Re: Muffler Replacement - Stock?

Yeah, I'd go to Walker for OEM design exhaust. I'm looking to improve my Suburban's exhaust system. It currently has a Flowmaster 1 into 2 I installed when I had dual tailpipes run out behind the rear tires. All that custom work is gone now, straight out the muffler now. The sound doesn't bother me. I don't heard/feel a drone, but I know that drone you're talking about and it bugs me. I'm considering buying a whole new OEM type Walker system to be practical. Not sure how long I'll be in this thing. What I'd do if I wasn't considering being more practical (I'm getting old ) is a custom full dual exhaust using Cadillac, medium duty truck or Quiet Flow mufflers. If I go stock single exhaust it will be the first stock exhaust I've even installed or left on a vehicle in my life.

I have a new neighbor not so close to me who for whatever odd reason starts and idles his '90s pickup about every day for a long time before driving and more often he never even goes anywhere. He has started it at 5am and let it idle till 8am before shutting off. His exhaust is louder than stock like mine but it has the most annoying steadily fluctuating drone at idle that I can feel in my head and chest as bad as hear. ong ong ong ong... My brain gets used to it so it's just there. My hearing will create a similar sound sometimes, like heavy equipment building a hiway or development in the distance. When he shuts it off it's an instant relief. It's very quite here and this guy is making me unhappy about his noise pollution he brought with him
