silencer/muffler

[Easiski]

Hello, I'm new here and live in France. I've recently bought a 2000 Yukon and it's SILENT! No V8 rumble at all, either on starting or running.
Can anyone recommend an easy swap for a silencer/muffler that at least sounds like a V8? It runs 2 pipes into one, one in and one out of the current silencer. Just awful! My V6 Astro sounded better!
I'd so appreciate advice. I don't want to be heard 1Km away (police), but I really want to hear the V8 when I start and run.
thank you.

Welcome from Florida!

Have you considered a muffler delete? You can listen to similar trucks on youtube that have done it and see if you like it.

I thought you guys had the noise police over there?, here unless you are super obnoxious they don't care
i'm sure you could import a 3 chamber flowmaster, maybe a 2. might want to check online and see what decibel they each make versus what is allowed over there.

they have strict guidlines on noise in France, .621 mile seems like a lot but I bet it's less than that, might depend on where he lives though

You mean car noise? The rioters can make as much noise as they want it seems! LOL

the problem is that there's no actual information about how loud you can be. I have a friend with a 31 Ford rod and that's REALLY loud (corvette engine), but it's not a daily driver - mine is. Also, here in the mountains the sound carries more with less ambient noise, so I'm being cautious. I had 2 cherry bombs on a Dodge dayvan and had to have them changed for registration - it still sounded like a V8 though!

My truck was imported into France brand new, so that probably accounts for the excessive silencing! It's in really brilliant condition but with 337000Kms (210600 miles). Too good to be true considering the price of 6000€ (2nd hand vehicles are really expensive here) - I'm waiting for something to go wrong!!!

Is recommend a new Flowmaster muffler (40 or 50 series) with the cancel chamber design. You'll get a nice rumble without the drone that is common on the LS motors with cheaper mufflers.

really? a 2 chamber isn't all that loud and 3 chamber is almost stock sounding
drill some holes in the one that is on it, that will liven it up lol

Flowmaster is always the way to go regardless of the delete or not. Being in France I don't think you can get away with a delete.
