Any style of muffler to stay away from?

A lot better than some of the professional welding I've seen.

I say use 2 large straight-through resonators. Will remove the obnoxious resonant frequencies and "sloppy" tones but will quiet it down and give it a good note. Cherry bombs/ glass-paks are resonators, not mufflers, and they're usually installed under-rated for the application (and sound like **** and give glass-paks a bad name) but when used properly do really work well.

I ended up ordering this. It should fit nicely, says it is a straight through type and the price was right.

Also picked this up to add some more sound deading to the doghouse etc

Just thought I'd mention, I always use 25' sheets of "peel n seal" or the equivalent from home Depotor lowes. It'sabout 6" wide and iit's aluminum backed tar. Works great as a substitute for "dynomat"

I tried s straight through truck muffler and it killed my power. Put on a flowmaster and its much more powerful. But it does have a rapp between 1700-1900 rpm

the kids in TX with their daddies Cummins powered truck gave the "there oughta be a law" crowd plenty of ammo to make it part of the safety inspection requirement in TX unfortunately.

Been 3 years and 35000 miles so far. How long do I have to wait for it to soot up?

Believe me, I dream about a turbo.....but since I have a van it is going to take a bit more time or $$$ to put one on.

don't know how long it takes. when I cut out the oem muffler in '94 from an '89 truck with 150k, the flow was significantly reduced and the backpressure was measurable.
