPK intake. How much of a change will I notice in Accelleration with these two new additions to my truck?

the intake shoud be quite abit. I just pulled the maf screen on mine with stock intake and k&n drop in and it helped alot so the fipk shoud be impressive. Not as sure about cat back as mine was already installed so I can't really tell you about improvement but I'm sure it helped.

K&N air filter and Flowmaster 40 series muffler with 3 1/2" tips. You can't go wrong with that combo.

I was wondering if anyone has a Gibson extreme dual exhaust and if they like it.

to go with your K&n intake i would recommend the Flowmaster Super 40. i got mine on my truck about a week ago, and its nice... it gets you more horses and torque yet it sounds a lot smoother than the original 40 series. you really should look into it...

I am running A K&N FIPK2 with the screen removed from my MAF and Cat-Back 20series flowmaster w/dual side exit 3 1/2 inch Stainless tips, overall I am satisfied with the sound and performance, MY truck sounds sweet und

MY truck sounds sweet under acceleration but not too obnoxious. My favorite has to be the classic flowmaster rumble. =)
