Exhaust question

Im thinking of getting a new muffler for my 4.8 Silvy. I dont want to spend much money though. I see on Ebay there is Flowmaster 40 series mufflers for like $45. But do I need the entire cat back system, or just the muffler. I just want it to sound cool, Im not really interested in getting big HP gains or anything like that. Is it worth just getting a muffler or and i wasting my time? Also is there any other mufflers worth looking at?

Re: Exhaust question

You can just get the muffler...it won't sound as good as getting the whole catback system, but it should work just fine.

Re: Exhaust question

What about sizes of inlet/outlet holes and offsets etc. How do I know which one that I need?

Re: Exhaust question

im not sure if its different on a 4.8 but on a 5.3 youd need a center 3" inlet and a center 2.5" outlet and probly some extra piping due to the smaller size of a flowmaster

Re: Exhaust question

go on ebay and check out this setup. cheaper than a catback, but you will need a cutoff tool and a friend to help you. but i got one of these and it sounds good and it only took us about 2 maybe 3 hours.

Re: Exhaust question

Do yourself a favor and do it once correctly, get STAINLESS STEEL. Aluminized will rust within a year and you will do it again. Just look at the other posts. My truck had 40k and the aluminized were rusted so bad the guts fell out of the 40 series muffler. I bought a stainless Bosal and could not be happier. Just my
