M1009 Exhaust

[my86m1009]

I apologize if this is already on here but i couldn't find anything through the search bar.
Anyways, being a gearhead, i love hearing the exhaust on my vehicles. When i bought my m1009 first thing i realized i need to change the stock exhaust. I am stuck on what to do. I was thinking straight pipes, then glasspacks, then flowmaster 40 series. I am not sure what would be nice sounding but not too loud so i won't get stopped everyday. Does anyone have any opinions on this or any other options i should consider?

Exhaust

I tried straight pipes for a bit on my M1008. They aren't too loud from outside on this truck, but they are oppressively loud in a truck with little noise dampening. The next day after removing the mufflers and installing turndowns I hauled literally an oak tree worth of logs in the bed and in my nifty German Wehrmacht trailer. Taking off up a super steep hill at a traffic light that truck screamed so loud I was sure everyone for a mile must have heard it. But, I digress. Shortly thereafter I gutted the stock mufflers. The truck now has some sound and breathes better. The best part? It cost me 4 hours, some MIG wire and a few bits of steel plate I had in the shop. Just my own experience, YMMV.

thats also a possibilty

I know my Blazer is noisey; but I assume it is generally from the engine and road noise/tires. Is the stock exhaust noisey? Could it stand to be quieted with better mufflers? Hmmm.

I would go with the Flowmaster. It will be plenty loud and sound cool taking off at stop lights too. Maybe some new exhaust pipes. Mine was a pieced together mess of different sizes on my M1008.

my pipes are actually in pretty good shape to my suprise, i was thinking the flowmasters also so i could get them to weld directly up

I was going towards the glasspacks because of price and sound

I'm not quite sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.... Just saw your hand, holy ****... What did you do? I think ill do the exhaust after i fix a few other problems.

I wasn't impressed with cherrybomb glasspacks on my 1008. They don't take out enough of the high-pitch tones. Too snappy and crackly. I took them off and went straight pipes out the back, then sold it. 6.2's get really loud when they rev higher.

On my 1009 I'm thinking about getting a 3" single exhaust with some kind of turbo mufflers. Or possibly Flowmaster 70 series. I'm going for better flow rather than just sound.

But it's your truck. Play around with it, and find what works for you.
