I have a gibson muffler that i bought from someone on the list and had it
installed locally. it has a 2.5" in dual 2.25" out the back with 2.5"
"chrome" tips (they are more rusty than anything else these days, love the
utah salted roads!). it gives a nice throaty sound to the V6 and it isnt
that loud in the cab or outside for that matter.... compared to the
flowmaster, i have no idea how loud it is. if i can figure out how to use
my DV camera i could probably record the sounds.

Quick D intake, gibson exhaust, modified TB (still in the process of
milling)
