A good muffler will give you the wistle. My buddys 5" with a mufflers screams and some times gets annoying. I rock a strait pipe she still wistles but growls a little louder.


Your LB7 exhaust sound is totally different than newer trucks. LB7's sound like a 7.3 powerstroke and are also ridiculously loud and annoying with straight pipe. A duramax newer than 04.5 with a VVT sounds great straight piped, not loud at all at idle but get loud when your really in it, just have to try it out and see if you want a muffler later on. You are gonna like it a lot better getting that stack out anyway though, they are loud and drone in the cab. 4" pipe is plenty big, I don't see any reason for 5".

Yes it is stupid how loud it is in the cab. I just didnt know what size to get. Ive hurd that i didnt need 5inch so was planing on 4. Anyone know where a good stainless kit is? I really want stainless since we have allot of salt and crap during the winter but i dont wanna pay a arm and a leg for it

Flo pro kits are reasonable on price and work great. The style of clamps and everything they use makes them easy to install and don't have any issues unlike some other companies. I'm not sure if they offer stainless or not.

I'd have to disagree. LB7s are only annoying straight piped with a tip. No tip and they sound great. But your entitled to your opinion. I think if wistle is what you want go 4" with a straight through muffler.

My exhaust on my truck sounds perfect with the mods I have, definetely a good amount of whistle with a deep purr throughout the powerband (until I hammer on it)

And to the op up top^ those looks sweet.. I recently bought a set of retrofit rings for my fogs and headlights, gonna be installing them in the next couple weeks, I cant wait!

It's not strait pipe. You need the straight through muffler to give it the wistle. But the truck is stock with a superchip.
