exhaust or muffler

[bdogg23]

i was thinking about getting a gibson exhaust system. I was wondering what kind of performance this would show? Do you think a gibson exhaust system would be better than getting like a flowmaster muffler? thanks for any help!

the gibson will add more hp and torque, but a flowmaster will be louder. thats your decision from there.....whichever youd rather have. personally id take the gibson because it gives a nice throaty sound and i could use some extra hp.

Most catback systems are created equal. They differ mainly in sound. I usually recommend a custom system with a Magnaflow muffler:

So do you think if i get the kkm intake and a magnaflow muffler that would help quite a bit?

probably about 5-15 horsepower.... definately a noticeable increase... DO IT!

This coming from a guy without a KKM even yet, just a single magnaflow, there is definatly a noticeable difference. You'll appreciate it more as time passes. If you ever raced your friends or anything, and were neck and neck, you'll notice now you revv up alot quicker and it just feels like your car is having less trouble doing what it needs to to get moving.
I would do it!

What did you get? and how much did you pay for it?

When I get the kkm intake will that help out my mpg also?

As long as you don't use the throttle too much, yes.

 

[bdogg23]

will it add a little roar or something? like make it louder?

Yes, both intake and exhaust usually make the truck sound better.
