Cherry Bomb® Glasspack vs. Straight Exhaust Pipe - Sound Comparison - 5.3L Chevy
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2019
- This video compares the sound of the Cherry Bomb® Glasspack and straight exhaust pipe muffler delete. How will the sound compare? Will they sound the same? Will one sound louder than the other. The Glasspack is virtually a straight pipe, so will it sound any different than straight pipes? I do a series of accelerations and one long uphill acceleration to record the "drone" sound inside of the cab of the truck and come to a conclusion.
Let me know in the comment section below which you think sounds the best on my 1999 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 with the 5.3L LM7 V8.

Glass pack makes it sound like a finely tuned fast powerful engine. The straight pipe makes it sounds like an old beat up k5 blazer billy bob built down south ready for the mud pit.
bob bobbinson this sounds just like something I’d say
Very good description.
Yeah that’s something someone would say that’s not around race cars very much
guys this thing does not sou d like a race car do not even compare the two
Lmao
One is I live in a trailer park and the other is I am the king of the trailer park.
marauder3058 i love this comment
😂😂😂😂😂 laughing at myself. Even after I made some money and get a newer Chevy I still want the trailer park sound
Difference between a friend you want to invite over to hangout at your house.
or you know that sound when the crackhead is back in the park !...lol
Don't be hatin cuz all the trailer park girls know him as big dig Danny 😂😂😂
I like the glass pack. Loud enough to make it sound good but just not too much to where it makes it sound like a wet fart rolling by.
jake gregg I personally like the xforce varex muffler
That's not even possible to fart with a V8. Now if it's a 4 cylinder then yes it does sound like a fart.
@@streetspeed9166 that's a good muffler but its gotta be on the right V8 to sound perfect
@@ffhjvbuydb78eb4 cylinder, oh yes. V8, still possible but not as common
Fox-E (Bonzai) yeah with true dual it can sometimes be like a fart.
Definately cherry bomb. Nice deep rumble at idle and a lot smother sounding. Louder is not always better
Agreed
@@jeremiahnorris3375 FR!!
seriously... i think this may be one of the greatest comparison videos ever made- it's of information we need and can appreciate, not a bunch of stupid music in the background. VERY WELL DONE My FRIEND
I like a quiet truck. It's a lot better for sneaking in and out of your girlfriend's driveway . Lol
You are going places sir😂😂
Backyard Buck Nah man I like a loud truck I just gotta park 2 blocks away lol
Good point
bro my ranger rn is so annoying.. no tachometer (i’m gonna put one in) and it’s really quiet. (it’s manual) and it’s kinda annoying to to drive with no tach sometimes
@@youngkale2685 yeah a tach and manual transmission goes together like peas and carrots. I would definitely want a tach if it was a stick shift..
The straight pipe is all sound no movement, the glasspack is quieter but it smooth and not all in your face.
The Oxzion reminds me of this GM truck we saw on cruise night once. Ear splitting exhaust noise but nothing would happen. All show no go.
My trucks loud asf and it hauls ass
Haha my muffler rusted through so I straight piped that sucker. It’s pretty quiet at idle and I can get around pretty quietly and quickly doesn’t get really loud until like 3500 rpm definitely better than an muffler with a softball sized hole that rattled like a civ
Back in the day we got 12 inch glasspacks that were bigger diameter than exhaust. We would heat them up with a torch then drop them in water. That breaks the fibers and pretty much makes it straight pipe. We did this because you had to had to have a muffler for inspection. The shorter the glasspack the better.
My dad was just telling me about this
@@Latenightshortz how can you make a glass pack muffler back fire more
Was it purple hornies? My father was telling me he had those on his 1965 mustang gt350 and he said it was the best sounding car around.
Yeah I had a 94 firebird 3.4 v6 had true dues with no cats on it with 2 and a half tubing out on both side of the car with Short glasspack mufflers and it was like running open headers on that car the faster I go the Lowder it was
@@reaperct3454I think you mean crackle and pop not backfire, backfiring is like a loud cannon shot and it's usually from exhaust leaks, crackle and pops are just from the back pressure of the exhaust when you let off the gas.
I like the sound of the glasspack, the tone was pleasant and the deeper tone on acceleration sounded awesome !
👵
glass pack, louder is not always better and a straight pipe is too raspy. almost sounds like an exhaust leak
Agree I have that problem now but it could be the 3" turn downs
Ninja Man just what l was thinking also...
Sounds better in person straight pipe does
True
Ninja man louder is always better where i live anyways cause it keeps wild life off the roads when ur coming but im also not a city slicker i rather back roads dirt or pave and lots of trees around
Glasspack adds a tone to the exhaust. Straight pip is just loud
Also, a larger length and overall case size (especially compared to the in/out diameters), the more sound control the mufflers have. While that may reduce overall exhaust sound volume, it also controls the sound better, so if you're driving a very stock vehicle (stock cam, intake, manifolds, etc) it helps it sound much better. Save the straightpipe for race vehicles that actually sound good untamed like that.
If you want more sound volume but still want that smooth, powerful sound control, use a smaller version of the same muffler. Instead of a 30", use an 18" glasspack.
Instead of a 4x9x14 Magnaflow, use a 4x9x11. Simple as that.
The cherry bombs sound so much smoother. It is not always about how much noise you can make. LOL
I like the glasspack. Has a deep growl that sounds powerful without getting to the level that it's just obnoxious.
Straight pipes are not obnoxious.
@@fish_R_stinky69 There seem to be no lack of attention-seeking manchildren that think so, I will give you that.
@@fish_R_stinky69 Waking up your neighbors with a loud exhaust IS obnoxious.
@@TarmanYoloSwag Straight pipes are not loud.
Love the straight pipe sound
Unpopular opinion - I actually preferred the sharp, crisp sound of the straight pipe over the mumble off the glasspack. I feel it suits the application better on an old beat truck... On a clean daily or a family wagon the glasspack would probably sound less hick though.
Jacob O'Brien so do I!!! I have a glasspack and will be adding a straight pipe slavery soon!!!
Glass Pack! it has a cleaner lower tone the straight pipe just sounds like trash. BTW nice comparison video well done.
That's because most engines run a lot worse with straight pipes due to lack of proper back pressure, also straight pipes are a real caveman thing to do to a vehicle with all the exhaust technology we have available.
@@getskared "Proper backpressure." Proper backpressure is as little backpressure as possible.
@@BradChadley thats actually very untrue in fact some engines will stall out if they don't have enough and if you are getting into performance engines you will lose stats if you don't have proper backpressure it's important to help an engine run smoothly
@@getskared Please watch Engineering Explained's video on exhaust backpressure. It's an informative and simple summation of why that is inaccurate. The goal of a combustion engine is to remove used combustion gases as quickly as possible. If you have backpressure, it will do work against the motion of pistons, and will increase emissions, reduce performance, and fuel consumption, which is pretty self explanatory since your engine will have to work harder. This is why race cars have exhaust systems that are very loud and efficient as possible, because mufflers and catalytic convertors in a typical vehicle increase backpressure. I recommend doing some more research on how exhaust works and the effects of backpressure. Cars needing backpressure is one of the most common misconceptions about combustion engines, and is simply false. I used to think the same thing, and thought about how an exhaust system works and it didn't make sense. I did more research, and sure enough, it doesn't make sense. Remember, back pressure will fight back against the engine. A small amount of back pressure is helpful, because it creates a negative flow that will help to completely empty the combustion chamber, but it minimally affects performance and modern cars still have more backpressure than necessary (due to noise and emissions restrictions). My 2005 Toyota tundra for example, has very restrictive exhaust headers that create more backpressure than is necessary, and a set of proper long tube headers can add 20-40 hp and a slight bump in fuel economy on that particular motor (2UZFE).
@@BradChadley no one is reading that whole paragraph
I wish all exhaust videos were this thorough. Great job.
Lastly, tricks to reduce interior volume and drone: position X, H, or Y pipe either closer or further downstream (need to play with it for your particular vehicle & engine), position muffler as far back as possible (if you place muffler AFTER the rear axle, that results in a SIGNIFICANT drop in cabin volume (I have a video I did that personally on)), add a secondary X pipe or use a muffler like a Cherry Bomb Vortex which acts like an X pipe due to internal design, and is great for a true dual setup with a dual in/out configuration on a single muffler (my current daily has this setup and it's hardly louder than stock when idling and cruising. Moderately loud when you mash on it tho. I am using an X pipe and that CB Vortex dual in/out muffler for my setup, and it's perfect for your daily driver to keep exhaust levels conversation and music friendly while idling and cruising, and still within reason while accelerating).
Haven't heard that sound in years! Back in the late 1960s My first car was a *1963 Ford Fairlane*, red & white loved that car! My dad's auto parts shop was sponsoring a race car and for some reason he decided to "soup up" my car's engine maybe because he was always working on that race car but in any case he decided to also add cherry-bomb mufflers. Every time I stopped at a light and a teenage boy came by, they'd rev their engine because those mufflers my dad added would go VROOM VROOM! When the light turned green I'd "pop the clutch" and zoooom I won! Ha-ha silly boys! Whatever my dad did to the engine it was super fast. Luckily I never got a ticket maybe rural living helped, not many police on those old country roads, awwww great memories! Making the biggest "dusty rooster tails" was fun! (not sure if anyone says that anymore but it's the dust from driving fast down a dirt road)
Time to invest in some body work. Like the see through bed feature.
Idk what that means but im with you
😂😂
Robert Boyle
Are you one of those people that sit on your couch ALL day and just talk $HIT about other people ?
You probably do so you can feel better about yourself. !!!!
@@tylerthorne5980 I agree, and all the while thinking about wet farts ........
Tyler Thorne It’s a joke dude. I have the same exact thing on my K1500 😂
Glasspack. Anyone who knows anything about exhaust can tell the straight pipe is a straight pipe. And thats not always what you want.
What about power? Do you notice any difference with stock vs straight vs cherry bomb? I have a 5.3 and tow. Thinking about doing something like this....that's why I ask.
@@timmaynard. there won't be any difference even with the stock muffler on. The only way a loud exhaust is gonna help is with a modified engine pushing out lots of power and even then at max it's gonna be like 6 hp.
It wont affect power much at all, the cat is a bottleneck
Glasspack sounds great! Straight pipe will get you a HEFTY ticket.
Not everywhere
Yup, better Safe than Sorry.
Like the sound of the glass pack. Thanks for taking your time to produce a video that helps us make these decisions.
Glad it was helpful!
Glass packs suck.
Thanks for the comparison. Ever since the 70 s I’ve had cherry bomb sounds a little more tighter.
Glasspack. So it wont irritate me or anyone else. Unless i lay down on it
Who needs a rooster when your neighbor has a glasspack or straight pipe.
I like the straight exhaust pipes much better now I know which sound I prefer and so glad you ran this test being a country boy with a Harley that sounds like the straight pipes this is exactly what I was looking for !!!!!
AWESOME comparison video!! **two thumbs up** (saves the trouble of ever having to do it myself)
IMO, that straight pipe takes it to a lvl where looks need to go with with.... I think vehicles that don't look the part of muscle/street/racing aren't capable of pulling off that 100% open throat sound...I did a similar type comparison with my Harley years ago and decided even V-twins can be too loud for their briches... Although I'm sure while driving/from the cab the straight pipes are a lot more enjoyable.
Where I live, loud exhaust is common place, and I honestly hate attention demanding exhausts that don't back up their "annoyance" with visual aesthetics..... (Not hating on your truck.... I'm sure you feel what I'm sayin')... i.e.- a 5/7 drop on a truck like yours and straight pipe would almost be a mandatory part of the package ;-P
Hope your having a blessed 2020 brother
Glasspack on a v8 always sounds awesome. Add headers and it gets better.
Thanks for the video. I know it's a little old, but you cant beat the simple cherry bombs. Straight pipes are for derby cars.
Straight pipes are for REAL race cars.
Solid video and exactly what I was looking for, thank you sir! I'm over the drone on my straight piped 6.0 on the highway. I'll definitely be adding a resonator soon for that more refined sound.
I like the glass pack it just sounds better. If you want that louder more define sound get a shorter pack like an 18” or 12” pack you will have a little bit louder sound at idle but when you give it gas you will definitely hear that and some more popping also. But it won’t annoy anyone next to you at a stoplight. But when you take off they will definitely hear you. The straight pipe has never really sounded good unless you are at a track. But you made a good video of it.
75% of the trucks and cars sound like this around here where i live
SLY GXP *25%
@SLY GXP go home old man
Same with me
Just about everything sounds straight piped in NW Pennsylvania. But it's due to broken rusted out pipes more than mods
Same
Glass pack had a more powerful smooth sound. In my opinion glass pack is it.
Glass packs have been a favorite because they burnout rather quickly & sounds better than when they were installed.
Straight pipes are nice too, especially with long tube headers & ran out the rear.
The exhaust with the Cherry Bomb sounds just about right.
I preferred the glasspack because it sounded good but wasn’t too loud where I live you easily get in trouble for your vehicle being too loud
Here where I live they dont care so straight pipes for days
The cherrybomb exhaust had an annoying drone during the in-cab videos but sounded cleaner, the straight pipe was very quieter in-cab but sounded like a late 80’s delivery truck with a rusted out exhaust. There has to be a happy medium between them and I hope you find it and share with us. Thank you for your awesome videos.
boredmud xforce varex?
@@streetspeed9166 I'll have to do more research on that exhaust, I've never heard of it.
@@streetspeed9166 The Varex system is super sweet sounding and the remote control for the changing of the exhaust note is nice, however, for the Chevy truck in the video, it isn't practical, both by cost and function, the truck is a work truck. Thank you though for your suggestion, the Varex exhaust system will do great on performance vehicles.
Yes, performance mufflers have drone issues.
I ran a straight pipe on both my dodge 1500s I had. Too loud, got pulled over. They're sold and now have a jeep with a glass pack. Sounds good to me
Probably the best video I’ve seen in the ways of comparison. Bravo
I have a 99 Silverado with 5.3. I've cut out the cats and put on the glass pack. To me it sounds good. It's all up to what you like. But thanks so much for your time and vids man
If you’re reading this Jesus Christ loves you unconditionally and He will never leave you 💛
Thank you 🙏
Not completely unconditionally. He only loves you if you like the straight pipes more
Cherry Bomb for the win. Straight pipe has too many high notes that make it sound like, well, like you're missing a muffler. Those high notes are the ones that pierce the ears and they're not pleasant at all. I straight piped a '67 Chrysler Valiant Regal (an Australian-made Chrysler) and at idle it sounded great, but on acceleration the high notes came through and made it sound like a junker. Someone else here said the glass pack made it sound like a well-tuned strong engine. I concur. I concur :-). Great video man. Thanks for sharing!
True duals with Glasspacks is a really sweet sound or a Flowmaster 40 series without catalysts. Those are my favorite setups.
Or glasspacks without convertors.
I loved the straight pipe! The glass pack was alright, but the straight pipe just sounded beefier!
Beefier as in beef stew?
For sure it did!
They sound annoying in real life I had an 03 4.8
Not healthy for the motor though
But sounds good
@@cateye_crazy4219 If it still has cats or is tuned to not have them it's not bad for it
This is a very well produced video, nice job
I was considering the glass pack, though not anymore. Your video allowed me to determine I'm looking for something in between
The glass pack footage the grass and trees were all green. The straight pipe turned the grass brown and the leaves fell from the trees. I’m going with the glass pack. 😂 Great video by the way!
Also, using a high quality straight-thru muffler like Magnaflow, Corla, Corsa, etc, the packing type and quality is better and will never blow out, keeping that new sound virtually forever, or at least the life of the vehicle.
Straight pipe is more aggressive and strong but I would prefer the glass pack for a daily driver
This video is what made me get the cherrybomb glasspack
Toxic Joker15 nice!
I always loved how cherry bombs sounded. My dad had a pair on his 67 Chevy pickup
I prefer the glass pack myself.
If you want to be loud and growly, then straight pipe exhaust tubing is for you. But if you want to sound nice and clean and still have some noise then glass packs are for you.
I personally like the glass packs better because they sound much cleaner than straight tubing
Growly, no. Poppy and blatt-blatty, yes. The glasspack growled. The straightpipe basically did V8 flatulating..... Equivalent as a V8 form of all the fart can Hondas out there. Farting loudly, but with 8 cylinders instead of 4. 😒
@@JoeIsCrazyWillman indeed
I’ve been running my first 23” in length, 2.5” inlets with 3” bulb of that center of the cherrybomb glasspack, down to the trd sport muffler on my 2015 lifted Scion xB. For 4-5 years and it’s a perfect sounds for daily.
And it sounds like what a TRD should sound like as a catback version exhaust that should came out from Toyota dealer.
I love these cherrybombs mufflers/glasspack.
Now I have a small exhaust leak on the welding so it hold up very well.
But now I will get a full new carback exhaust by 2.5”.
From Vibrant performance- ultra quiet resonator, down to the 12” length with a 3” bulb center of the glasspack, to the side exhaust.
Something different and this will sound much deeper and more aggressive for daily. I don’t want an obnoxious loud exhaust. Just a perfect volume for my vehicles needs.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Best test I found on line thank you
I got a Straight pipe 5.2 V8 and it scares the shit outta Everyone and sounds so good.
I have my 4.8l straight piped with long tube headers now that’s a good sound 😆
How much did the setup cost for you?
ChevyDude I payed 375$ for the exhaust set up and 290$ for the long tube headers it’s worth it sounds amazing I’ll post a video if your interested?
@@brandonbarnwell7992 sure brother, post away. I would love to check it out
ChevyDude alright man video is up I will be posting a better video soon this one is just for now hope you enjoy the sound! It’s actually sounds like I have a cam on it lol
I have a 66 c10 with long tube headers straight pipe before the back wheels and a 5.7L v8 and I love the sound
Excellent video of comparing these two exhaust differences. Couldn't ask for a better comparison video during pretty much any kinds of driving conditions. The god bless at the end had me hitting the subscribe ✅ 💯
Thank you very much!
I got true dual exhaust with cherry bombs and 5 inch stacks on my 93 Ford with the 7.3. love it
Don't be that guy with a straight pipe, just sounds like an old ski boat. Glasspack!
... so you can sound like watery Chili Cheese farts passing by? No
@@twportre8809 I think you just described what a straight pipe sounds like when it's cruising on backroad
Its a chevy it always sounds like a wet chilli cheese fart under water lol 😆
The Cherry Bomb sounded great on your truck.
I’m thinking of replacing the mid-muffler “suitcase” with a pair of Cherry Bomb mufflers on my Dodge Durango w/ 5.7 Hemi.
Great videos.
Muffler delete...I'm doing this on my 2013 GMC, Thanks bud, awesome video
Guy knows how to make a useful video. You need to consult others on CZcams that don't. Lol.
Great video. Thanks for being thorough. Interesting choice that ultimately depends on preference and desire. For me, the glass pack takes it! I'd love to see a comparison video between brand new glasspack and well aged glasspack.
Those straight pipes do pack a punch that's siiiiiiick!
I liked that straight pipe sound when it pop at the end
CZcams is making me want the glasspack even more 😂😂😂
I loved the straight pipes. I live out in the Nevada desert and I'm doing it . Can't wait.
You can never go wrong with a straight through exhaust on a v8. Glass pack is wayy too quiet for my likings
Same
You can always go wrong with straight pipes. No refined sound at all! My truck has 1 7/8 longtubes, rull 3 inch exhaust through mufflers. I can almost guarantee its louder than that thing and has an actual tonal quality to it.
Both sound good but I like the Glasspack the best. Still need to be able to hunt and not scare everything off😂
I put glasspacks on my 87 chevy 1 ton dually, 454. It was ok, but after about UK they got better and better. The straight pipes i had earlier would pop a lot when you let off the throttle. With the glasspacks it didn't pop. I like the glasspacks better
Straight pipe sounds terrible. My V8 Colorado has headers and a 3" single exhaust with a high-flow catalytic converter and Flowmaster Super 44 on it, it's PLENTY loud and sounds very, very good. Not terribly disturbing at idle/low rpm cruise, but really bellows on hard acceleration. Straight pipe's illegal and too loud even at idle to not be obnoxious, I do a lot of camping in the bed with a topper and it's nice to be able to fire the truck up and get warm for a few without pissing everyone around me off. The only thing open exhaust sounds good on is race engines through open headers. I have headers and collector mufflers with short dumps on my woods rig, a 5.2 Grand Cherokee, and even it's too loud.
the straight pipe sounds more like a truck
Evan love agreed
U bet
Are you high
@@graysonstanley2669 Are you high?
Giovanni Litterini yes
That’s cute. My 5.7L is straight piped with 30in glasspacks in her. Sounds beautiful. I like the video man. It was nice to hear the comparison.
ok boomer
I had a straight pipe on my 04 Silverado ....
It was just a little to loud when I floored it.
What I did was put a 12 inch cherry bomb on it and now it awesome !
Depends ones preference..i like the Glasspack cause inside was dampening enough that one can hear the morn news and keeps the sound of Glasspack outside of truck..cause after awhile of driving str8 pipes and headers gets kinda loud and there are times one just wants to cruise easy .
80% glass pack, 20% straight. From certain angles and positions, sometimes one was far more pleasant than the other, lol. Guess a person needs to decide which is more important to them. 🤷♂️
I like the glass pack! Thank you for the information, exactly what I wanted to hear!
Glass pack all the way sounds like a true Chevy going to do my 02 Silverado 👍🏽
I Love my Flowmaster Muffler
I had a super 44 on a dodge 5.2 with 5.5 echos under cab stupid loud I could drown out straits
I definitely like the even roar of the glasspack and remidms me of my classic 70`s muscle car i used to have ; the straight pipe sounds to me like you got a leak or a hole somewhere in the exhaust system ,too much rattle and high pitch pops !...good comparison video, thanks !
amazed how quiet the straight-pipe sounds inside the cabin
Glad I found your video. I'm definitely going straight pipe on my 55 Chevy with the 5.3, dual exhaust with turbo 350 tranny. Your truck sounds great with straight pipes, like an old school rumble.
I have a cherry bomb glass pack on my 4.7L V8 Dakota, this video makes me want to replace that with a straightpipe!
I'd cut the 90 degree bend off the end of the tailpipe, get a 45 degree bend and a long 4" tip. It'll give it a deeper, louder rumble, and I'd combine that with the glasspack.
I've got Dynomax Bullets, the long ones on my Suburban, and I think those are the best sounding glasspacks, and they haven't gotten any louder since the day I had them welded on.
Best video on this subject on CZcams thanks.... I'm going straight pipe on my Corvette
Like the sound of the glasspack reving better. Not sure how to describe it. Has a more dignified sound to it. Less like a derby car.
I have straight exhaust 2 3/4 with a 6 inch tip sounds amazing.
The straight pipe sounded more quiet than the glass pack from the inside. I like the straight pipe.
I had 04 Tahoe 5.3 straight piped with 3" exhaust, loved the sound of straight pipes. I'm working on my dad's ole 94 Silverado now it was are father son project till he passed away so I'm working on finishing it up
I hope the '94 turns out nice.
I appreciate this video. I was curious about this. Thank you!
The straight pipe sounds very different in person. I heard it in many videos and did not like like. So when i cut off my stock muffler i went straight to a flowmaster super 10. When i got tired of that muffler i went muffler delete and man it sounds good. I now have a 3 inch cat back pipe i got from an 07 n up silverado at a junkyard (bolts right up and 99 to 06s have 2.5 piping) with and autozone 5 inch resonated exhaust tip in front of my rear passenger side wheel (side exit) and its the best exhaust soung iv had.
I'm loving the cherry bomb. Bro.
The glass pack sounds better for sure, it's still loud but resonated. Less vibration sound and less popping on the decelerations.
Great video. My truck right now is straight piped, but I like the glass pack as well. The glass pack on my subs rumbled way more than the straight pipe.
I would say on a newer truck I would do glass pack but the straight pipe definitely fits your truck.
Your videos are great, I ended up going with a magnaflow glasspack on my 5.4 f150. Love the sound, but at the same time isn't just quite enough. a long drive and a water hose may be in my near future lol
I would’ve went with a cherry bomb extreme or a FlowMaster super 10 on a 5.4 seems like no matter what you do the 5.4 is quiet
I have a 5.7 strait piped did it about 2 weeks ago when the exhaust broke behind the cat it's also gutted sounds awesome brother tried to get me to go with the glass pack and I'm glad I didnt
Been thinking about doing a muffler delete on my 5.3 and now I know that I am going with straight pipe thanks for saving me the waist of time and money on buying a glass pack
Straight Pipe all the way!!! Big and Loud makes me proud!!!
Straight exhaust sounds amazing 😍
Amen. I have my dads ‘95 Chevy Cheyenne. It’s a dual exhaust straight pipe. It sounds awesome
Cut out the Cats. And go with the GLASS PACKS SON !!! Legendary Sound that Never gets old !🤘
I love the way the flowmaster sounds on my 2000 5.3, its loud enough to know it’s running but won’t make the neighborhood mad
