I agree with Mille Racer, Acer. Glasspacks are really constrictive above 3,000rpm. Magnaflow are my preference, engineered for extraction, but Flowmasters are good too. I know, a nice V8 exhaust rumble is great, I love it too. I guess we all do. The crossover pipe w/good quality mufflers works. I little more money, but you can get the sound you want and enhance performance. What about saving a few more bucks, get some good headers and full flow cats to go with the duals?

flowmasters are real restrictive to though, probably worse since they're chambered while the glasspacks are straight through. I'd do LT's with no cats and a x-pipe to balance it with two dynomax bullets.

Here is one chart I found. Every forum you go on has a different best flow muffler. Get what you want. I look at flow charts and then check sound clips.

I think you want to figure on 2.2 CFM per Horsepower. So 300 HP would need to flow around 660CFM

EXHAUST FLOW

Acer, I hope you have not put glasspacks on your truck yet. Mille Racer makes some good points. I really don't think they're a good solution, at all. Ask some experienced mechanics, ask here, but glasspacks are restrictive, especially bad after around 3,000rpm. I like the Magnaflow product, flowmasters are great but I like a quiet rumble and the Magnaflow stainless steel is really a long lasting solution. My $.02.
