Exhaust System

I just went to Cole muffler today. My passenger side manifold is shot, The flanges on the Y-pipe are shot, and my muffler is kicked. I got an estimate for a cat-back magnaflow system for 200.00 installed. I have to get the manifold myself and they will replace the Y-pipe when I do that. Manifold = $125.00 cat-back = $200.00 Y-Pipe = $50.00 Donut Flanges = $17.00

Almost $400.00, what a shitty day.

On another note, has anyone every tried the "roadmaster active suspension" that installed above the leaf springs? They sound like they would work, but I wasn't sure.

HEADERS!! If yer' already spending $125 on a manifold, might as well spend $199.99 on a set of headers! What;s an extra $75? It'll sound better, be quicker off the line, and your fuel economy jump a few percentage points.

Nope. Sorry.........

Yup, I'm pricing them now. What brand do you recommend?

I have a '93 Silverado 5.7L and I had my catylitic converter replaced with a "Moreflow" (not sure of the spelling) high-flow converter and went with a Flowmaster 40 for the muffler. They removed the dual tail pipes and installed a single 3" aluminized tailpipe, using existing hang points. It sounds great, gave me about 4 MPG and a load more power. The whole job was about $230. I think your estimate of $200 for just cat-back is a little high, considering all I got for only $30 more!

It's really a matter of budget. Do NOT buy shorties are they're useless on a truck. Tri-Y's are best for trucks (Flow Tech's Afterburners are Tri-Y design and cheap as dirt), Heddman tork-steps are nice as well. Both are in the $200 range.

after the first of the year, I'm putting the afterburners on my '88 K2500.

For the cat back, I went with an Xcelerator single in/dual out with stainless tailpipes.

Getting some headers today, and a new y-pipe

Bought an OEM manifold today to replace the injured one on the passenger side. I was going to buy a set of headers, but I don't have the time to order them, and I got this one for $50.00 brand new.... Plus, this new exhaust, is loud enough. Maybe in the future I'll pick some up, when money isn't tight. So, now I have a whole list of parts to install.

Makes for a busy weekend
