i put on a magnaflow a couple weeks ago and love it. I just got the muffler and left the rear resonator on cause 1. havent found any tips i like and 2. dont know if i want more sound. For $100 installed it just sounds good, can hear it at start up and little rumble while its idling, when you give it some gas - perfect sound, then once you hit your speed cant really hear anything...

Best bang for the buck!

Then I got a Dual walled tip to replace it.

Mine is better than yours! and all the others suck! LOL! :boxing::roflsquared:

It's all a matter of what you have access to locally and how YOU prefer the truck to sound...or in this case how your wife want's it to sound.

I went with the volant super tips and noticed just a very slight difference in sound. It was for the denalli and didn't turn out well on our truck since we have a Tahoe with the 5.3. The quality of the exhaust was good!!! I just got the wrong one shipped was all.

So the next step was to go to a custom shop. I told them pretty much what you had said. My wife drives this 90% of the time and we wanted a rumble to it, no interior drone while cruising at highway speeds, but wanted it known when you jumped on it. I had a choice between Magnaflow and Flowmaster. They put the flowmaster on 1st and let me here the sound. I was sold! So that's what we did. I had the 4" tip exit out on an angle.

CORSA is hand's down the best exhaust that I have owned and ran them on a couple of my past H2's. Great quality, but pricey. This kit I spent $200 and change on.

What do you all recommend? I don't want a loud ass one (my wife drives it 99% of the time). I just want one that sounds somewhat mean and low. Got any ideas?

Corsa I think is the best. The wife loves the sound to. I have it on my 2005 yukon.

Hi everyone, this is my first post and I love this forum. I just ordered the Corsa Sport Exhaust and the Volant powerCore Intake. I can't wait to get them and install it. I am a man with patience but for this I have none.
Bought the Corsa Sport for $669.75 and the Volant for $277.95. Seems like a good deal.

Where did you find the Corsa exhaust for that price? Most of the ones I've been coming across are $900+.

On a side note, those of you that are bigger gear heads than I am. What are the advantages of going with the bolt on exhausts like the Corsa Sport as opposed to going to a exhaust shop and having them weld and fabricate one for you with a muffler of your choice?

So the moral of the story is...exhausts are like a$$holes...Everybodies got one and they all sound different? I know i dont want a full cat-back system and these sound bites online suck. I guess I should head into a shop and have a couple tried out on the ride?

i dont believe there is a sound or quality difference, other than the fact that you can do it all yourself - hence the bolt on. Taking it to a shop you wont have to buy all the pieces that a bolt on comes with, they can cut out your muffler and rear resonator and weld on to there. The bold on is just one big piece (well bunch of little ones put together) but essentially you are buying parts to replace your old ones that dont need replacing, since you dont know how to weld... is this making sense, i feel like im rambling about the same stuff over and over...

point is bolt on you can do it yourself but spend more for whole kit, OR buy individual pieces and have shop weld it on <--- recommended

Thats a great set up. Now all you need is a Black Bear tune and you will be good to go.
