I'll get you a vid clip of mine this week. LOVE how mine sounds

Well, no sound yet since the truck is still in pieces,lol, but I will be using Hedman headers on a 468, 2 1/2" pipe with crossover into Flowmaster 50 series 3 chamber mufflers, tailpipes exiting behind the rear tires. I had this setup on my dually and it worked great, had a great sound when you got on it but at cruise you'd barely hear a hum, and I also picked up a bit on power and mileage, so I figured it should work the c-10 also.

Ok so I have an untouched 454 with the mini-header style manifolds, and 2.5" true-duals.

This vid was shot with a set of no-name chambered mufflers dumping before the diff:

This was after I cut said no-name mufflers off:

And finally flowmaster super 44s with tailpipes out to the bed corners:

Sorry the vids do not capture the base of any of these.

The 44's are loud I have them on my beater with small block, even with a crossover they still bark.

Yes they are, but not as bad with full tail pipes, keeping the mufflers mounted as far back as possible. The no-name chambered I had were massively louder, but I think a lot of that had to do with dumping in front of the diff.

Believe it or not, rotating the exhaust tips slightly made a noticeable difference the volume of sound in the cab. So if you like the sound of a 44 or something like it, little stuff like that can make it a lot easier on the ears.

old and poor video, but cheap glasspacks on my old camaro. There was not much of noise reduction with them added. Just a bit better than open headers. Motor was a 468

Yes indeed, placement and routing of pipes can make a world of difference in the cab, but still loud outside. I got the 44's because they were on the truck when I bought it, and the dork just had them hooked right up to the headers and not even any tips, sitting in the cab you may as well be sitting inside the muffler, LOL, I moved the mufflers all the way back to the diff and put down tips and a crossover, it's actually not too bad in the cab cruising down the road, but still barks like hell when you hammer it. I like the 50 series 3 chamber myself, has a deep throaty sound when you get on it but nice and quiet in the cab.
