Finally got my exhaust hooked back up to the 4.8. Its a NON acordian style y pipe into 2.5 pipe to a flow master 40 single in duel out with turndowns. Thing sounds almost stock! I don't like it. Needs something louder. Any ideas?

I'm using this exhaust, Flowmaster 17392, with this y-pipe with cats, Flowmaster 2010019 - Flowmaster Direct-Fit Catalytic Converters
It sounds great. This is on a 5.3 in a 1992 short wheel base single cab. It is all designed for 2000-2006 truck. It all fit fine besides having to make hangers. My truck is lifted though. The y-pipe does hang a bit lower than the stock 92 pipe did.
I loved the sound of the dumped manifolds but hated the back firing. I'm leaning twords son super 10's and some cut outs. Or bullet race muffler. I think I lost a little top end too.
bullets....
Like Tumbler in "Gone in 60" I'll drive anything with wheels or without

What do all the mustangs and camaros run? I love the sound of 'em. They don't have the rumbly truck sound. Its more of a brr instead of grr lol. The truck ruble is starting to get old. Every tom dick n hairy has flow masters on there truck. Even the 4 and 6 bangers. So its looking more like some bullets or something of the worn out path.
mustangs sound the way they do because of the engine design. not the exhaust... I had flowmasters on my mustang and it sounded totally different..

Wonder what some straight pipe with a small resonator would send like, or mabey a high flow cat. Something to get rid of the back fire. Sounds like some experimental days ahead.
Mangalore, Borland, or spintech is that is really ran around here. Performance over bologna flapping.
