Inspection time!!!! Exhaust work!!!

truck needs inspected b4 the end of the year... and i just developed a small exhaust... its behind the muffler... and is a cheap replacement... but i dont wanna replace... this is just an excuse to upgrade... anyone know how good the aftermarket performance kits like the one gibson offers are worth it?!?! i dont wanna blow 500$ to have my truck soundin like a civic!!!


any persoanl preferences

you don't nessesarly need a cat back for good performance. gibson is a good system and doesn't make your tuck sound like a ricer but its just not worth the cost. just get a good flowing muffler like a dynomax, ravin, vortex, or flow pro.

How big is the hole? I wonder if that Mend a Muffler stuff would work. I don't know if the inspection station would have any reason to fail it (legality.) I never used it but I might have to try it for my car inspection next month.

if im fixing it im doing it right... no mend a muffler here!!! would those performance mufflers give me a better sound... or would cat back sound better than just the muffler change?i wanna slight growl!

dynomax and gibson will give u a nice growl but not too loud were as a ravin Z55, flow pro, vortex, or flowmaster will be a louder, aggressive sound. the bigger pipe has really no effect on the sound and is not really nessesary for nice performance gains. you will need some pipe to make up for the difference in muffler size (most aftermarket mufflers will be about half the size of the stock one).

useful info bro!!! thanx a lot... now i know what to look for! but i cant find any info on the Ravin exhaust... never even heard of it until lookin just now... who sells it?

Im running a magnaflow canister with stock pipes and it sounds almost stock at idle and normal cruising speeds but get on it and it can roar

useful info bro!!! thanx a lot... now i know what to look for! but i cant find any info on the Ravin exhaust... never even heard of it until lookin just now... who sells it?
midas used to sell it. they are not made anymore but vortex took over the design. u might be able to find a ravin on ebay but i never had any luck.

Maremont makes the Vortex now.
