Exhaust question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

truck is a 76K20 that has a 350 V8 in it.
I decided to bite the bullet because the old exhaust was rotting and the tail pipe was hanging so I called up Jegs and told them I was looking for a decent exhaust that wouldn't break the bank and had to fit on my truck. they sent me some long tube headers and an exhaust system with thrush mufflers. I told them I wanted a nice throaty sound but not obnoxiously loud at highway speeds, I still wanted to hear my radio.
This kit is horrible sounds like a factory exhaust and has very little good sound at idle
What do you all recommend???? id like to find something that I could use also on my Monte Carlo

I'm sure they gave you "turbo" mufflers. just awful.

Try swapping them out with a chambered design. I like the inexpensive 2 chambers. I think jegs has them under the Jones name and Summit has a house brand muffler. I have them on my 71 and they sound good, not too loud, and not expensive.

Chambered to me always sound better then turbo mufflers.

My personal favs are glass packs, and Magna flow mufflers. If you want them a bit more mellow get the longest versions you can fit.
