Sounds great. I love this rad noise but good inside. Sooooo glad I started this topic, was tired of the flowmaster drone. Anyone done a count of people we have converted?

No idea, but add me to the list. :gr_grin:

I really like my MagnaFlow on the 05 tahoe and was looking to get another for the 10 but now I'm thinking I may go with this one even at 2x the price.

2x the price?
Very doubtful.

The MagnaFlow is only $65 vs the bw $124 so close enough.. lol. Unless I'm looking at the wrong bw price??

gotcha.

I've always been a big fan of Magnaflow; I dig the deep, smooth burble their mufflers and systems offer. But this Black Widow seems like a nice shift in tone. It sounds to me like a blend between Magnaflow and Flowmaster---kind of the best of both worlds.

I'm more or less planning to give my '08 to my younger daughter within a year or so, so I'm hesitant to make a muffler swap since she'd probably not like it. But it that wasn't the case, I'd have already installed the Black Widow Venom 250. Really good stuff.

I like your thinking @ubervic.

I've got a Flowmaster 50 and thinking about changing it out for one of these Black Widow series for a different tone. Maybe the Race Venom for the 06? Or just go with the Venom 250 that is noted on this thread so much and sounds great. Thoughts?
Thx man.

Really hard to recommend the Race Venom over the Venom 250, or vice versa----both sound great, and it's mostly a question of how ballsy you want the truck to sound. lol

I'd probably go with the Venom 250 and keep my factory resonator to start. But I'm an older family man who just appreciates a deep but muscular purr from my exhaust tone.

Fosscore · Jan 25, 2017

@ubervic

Appreciate the input. The Suburban has to pretty much stay as it is. The wife wants nothing to do with exhaust as it is her daily driver. I might just do the SLP resonator delete to make it look better at some point.

For the 06, I am kind of bored with the Flowmaster 50 and I am tempted to push the button a bit more, but don't want to be too obnoxious. I have followed this thread from the start and every application really sounds good. Maybe just switch out to the Venom 250....but the balls of the Race Venom could be cool too...

08HoeCD · Jan 25, 2017

Copy that @Fosscore
All things considered, I will probably do the SLP delete for the looks and since it won't change the tone much. Even my daughter should dig that, if in fact she inherits my '08.

Was looking at the different bw mufflers and saw the venom 300, it says it produces a deeper tone then the 250. Has anyone heard the 300 to compare the 2?

Fosscore · Jan 25, 2017

300 sounds pretty nasty on the Black Widow sound clips page. Listen here to all the different mufflers offered.

http://blackwidowexhaust.com/Listen

Scroll down the page to find GM trucks modified and unmodified sound clips as well as YouTube.

Make sure and listen to the guy with a Venom 300 and a turbo.

Drok · Jan 25, 2017

Yea that's where I heard them but was wondering on a in person compare of the 2 haha. It does sound sweet, and I do like it but is it louder or quieter then the 250. I'd guess it'd be quieter from the size, but the clip made it sound louder. Ahh choices

Fosscore · Jan 25, 2017

Yessir. Been watching this thread for a year.

Of course the Corsa pops in every now and then. Also a few guys have the Carven, but you can see the Magnaflow and Flowmaster options are not as popular as perhaps before. So many choices is right and which one to go with is proving to be challenging.

Drok · Jan 25, 2017

I love my magnaflow but if I can get a more muscle sound and no drone, heck yea. Don't really like Flowmaster. Corsa is out of my price range.

Never heard of carven.

Hey maybe I'll get the 300 to be a little different :headbang:

Fosscore · Jan 25, 2017

Not to throw this Black Widow thread sideways as it is fantastic, but good exhaust ideas and alternatives are always good.

Here is the Carven site.

Also @NeverSatisfied has the TR series on his sweet crew cab.

Can see his thread here.

Wow those carven mufflers are small they have to be loud haha..

Fosscore · Jan 27, 2017

I've been watching videos of both the Black Widow and Carven. Liking both applications. This thread is very convincing and great trucks have put them on. The Carven has a nice sound thru all applications. Might be worth considering as well. Some great sound clips on YouTube and IG.

Just another option in the decision department to confuse you even more. At least the price points are close enough that the cost is not the issue. Now just becomes preference of sounds. Aggressive or subtle, yet with some growl and let others know that a V8 is next to them or to get off their phone texting while their windows are down.....lol

Haha yea, hold on I have to roll up the window I can't hear you...

As of right now the v300 is what I'll probably get, and I'll try it with and with out the resonator then go from there.

I can't have it too loud not for state law purpose but for my older arse and wanting to hear myself think in the cab haha
