Black Widow muffler

[Erik G]

I'll post videos when I can figure it out

Added a black widow venom 250 yesterday. Very happy with it. I left the resonator and factory GMC tip for now, I like the way it looks and I was nervous about it being too loud

Anyways, it is exactly what they advertise. All tone and no drone. It's got some bark on cold start, around town you can hear it leaving a stop light and the idle is nice. Zero drone on the freeway - you really have to get on it to even hear it.

I know a lot of you like magnaflow but I like to be different. They seemed too quiet to me. I haven't seen or heard of any tahoe or yukon with a black widow. Feels like it freed up some ponys but what do I know...

I have an updated superchips tune running 87 power and 4cyl delete, AEM drop in. Still waiting on my airaid jr - should be here this week but it was promised last week.

I couldn't figure out how to add captions yet but here you go

First frame is stock stock coldish start up.

Second frame is Black Widow warmish start up

Third is coldish revs.

Last is 65 on the freeway, and then punching it

So is your exhaust stock except for the muffler? It sounds good!

 

[Erik G]

Yep - muffler only

I would like the corsa but that's a lot of money. This has a good crisp bark, and I have no freeway drone at all. I am pleasantly surprised

Any part numbers for the muffler? Sounds good!

It's a venom 250 - not the pro super polished one.

Tail lights are G3/G4 I got used from someone here. Best first upgrade ever

Which did you use? Side/center or center/center? My fiance won't be home until later for me to look at it. I finally found the sound I've been looking for. Thanks for posting!

Sounds nice...have to listen again on my desktop PC with good speakers vs this laptop....

the 250 side/center. you will notice that they have different part numbers but the non-pro version is reversible, I asked, they are Left and Right on their website only so the logo is facing different ways

I suggest listening with good headphones, I think that's the most accurate as to actual sound

I did take a new video this weekend, but there is some background AC noise in my parking garage. Let me edit it and post it anyways. I'll try again later

 

[Erik G]

Ok here it is

Again, it's a 5.3 and still has the stock resonator and tip for now. I did add the airaid Jr. and drop in dry filter. Fresh spark plugs, oil, and cleaned FI and MAF

This is a cold start - sat overnight and this is the next afternoon

Sucks about the AC noise in the background. I'll try again

That sounds very good.

I was looking at those, but need a 3.5" and they do not make a 3.5", so I went with the Flowmaster Big Block 50 Series and left the rest of the exhaust system stock. So it is 3.5" from the exhaust manifold all the way to the end.

Has a good sound and adequate noise when you get on it PLUS no drone cruising at 70-80..

 

[OHSIXX]

Damn that does sound nice! ...this time I listened to it on my home PC lol.....

 

[Erik G]

Just to be clear they do offer a 3.5 now

And if you have any questions feel free to ask me or email black widow, I was pleasantly surprised that the owner himself emailed me back same day.

I would definitely spend some time listening on YouTube as well, but I only remember one other GM truck

6.2 or 5.3?

 

[Erik G]

5.3 you need 3inch

6.2 I would use their 3.5

I have a 5.3 so that's what you are hearing in this post

The Flowmaster went on my 09 Tahoe LTZ with the L9H 6.2 with a Nelson Tune, AirRaid MIT and now free flow exhaust.. Goes pretty good..

No one makes a cat back for it in 3.5 since there were so few made, but I am happy with the sound I have.. they don't show a 3.5" with R&L Offset on their website so I didn't bother. The Flowmaster fit right in with no modifications..

After 30 years of open headers on drag cars, I don't like it too loud in my "Geezer Hot Rod"

I ran a Flowmaster on my 5.3 suburban and it droned so bad I couldn't drive more than 20 miles lol my fiance would kill me if her denali had a drone. She wants the sound just no drone. I just can't decide which way to go. The MagnaFlows just don't sound quite like I want.
