Any tips on exhaust would be greatly appreciated. I am old school and love the sound of a motor. My stock system is obviously not working for me.

I want it loud when I get on it but would like to hear my friends or the stereo when going down the highway.

I'm temped to remove the muffler and put in a straight pipe and rely on the cats and resonator to mellow things out.

Any thoughts? Has anyone done this? Thanks all in advance for your help and suggestions!

2012 Yukon denali w/flowmaster 40 series and last resonator deleted, this is parked the revs are factory limited to about 3500 unless your in drive so it is what it is, I have a corsa muffler sitting here that i am going to put on and see how it sounds. the flowmaster is perfectly fine for still having a conversation

Thanks for the video. Sounds pretty nice. I had a flowmaster 40 on my 5.7 Silverado for years and it was perfect. I like the sound of yours but it still seems a little restricted.

The 40 series is a 2 chamber a singe chamber would be a tiny bit louder I have a single chamber on my Silverado because there is no rear compartment to get droned out, the corsa I picked up is 3.5" straight thru but is a different design with packing material hopefully it's not too loud

I will leave my 2 bits here...

My '08 Burb with 5.3L a Jones performance JFP 300 and the factory resonator still in place to kill any drone.

Cold start...

Warmed up and revving...

I'm not sure if they make one with 3.5" inlet/outlet for the 6.2L though.

Well my 2 cents, I put a FLomaster on my 5.3 in the Hoe and removed the Resonator and it is just right. However, I put a Flowmaster on my 6.0 in my 04 EXT and OMG!!! it was too effin loud. I had also removed my Cats and resonator I had to go back with the Magnaflow 2 in 2 out 3.0 inch .. Now it sounds awesome!!!! I really love the growl of that 6.0 and man it runs like a scalded monkey!!!!! Another plus is that I am getting 1.5-2.0 miles per gallon increase. I know it does not sound like much but it really does make a difference. !!

I had a Magnaflow on my '03 and it sounds great.
I had the GM Performance exhaust (Corsa or Borla,,, can't remember which it was) on my '07 and it also sounded great.

I had Magnaflow on my Silverado 5.7 and loved the sound of it. I just don't want to be stuck with the same volume because it would make travel a little miserable on the highway. We used to just take my wife's car when it was a long road trip. Sometimes we would take my truck if I wanted just music and no conversation. :favorites37:

There are many different size Magnaflow mufflers, smaller = louder; larger = quieter. Pick a moderate size one and enjoy.

how much do you care about the environment? :lol:

sound for me was just about right after longtubes/ypipe with all the cats removed, and stock muffler/resonator in place
my stock muffler started "crackling/rattling" at a few certain rpm though like something came loose in it after a few thousand miles so i just redid it all from the headers/ypipe back

That's why was pretty much joking but said I would just delete the muffler. Not at all what I'm going for but these LS3 6.2 that I see everyone on TV like Kindig that always puts a custom tone on it and they start it from open headers. Oh boy, music to my ears (probably why I'm half deaf, from all the Alice Cooper/Ozzy Osborn/ Def leopard, Black sabbath to name a few, live concerts I used to attend in the 70's. Back to the issue for me though is it WILL be the new family road trip warrior. It just needs to mellow out when on cruise control on the highway at a nice mellow 75-80 mpg. Has anyone put Kindigs cut outs on a setup like mine? (2012 Yukon Denali 6.2 LS3) With a super charger I might add in the future. 1st hings first though. Exhaust System, Black Bear tune, then the super charger eventually.
