M1009 Exhaust

[DriverSideImpact1008]

I put 3" stainless steel Banks exhaust on my 1009 and the cold air inlet tube it seems to flow better and it is not noisy either. it comes out on the passenger side single outlet.

Where'd you buy it and how much? If you don't mind me asking.

Could any of you guys take a video of your exhaust to see how it sounds? Trying to decide what i should go with?

Thanks

I can't find the videos I took of just the exhaust when I first put it on, must've been on my old camera. But I have some videos on youtube that you can hear the exhaust pretty good.

Here is a link to the video you can probably hear the best.

I'm bumping for an answer to this question!

I had a complete stainless steel system made 6 years ago using the original system as a pattern.With flowmaster mufflers.Not had one prob yet.Quiet on tick over and cracks off nice when putting your foot down.

The Flowmasters 40's are simply a straight flow through muffler

There are generic mufflers that cost WAY less than the Flowmasters and sound just as good

I have them on my Suburban, M1028A2 and my M1009

Plus, you could replace the 1 7/8 inch pipe with either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2 inch pipe and will increase your flow OUT.

Then add a K&N filter and it will have better get up and go.

I would like to do a new system on my 09 also. But im looking for less noise and more performance than stock. Any suggestions?

Never been a fan of flowmasters.
To much 'new age' and not enough 'hot rod' to them.
The low end has a fake sound to it. It changes the tone to much.
The sound should come from the engine, not the mufflers.

But then, I prefer open headers on everything.
I want my mufflers to take it down a notch so I don't have to personaly meet all the officers of the local PD. The last thing I want them to do is change the sound. Unfortunately these days the 'new cool' is that fake echoing sound that flowmaster champions. I think it sounds like a fart in a tunnel.

That said, I don't have experience with these 6.2's, so I'm going to have to experiment likely this fall as one of my factory cans is rusted through and making a 'knocking' noise.

Step one will be straight pipes.
Step two will be glasspacks.
Step three will be gutted mufflers.
Then I'll go from there.

I think just about anything is better flowing than stock. If you take a CUCV muffler off you'll see what I mean. It's like a 30x12" concrete block. I don't think any exhaust will really gain much performance on a 6.2 though, just a little more responsive, maybe a little better fuel economy.

Got it. Yeah not looking to get much more performance from it, just breath better. while still taking down the sound a bit. Kinda like what I think a good balance of what it should have come with as a military vic.

Glass packs right at the end of the pipes..... The louder the better. Besises..... "loud pipes save lives". Tell the cop its a safety feature...lol.
