Try aeroturbine 3535XL...or 4040XL...whatever size you are running, they make them in the diameter you'll need. This has a resonator in it. If need be can always add an external on near the tailpipe too.
Love the maggies at WOT and smooth mellow at cruise sounds nice and sneaky at idle on the throttle 2011 4.8 Silverado sounds nice exit down past rear bumper no resonance. Maggies will get louder when broke in. Used to like loud all the time when younger now older like sleepers look and sound stock but when the green light pops the BS Stops.
LT, bruh hear me out...on my 06 silverado 5.3 I welded a true dual 2.5" dual X pipe equal length straight pipe exhaust with bullet converters and I freakin love it!!! The cold start is amazing, has that vette rev sound and is not ignorantly loud by any means under normal conditions. You have to listen for it on the interstate at 2500 rpm at 75mph. It's and extended cab and the exhaust runs straight out the back like a raptor. I'm build a chevy version of a raptor because I can and I can't afford one, nor am I a ford guy. So I'm building a chevy raptor suspension and all and an 8.1 2005 suburban 4x4 2500 lowered tow vehicle for my 30' scarab. Thank you for the inspiration!!
The build is great appreciate the content. It is awesome. The more power you make the badder it will sound. No need for obnoxiously loud vehicles though. Save it for the strip
I held off buying that exhaust hangar removal tool for years thinking it wasn't worth it and what a mistake that was. That tool is so awesome when you remove and reinstall exhaust systems over and over, it's one of my favorite seldom used tools now. Its so cool to see you get to spend the time necessary to make a truck the way you want and not just deal with it the way it was because of time constraints or it was a sponsored part.
I think it sounds like almost exactly what you were shooting for. A younger version of me would be laughing but me right now, I think I'm on your side here
Lol I love alternating and having various different setups, some people may think you're crazy but you know what the perfect sound is, I finally found mine so I know what it's like!
Much better! Sounds less like every challenger and charger on the road. I struggled to get my 8.1 burb to the sound level I wanted. I ran dual resonators, a magnaflow dual 3” in dial 3” out with the internal x pipe, merged them into a single 4” to go over the axle then added a vibrant 4” muffler to a turn down. It is still a little loud but the tone is great. This was also after 3 iterations.
I bought a 3500 with an 8.1 this fall. I thought about swapping out the stock exhaust but I am afraid that it will just be too loud so I am just going to keep it stock. I can go for a ride in my Checker if I want to hear a louder exhaust.
A lot of people dont realize that the mufflers with sound deadening packing inside is muffled till 500 to 1000 miles then the sound deadening material shrinks down from the heat and will give the exhaust some more tone. I put the flow master FX mufflers on my 82 D150 . the internals are the dame as magnaflows and borla but half the price. I had 2 40 series flow masters but had too much drone and sounded like your original muffler exhaust going down the highway that's why I switched
LT will never have to fight one of his exhausts off his vehicles due to them rusting together…because the system was just off the week prior to change the way it sounds. 😂 Just kidding. I admire the perfectionist in you. Keep up the great content!
Back in the day the old 283 and 327 too...they had a lot different note than a 350 or 400...even cams sound different in those...keep chasing you find what your looking for.... keep up the good work
You know your getting old when truck is never quiet enough lol. I know how u feel used to love loud exhaust don't care much about it now. You'll get it right man.
I’m glad you do a donut at the end, I hate it when people have fast cars/trucks and don’t let them eat every now and then. I would say tho to keep a wider donut going you need to flutter the throttle between half and wot. Otherwise you pivot off of the tire like you did.
@@LawrenceTolman oh for sure, I have a single short bed 99 dodge I put long tubes on and still figuring out the exhaust on that, flow master 40 series x2 for true duels out the sides in front of the rear tires is what I have lol
Imo the x and y is a huge factor in redundancy the y is giving you all performance benefits and the x contributes to droan sound. I think your just showing off with your welding skills. Keep on doing what you do and thanks for sharing. Definitely sounds better not like cherry bombs anymore and hell yeah let the smoke out of them tires!
One of the signs I think of getting older I think is liking things a little quieter, I would take the trade off of a less aggressive sounding idle than normal driving annoyance. I went a similar route years ago coming from a x-pipe and dual 3” magnaflow with 3” tailpipes that dropped inside the factory hitch, that was with 1.75 pacesetter headers and no cats. Now I run 1 7/8 kooks headers still with no cats to a 2500hd factory muffler back. My truck is a 1/2 ton crew cab 5’ 8” box 2006, a 2500hd ext cab 6.5ft box 6.0L exhaust fit right into the same hangars! It’s quiet unless my foot is in it and has a distinct idle. I didn’t mention yet but it is a bolt-on 6.0L LQ9 truck
My personal favorite muffler on any LS is the borla. I did a 6.2l swap into my 09 avalanche and a full 3" pipe kit. I deleted my cats also since there is no emissions test here in Alberta. The borla is also an exhaust most people don't use and I've had many comments on the uniqueness of my trucks sound. Just my two bits. Love your builds BTW.
Honestly I would have went with The borla xr1 instead of the magnaflow. Very similar but the xr1 has zero drone. Could probably even get rid of the second magnaflow and it would give you your idol sound back with running a single xr1. Definitely recommend looking into the xr1s.
I wouldn't change it ...that sounds great .....I had do same thing to my 88 Ford ranger .... First time it sounded like urs ...I changed it to resonators. Like u just did .n worked well ....
Had a 95 Roadmaster wagon with the LT1, and installed mid length headers, magnaflow x-pipe, and just two of the small resonators to 3" tips behind the wheels. SOUNDED AWESOME with the unique vette tone. Maybe you could try with and without the muffler, or go full dual exhaust with just the two resonators in a future test video
Oh man! I miss those Roadmasters! I would LOVE to find one of those or a Caddy Fleetwood in nice shape with relatively low miles. I’d of course have to mess around with the exhaust a little and make just a few little cosmetic and performance mods to make it unique but nothing crazy, gaudy or over the top.
Love the doughnuts to finish the video right next to a neighborhood, you should add an electronic cut out in front of second muffler for rowdy mode, I think it sounds fantastic but it did tone it down quite a bit, I've always loved the magnaflow product
You should change your channel to the, lt changes his exhaust again channel. The magna flows sound good. They have that sleeper sound. I liked the other exhaust, it announced that you were coming. It is hard to tell which is best from the speaker on my phone. Great video
Oh, I wish you had chosen to do a Helmholtz resonator for the Flowmaster to eliminate drone. Anyway, congrats for finally finishing the exhaust topic :)
I've found drone to be a result of unequal cat back segments. For instance the 8.1l has the driverside jump over to the passenger side, adding some 2/3 feet of tube. This will cause the tubes themselves to vibrate on different frequencies, like to guitar stings oscillating when almost in tune. The fix being to make them equal eg; tune them. Just measure header flange back, and make them the same length by adding or removing some same diameter segments as needed...like tuning any other thing lol.
what do you guys think of the idle? I kinda liked the flowmaster because it was a little unique, although this system is SOOO much better.
What if you kept the flow master and used the smaller magnaflow as a resonator. Also I would ditch the x pipe.
@@ericvortecmax exactly what I'm thinking.
Love the new setup
Cut outs sound good at idle
Try aeroturbine 3535XL...or 4040XL...whatever size you are running, they make them in the diameter you'll need. This has a resonator in it. If need be can always add an external on near the tailpipe too.
Love the maggies at WOT and smooth mellow at cruise sounds nice and sneaky at idle on the throttle 2011 4.8 Silverado sounds nice exit down past rear bumper no resonance. Maggies will get louder when broke in. Used to like loud all the time when younger now older like sleepers look and sound stock but when the green light pops the BS Stops.
I would maybe look into a Corsa.
Quiet idle, cruise, but the cold starts and full throttle wake the dead.
No drone at all. It's crazy
I use dynomax ultra flow mufflers. Quiet under low load, but really loud under full throttle. ZERO drone during any and all driving conditions
resonators tend to work better the closer they are to the downpipe/manifolds
LT, bruh hear me out...on my 06 silverado 5.3 I welded a true dual 2.5" dual X pipe equal length straight pipe exhaust with bullet converters and I freakin love it!!!

Have you ever heard the phrase "Living the Dream"? All the knowledge and skill to build what you want all at home. "I'm tryna be like you, mah boy" 🤘
I do thank my lucky stars I'm able to work from home and build fun stuff like this. living the dream for sure. thanks for watching!
Also the take off from the outside is phenomenal
Man tha truck sound good and tha take off screaming tire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nothing worse the a loud slow vehicle.
haha.... agreed. spot on for this truck, loud and slow
The build is great appreciate the content. It is awesome. The more power you make the badder it will sound. No need for obnoxiously loud vehicles though. Save it for the strip

Truck definitely sounds much better, and wow - that mountain view at the end....spectacular!
it is pretty around here for sure
That sounds so much better! I don’t see how people can stand driving around all of the time with something like the old system. Good choice.
23:13 love this suit
Keep trying the exhaust I’ll keep watching!!
And your sound exterior is perfect
Sounds awesome..doesn't sound like "any other truck ".. it's badass...🏁
This new setup is awesome. Sounds perfect
Sounds perfect, imo. Best yet by far.
I think it sounds like almost exactly what you were shooting for. A younger version of me would be laughing but me right now, I think I'm on your side here
You got rid of the “brapping”. Classy now.
Lol I love alternating and having various different setups, some people may think you're crazy but you know what the perfect sound is, I finally found mine so I know what it's like!
Sounds great LT!!! I used to do that with my 1978 C10 with a 1972 full bolt money 350 in it bored over 30 over 355 tons of fun with that truck
Sounds much better!
The new exhaust sounds much better. Smooth deep growl.
Sounds perfect LT! 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thumbs up. I’m a big fan of the Flowmaster 50 series. Good luck.
Love it LT .amazing work as always
lt THATS THE BEST SOUNDING EXHAUST IVE HEARD IN A WHILE
I like the shenanigans at the end !
haha... thanks! it was fun
9:26 i like your exhaust fabricating videos because ive done similar with messing about with different resonators and mufflers etc on my focus st
LOVE THE Donuts!!!
I finally got it to do one lol... normally the G80 unlocks and only one wheel spins
I like it! It sounds so much smoother.
New set up sounds way better 👍
Nice to see you rock cleets sweater, love the content, love ugly truck can't wait for the motor build. Keep up the content
Sounds much better.
That exhaust sounds really awesome great job amazing channel
new one sounds great!
Ok this has to be the best one yet. Drone on the other has got to make ya crazy. Nice work LT.
And I really like the new sound!
That is the perfect sound
Haha dang you weren't kidding. You are super particular with exhaust.
Sounds way better!
Love the new setup
Sounds good all the way over in Hawaii. ALOHA LT 🤙🏼

Sounds good! I added another muffler to my truck and got a similar sound! Keep up the great work!!
Sounds lime you finally got it right
Looking and sounding good!!!!
It sounds so much better.
Sounds better
👍🏻⭐👨🔧💯✔
Awesome setup sounds great
Thanks!
Like how it sounds now. Calm at driving speeds and gets aggressive when getting on the gas. 🤘🏻
Sounds great!
I didn’t know you were a movie star 😂 was surprised when I saw you on the tv today
haha... didn't know they were still doing reruns of those episodes
Sounds very good 👍
I think it has the perfect sound.
sounds a billion times better

Sounds just fine to me
Love this stuff

Sounds really good 👍
I love magnaflow 🥰
Back in the day the old 283 and 327 too...they had a lot different note than a 350 or 400...even cams sound different in those...keep chasing you find what your looking for.... keep up the good work
It sounds great I prefer this new setup.
Ahh much betterer!
thanks! i think so
Love your content LT, hope one day you could come out to Vegas for some Drag days
sounds cool dude

In the 18th time's a charm video, the stock exhaust goes back on. lol.
lol... if the stock exhaust would flow as much as a set of 4" pipes I'd put it on lol
Sounds good... Alot like a magnaflo commercial in the drive by

Sounds good
My go to muffler is the Flowmaster Pro Laminar. Technically a straight through with two conical baffles that direct gasses to cut rasp and drone.
Imo I loved the sound of the first system
Sounds like a magnaflow like everyone has bit hey its still cool
i guess there's a reason why everyone does have em. they just plain work.
Digging the Cleetus merch you’re rocking, would love to see you at the Freedom Factory in a race sometime.
How about dyno matting the whole inside of the truck?
that would for sure help, and if/when I do some work on the interior I will add it for sure.
Sounds ok but definitely liked the first set up
I like the sound you have now. Hopefully I'll be able to get my BMW to sound similar.
You should change your channel to the, lt changes his exhaust again channel. The magna flows sound good. They have that sleeper sound. I liked the other exhaust, it announced that you were coming. It is hard to tell which is best from the speaker on my phone. Great video
seems like I spend more time on exhaust than anything lol... you're not wrong
I have the old school 2 chamber Flowmaster on My Mustang. Only changed the muffler, all factory with cats. Just enough sound!
Oh, I wish you had chosen to do a Helmholtz resonator for the Flowmaster to eliminate drone. Anyway, congrats for finally finishing the exhaust topic :)
Still sounds really good. It's just lost a little of the crackle it had before. Nice donuts!
New set up is much better
Love it going to use this recipe
No other trucks have that Chevy chopping sound. I cut the pipes after my cats in my avalanche and just left it like that. Free flow it sounded good.
I'm like you, I like this sound more. Nice bass sound at idle
