Straight piped?

[tyler1bo]

Has anyone ever thought about cutting their mufflers off? I've pondered this many times as I have buddies running straights in their NNBS 1500's w/ 5.3l's. I've never heard a 6.2L with straights..don't get me wrong I adore the sound my truck makes, but after hearing them with straights it makes me wonder what mine would be like. Any input would be great!

some guys have done it with camaros and vettes....dont do it....sounds nasty at high RPM and speeds. do you have dual exhaust or the stock single?
i have the stock duals on mine and it sounds great. maybe throw some long tube headers on...just dont go strait pipes.
my buddy just put a flowmaster muffler on his denali and it sounds pretty bad ass at full gas.

I thought about changing the headers, maybe dynatech..idk I was just curious as to what it would sound like. And I have the cords catback system, single exit.

youll never go wrong with a good set of headers. especially on the 6.2...it sounds great. OBX systems are cheap and sound good. not too loud but enough to notice it. my dad has them on his vette.

Okay I'll look into that..like I said I love my exhaust note, I just think sometimes it could be a little louder, and God knows I have the engine to produce it. It would only cost about 30 bucks to remove my muffler, but I've never heard it in person. I've seen one '08 that had a ZO6 cam in it and dynatech headers, I bet that thing is rowwwdy..

6.0L with Dynatech long tube headers, no cats, no muffler. To say it's aggressive would be an understatement. Absolutely love the sound.

I would LOVE to hear a sound clip or Youtube clip of it! How do you like your dynatech's?

I will try to get some time and post a sound clip. The dynatechs are a quality product. My custom exhaust shop was very impressed as well. Very pleased with the performance and weight savings of my set up. One would be surpised how much the stock muffler weighs. I have the dynatechs flowing into straight pipes, a custom Y-Pipe, then straight pipe again all in the stock configuration. My undercarriage is coated with high temp paint and sound deadening, but even before that the sound inside wasn't bad at all IMO. I choose this set up mainly for low end tq and clearance for off roading here in Moab.

Okay let me know if you make a sound clip or video! I bet it sounds amazing.

im running dual flowmaster tens and love them, i have the 6.0 and it is almost as loud as some people with trucks and straight pipes. it sounds mean. i would bet a 6.2 with header and no muffler would sound bad as*, and be hell loud. i wouldnt remove cats it gives the exhaust a popping sound i really dont like
