Exclamation i have a question

hey guys, im new here, but i need to ask a quick question. i have an 03 silverado 1500 with a magnaflow 1 in 2 out muffler. i have had the magnaflow for 3 months, and i am not sure i like it much. the muffler produces a real deep rumble out of my 5 inch tips, although it is not as loud as i would like it. i am wondering if i took the muffler out, and replaced it with a y pipe, how loud would my chevy be? any ideas? would it sound nice? i had a pro install the muffler so it is welded. how can i take it out? could i heat up the welds and knock out the muffler?

please share your input. if anyone wants their truck to have a nice deep and clean sound, go with the magnaflow 1 in 2 out. its just not for me because i want my pickup louder.

i willl also be selling my muffler so you can make offers

If you take out the muffler it's gonna have quite a bit of pop and cackle at high rpm's but it'll be loud for sure. Just cut your old one out and weld in a y-pipe to existing pipes

Don't be so quick to sell that magna flo just yet. Give them straight pipes a little time and you might find all the noise annoying. There's bound to be an awful resonance from take off through about 55-60 mph.
