Top 5 BEST Exhaust Set Ups for Chevy Tahoe 5.3L!

[@brg4594]

When I was at the local muffler shop with my 2011 Tahoe. I tried with mufflers while on the lift. Sounded good. Tried with a louder muffler sounded better… then. I was like. Idk. I still want louder. The older guy that worked there who was working on something else yelled. The best muffler is no mufflers. I said you know what. Let’s try straight back from the cats. Started it up with straight pipes. I couldn’t stop grinning and even the mechanics all started grinning. “BEST MUFFLER IS NO MUFFLER”

[@Luminous.Dynamics]

If it still had the cats, it wasnt straightpiped though. Straighpiped just means theres nothing muffling sound after the headers, including cats or resonators

@@montana10155 depends on where you get the work done. Its simple, cut the pipe before the muffler and possible resonator, weld new pipe straight back or angled, then weld tip of your choice on. Shouldn't be more than $150 including black or chrome tip of your choice.

Anyone looking for exhaust for a 5.3 needs to check out Carven. Made in Southern California, 304L stainless, better quality than borla and corsa.
