Cat back exhaust system?

[Badmunky]

Ok so we just screwed up the exhaust on the wife's Yukon.
Was trying to pull a friend out of the ditch and ended up in the ditch on the other side of the road do to ice and my spotter being an incompetent moron.

Long story short we crushed the back of the muffler (by shoving the outlet pipe in to it) and the resonator when the resonator hung up on a stump as I slid in to the ditch.

Lucky for me that's all that happened.

She wants a dual exhaust the exits out the back and is not to loud.
Would like a bump in power, and some thing that will last a good long time as well.
Her last truck had a flowmaster system on it. And I'm looking at getting one for the Yukon as an option.
Just want to see what you guys recommend, and have had good luck with.

Thanks guys!

No one has any info?
I had the cut the tail pipe off.
So right now the exhaust ends at the back of the stock muffler.
Took to a shop and had them weld it up and put a turn down on it for now.

Looking at the Gibson 5569 as an option as well.
Its hard to tell what they sound like from watching YouTube videos though. Some people suck at making videos, and others use crappy cameras that mess the sound all up.

Need to get this ordered in the next few weeks.
We are taking a trip soon and I want to have the new exhaust on before we leave.

Thanks.

I ran the gibson dual sport cat back on my tahoe for around 3 years. I thought it was a great exhaust. It was mellow, just slightly louder than stock and had no drone. If your looking for something deep sounding, like a flowmaster, then you wouldn't be happy with the gibson.

I have since changed to a Corsa sport exhaust, and that by far has been my favorite sounding exhaust for the gm trucks. There's no drone, sounds nearly as quiet as stock on the highway, but gets loud when you get into the pedal.

+1 on the CORSA Sport...even though mine is on a NBS-its the best sounding aftermarket exhaust I've ever purchased.

x2 corsa sport have one on my 2004 z71 Tahoe, soft rumble sound.

Wife shot the Corsa system down.
She really liked the dual outlet tip.
But said it looked stupid to only have it on the one side.

So it has to be a dual exhaust system.
Though now she wants those duel tips on it. LOL.

Any other suggestions?

Get rid of wife.

 

[Badmunky]

LOL.

Yeah not going to happen.

I do like the Corsa my self. But it's her truck so she gets what she wants. And the Corsa is out.

Get rid of wife.

That's classic, haha.


Badmunky,

Is that shop capable of bending you up a new system? If so, tell them what you want and have them do it.

I like the Corsa but prefer the Caddy dual set up, that's purdy.

 

[JennaBear]

There are other exit types for the Corsas.

 

[flappingeagle]

How about these?

No they are not. And the only shop near me that can wants like 800 to make it, and they say I have to remove the spare tire or they will not do it. Screw that.

She is in love with the Caddys dual exhaust system!!!!!!! But the bumper is so fricking expensive!

So I'm looking for something like the Caddy system that will clear the stock bumper. And Flowmaster and Gibson is all I can find.

They are all singe side exit. She hates that look.

How about these?

Hell no! LOL She would shoot me! LOL.

I found a good used stock system that I bout for 50 bucks that going on for now. (Sick of the broken one, sounds like crap and bangs on the floor now.)

But she still wants me to put a nice sounding dual exhaust on it as soon as I can.
Just have decide on one she will like.

 

[Badmunky]

Looks like I will be ordering the Flowmaster system in about a month.
Have some other things that I need to get done right now and the used stock system I bout is on now.

I have my duals going out both sides in the rear corners. they are nice sounding and have next to no noise in the cab. I run 2 Magnaflows side by side and then out the tail pipes. I also run a narrow crossover pipe before the mufflers, and then forward to a split Y pipe. It sounds so nice when it's up in the RPM and mix in some of the sound from the CIA and then you have reached perfection.......at least in my mind anyhow.

The Flowmaster #817342 is in Stainless and has real nice tail pipe placement.
" " " " " #17342 is in Aluminized steel and has the same tail pipes.

I tried to buy just the tail pipes to replace mine, but they wont sell them separately from the kit.

 

[Badmunky]

Yeah I think I will be ordering the SS system and then not installing the last section of the tail pipes. Wife wants the exhaust to exit out the back. Not the sides. She also wants different tips then the Flowmaster system comes with so I don't think I will be using them ether.

Might put the parts I don't use up for sale after I have every thing finished. It will be a month or maybe even 2 before I get this done.
Have to get some other stuff done on it, and I have to get the motor and trans back in our trail rig soon as well.

So many things to do. So little time.
