As the title says i'm not pleased with the exaust tone. startup and below 3500 is SWEEEET(nice and deep) but once it gets over 3500 it sounds really flappy, it reminds me of 2 inch truedual straight pipe. I REALLY DON'T LIKE IT AT ALL!!
I was wondering if this was because I have a 12inch straight through Magnaflow? Would a good ol Flowmaster 50series fix it or is that just the sound you get with LT's and an ORY?
Thanx for all opinions in advance!
ya i did the same as you ,hate it .i ended up installing dynomax bullets at the end of my pipes and i did the trick.nice and deep.try it youle be happy.
Flowmaster super 40 dude i love tha sound
flowmaster is restrictive and cost you power

one a flowmaster isnt as bad a ppl think. its a chamberd muffler so it will hold back some power on a turbo vehicle
now NA the 2hp difference isnt noticable not to mention thee are many different types of flowmasters. Flowmaster losing you power is an urban legend
any straight thru muffler is going to be raspier then a chamblerd muffler its the nature of the beast. one has packing or holes to muffel sound and other has deflections.
you have a stock ompression, stock cam, stock rpm range, 4.8 with LTs and a straight thru muffler how did you actually think it would sound?
Yep....turbo engines might benefit from a straight through but an N/A will usually not "lose" power from a Flowmaster.
My friend has the same mods as me in a rcsb 5.3 but with a Flow. I think i'm gonna drive it tomorrow and see if I like it better.
again yoru speaking on a 5.3 not a 4.8 and he has a chamber'd muffler not a straight thru resonator
heres is my stock truck with super 40 out the side of truck

Thanx for the vids!
Is there a diff in sound between 4.8's and 5.3's?
The 06 4.8 w/ true duals and 40's flows sounded better than any 5.3 around here but most of them are either stock or striaght piped. I dont care if flows lost 20 hp i'd still have them "gotta love that sound".
yeah displacement. it will make a world of difference in the sound of a motor.Quote:

each motor has it own sound
I have a dual in dual out 50 series flowmaster on my truck its true duals with gutted out cats. I like mine cause its kinda quite but if u want a good sound that someone will hear u coming go with true dual regular 40s. My friend had a stock 4.8 with true dual 40s with no cats and it sounded really good!!! Everyone around here loved it!
Super 44's have my vote... That's some pure audio sex.
I love my super 44 with my pacesetter header.
Here is my sound clip, but I have a 5.3. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/pics-...aust-clip.html
hey 06 4.8 can you get a vid up, I wanna hear how they sound.
I had the same problem, but I put on a 50 series 3 chamber last weekend, (while everyone was havin fun at SAR) and it sounds alot better. No Rasp at all.
Yeah ROBT34 I will get a vid up.
Thanx warlock.
