Top 4 BEST Exhaust Set Ups for Chevy 1500 5.7L (Vol.1)!

[@Jmo6570]

"That's how they all should sound" amen

[@asphaltwarrior1]

The Red Stepside sounded best imho

[@zxJC34xz]

Big Chili Rango and looked the best too 😎🔥

[@shirleyallen5178]

The red chevy stepsides always do😁

[@therealshadygaming468]

Yea

[@urmomgay6950]

Agreed

[@KsKaylor]

That’s because it didn’t have a catalytic converter. Flowmaster always sounds amazing without em.

[@suburbanfreak87]

The 40 series and super 10 sound the best in my opinion. I have a true dual exhaust; Long tubes to magnaflow cats to super 44s dumped 3in before rear axle on my 97 suburban all tucked between the frame and body of the vehicle so that it doesn't get damaged if the frame slid over some rocks.

[@kamakazedesmadre1207]

the last one as good as most of the super 10 and it's still like that the 40 but number 10 is the best.. when I hear it it gives me goosebumps

[@lilpotlilpan]

When you hear it go down the road you instantly smile! That's how it was for me anyways....

[@Blaze-ing]

I have one on my 05 tahoe 5.3 with a small cam and i love it

[@memeznfishing9916]

My pops had a 1987 1500 single cab step side when I was growing up. 3 inch lift on 37s and fully straight piped. Currently on a mission to find that truck again. You can throw all the newest trucks at the market at me but I’ll always take a straight piped 70s-90s shitbox

[@chevystuntin89]

Super 10 for the win💪🏽

[@garyweaver6985]

Nothing beets the sounds of the v8 engines especially when it’s straight piped I love it

[@tylerb8179]

Red step side was my favorite.

[@joshua.johnson]

Because of how big the stock cats are, those trucks never sound good unless you take those out.

[@obscaden6609]

completely agree, my 94 c1500 was straight piped but had the cat and sounded like crap but i gutted it and backed it up with a Flowmaster super 10 with duals out the back and its perfect

[@pepeiann]

definitely agree

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

If you pop the plug out and drain the pellets out, they flow better and sound better. Probably won't pass emissions that way though, if you live where you have to have it. They got regular, higher flowing converters in 94 I think. About 93 and older has the big pellet style cat.

[@micah2395]

OBS Caden so they sound better without cats??

[@obscaden6609]

@@micah2395 oh 100%, mine sounded like it had a big muffler on it or something, very stock sounding once i took off the Y pipe and took a long drill bit (theres videos of this) to clear the cats and put it all back on it sounded amazing, i live in michigan so we dont have to pass any inspections although it is illegal but the only way a cop would be able to tell is if he took apart my exhaust since the cat housing is still attached. ill post a before and after cats startup and revs in a few, ill tag you in a comment letting you know, or sub to my channel

[@bigbossman3987]

Straight pipes, take the muffler off leave the converters on, run the two pipes out behind each tire. I have a 1997 with a 5.7L ( 350 ) done like that, sounds great !!!

[@Fishingdad257]

Whenever you said “thats how they all should sound” that was the biggest head nod ever from me! Love it!

[@careyblake4522]

It even powerful enough, their was this guy back when I was in highschool who had this 89 Chevy and it was a low rider and the exhaust was so loud and powerful, you could hear it streets over, and it wasn't like an over powering loud, it was like a POWERFUL loud.

[@hagentaylor1503]

I have a 91 that is 3 in straight pipe to a side exit right before back tires. If you like loud and like to hear your truck definitely would recommend. Your neighbors will love you in the mornings to. Waking them up with the sweat sound of bald eagles will make there day.

[@synyster5053]

I'm running open headers on my 98 at the moment. I believe my neighbors really love me now. 😈

[@stevewoods232]

Flowmaster is the only thing for a chevy truck. My 89 C1500 is a true beast true duals, supper 44 on each pipe, and no cat. Also gotta get a cold air intake or your just doing it for the sound, more air that can come out means you can put more air in.

[@redwolfmaddox3986]

I have a 93 with an axle back exhaust and Dino max muffler I would like to upgrade to a dual out with 3.5 tips

[@charlesw1263]

my '95 Chevy Cheyenne 5.7L has the Super 44 and I luv it

[@obviousgreyman]

I know it’s the quietest but the sound quality of that magnaflow is fantastic.

[@Xxdevildoggxx]

My truck has the super tens with only one output it has the cat converters out it sounds amazing

[@hoss_13]

Nothing beats the sound of that 40 series!

[@jasonhash3172]

My man said that is how they all should sound hell yeah bro

[@OzarkGuysFishing]

I like the sound of the 40 series flowmaster. Doesn't have as much pop sound like the 10 series does.

[@chase3721]

Used to own a 5.7 and I ran a 2.5” pipes with a flow master super 10 without cats. Best sounding 5.7 I’ve ever heard and loved the exhaust note. Always got great comments on it. Try it out some time on one of your customers trucks. They’ll love it

[@bonnorbassidy8198]

My 94 Sierra has no cars and true fuel flow masters with I think like 3” tips? I’m not sure anymore. Needless to say when it had the old engine cammed and bored…. My god. I’m the snow it sounded like a nascar

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

On the pre-93 (I think) trucks, they use that big pellet style converter, which is what keeps it quiet even with no muffler. I always pop the plugs out and drain/remove the pellets, tack the plugs back in and they flow and sound much better. You probably won't pass emissions if you have it, but it'll pass a visual inspection.

[@javy2238]

Do you know how to make a 1984 k20 350 sound better?

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

@@javy2238 Depends on what it has now, but deleting the converter is my first go-to. Like I said the old bead-style converter is restrictive (a little less-so with all the beads drained out the plugs but still not good) and carbureted engines will at some point run rich and eventually clog up whatever converter you run, so I would never run a converter with a carb unless I absolutely had to for whatever reason.

[@javy2238]

@@AdmiralRustyShackleford thanks! What muffler would you recommend?

[@AdmiralRustyShackleford]

@@javy2238 Depends, do you want mild, moderate, loud, obnoxious? Personally I go for more mild with a lower performance engine and if it's a stock carbureted truck 350, it's not a powerhouse so loud won't sound too good on it. For a truck I like single exhaust for the torque and the smooth deep tone. A long glasspack can sound nice, or a chambered muffler as long as you run a full tailpipe, otherwise they tend to drone and get on your nerves.

[@Fishingdad257]

Dude we went “ohh” at the same exact time on that last one maaaaan them all sound good. Music to my ears!

[@milesbearden9946]

Onboard GoPro or something similar will help the drive off sound. During windy conditions on your phone/camera or any recording device, a quick tip is to use a a regular dish wash pad like Scotch. Just the yellow scrubber laid over the mic. It’ll remove wind noise and keep most of the sound. I love these videos,evertime I need a sound clip I find your shop! Love it!

[@ki4cye9103]

The super 10 sounds the best out of those 4. I personally am in love with my setup. I have a 95 k1500 extended cab short bed, took the converters out and im running a customized 40 series single in dual out with 3.5" angle tips turned out at an angle at each rear bed corner. The 40 series was cut in half and the rear dual outlet plate was cut off and welded back onto the front half. Basically it's the front half of a 40 series and welded the dual outlet end plate back on it. Its a little louder than I wanted but it has a really nice sound to me. I have access to a muffler shop and tried several different used mufflers before I came up with the idea to cut a 40 in half. Since then I've done a couple for friends some from front half of a 40 and some from rear half. Mt favorite is the front half of the 40 series. Oh yeah, all of them I've cut were used mufflers that were taken off for rattles due to broken baffles, I just weld them back while I'm in it.

[@KableTac]

super 10 sounds like pure shit, just like a straight pipe

[@JFROMM454]

I’d like to hear a 14” magnaflow and maybe a magnapack on the 5.7

[@Payne427]

On the 2000-07 LS 325, the super 40 sounds like heaven. Even a muffler delete sounds good. I have a 2000 silverado that I've redone and did a single side exit super 40 on and it can't get any better in my opinion.

[@dustinwegner853]

@@Payne427 I agree. Mine is a 2013. My friend had a sierra with dual straight pipes. Thag thing was maybe a little too loud, it needed some glasspacks or 10 series to take some of the bite out of it.

[@xLSU0408x]

I had a 1993 Cheyenne and then a 1997 Cheyenne, both were straight pipes with no muffler, dumped just beyond the rear axle. Even with the V6 they sounded real deep and real mean. I'd love to see someone request that.

I've got a 98 Silverado 5.7. The exhaust I have on it is 3 inch true duels from about a foot back from the manifolds all the way out the back. Removed the converters. It's got flowmaster supper 44 mufflers and 18 inch long by 7 inch tips, it sounds super mean. I've had so many people stop me on the road to tell me they like my exhaust and ask what it has.

[@brianconley7030]

The dual in dual out flowmaster10 did sound the best but what would have sounded so good would have been true duals wit 8" glasspacks on each pipe and ran 2 3/4" pipes w/0 cats and a set of headers now that a rumbling sound that you never get tired of hearing

[@caseyledoux86]

Red step side 100% what would it do jumping the diameter size Cat-back

[@J_ismyname48]

I know GM made heavier duty trucks than the 1500 half tons in the older GMT400 body's and many more powerful later models but I swear, for what they are they're some really durable and tough work horses if you maintain them properly. I bought a '92 model K1500 Silverado 5.7 used back in 2008 for $2200 and with almost 400k miles on it today, I still work out of it and maintain it and it just keeps earning its keep over and over and over again. It never had the best factory paint on it like alot of the 88-98 models did but I just recently got my first rust hole on the bottom corner of the ds ext cab at 30 yrs old lol. I bypassed the AC compressor years ago but aside from that everything still works! I have the stock converter into a FM 40 series dual outlet with 3"×18" tips and it sounds just right for me. Great videos brother! Take care👍👍

[@artart7943]

I have the flowmaster 40 on my 98 short bed 350, dumped under the cab but it is way to loud for me. I was wondering if running it out the back would make a difference or should I change the muffler its self. I still want an aggressive rumble but I also want to enjoy a conversation lol

That depends on if you keep it stock up front the 97 and older have a very restrictive 2 in single out system if you keep that and cut the cats replace the stock muffler it will be noticeable without being too much louder or over the top if you go away with that and dual it back you want to make sure you use an x pipe with a muffler for each exit price anywhere from 200 to 500 depending on where you live
