Ok. just like most I'm keep buying into the add on performance parts.. Not Sure if they do any good.but hell sometimes I just got to do it..
So heres the question.. Just put a Flowmaster muffler on my H2 or go for a full system like the Corsa or Borla..
Has anyone seen any verified testing on the H2 or other 6.0 GM for the above comparision..
I have the AIrraid intake installed, the new Hypertech is sitting in my office waiting for me to get off my backside and instal.. Now I know I want a more throaty sound for the H2 ( but not heavy cabin rumble, must keep the wife off my back), so what is the general thoughts on these products.

I installed a Flowmaster Muffler on my H2 about two months ago. It sounds so much better and the performance did increase a bit. I sell complete exhaust systems and could have installed a new cat-back system but I just did not want to put any "flash" under the H2 where no one would ever see it plus I would'ent have to keep it clean with the Flowmaster.

I put a FlowMaster Delta Flow II on mine and it sounds great and gives it a little bit of Oomph. And the best part- $175 installed!!!
A word of warning on using exhaust pipes that extend out from under the bumper- if you go off-road and come off of something with a steep departure angle you risk crushing your pipe(s) shut. That will definitely affect how your engine runs.

Thanks for info.. I wish the magazines would do a comparison on systems vs just mufflers.
I do not go offroad much.. If I do it's real light stuff. I use the H2 ( which will replace my Suburban) for commute and occasional Police work.. In fact I just got in . I spent the last 30 minutes cleaning corn stocks and Deer parts out from under the SUb.. Kind of glad the H2 isn't completely outfitted yet.
Pressure washers are a wonderful Thing.

get a winch... I cut a deer in half about 2 weeks ago with one... probably saved me hundreds in repairs to the front end (at least the cost of the winch)... tagged him at a good pace, all I did when i got home was get the hose out and rinse the winch off.. unaslob

Here is a pic of the B&B Tri Flow cat-back. I love it. Freaks people when they see the size of it
I can get a pic of muffler if you want.

Thanks for pix and offer of pix. Not necessary. I'm not really concerned as to the looks, as I hope That side will never be up.. MOre concerned with .. sound, performance comparisons of what is out there.

CTRFR:
The purpose of the pic is to show two things:
Stainless steel construction
Stock location for the exhaust outlet
Muff pic would show same.
It is loud under WOT and it is big.
The rig breaths much easier. As far as performance enhancement I cannot give you that info. I do not know, but now I am going to check.

This is a link I found. Mind you, these are all Corvette owners expressing their opinions of the system. I KNOW it is for Corvettes, but... http://www.corvetteforum.com/reviews...=185&TopicID=1
Here is the link to the B and B site. http://www.bbtriflo.com/

Hey Una, was that the Warn Multimount system winch? I always wondered what would happen to it if it hit a deer. The winch still works OK?

Thanks again for all the info.. My local muffler shop has them available for under $200.00 installed. I will check out the posted sites.. I usually just jump in and buy what ever is percieved as the coolest.. not necessarily the best.

KenP. I like the looks of that BB system. How do you like it? Is it very loud inside? I can get a Corsa touring (quieter) system with the off road tip for $729.00. The BB like you have looks like it goes for about $550.00. I don't want an obnoxious sound in the cabin.

This site has sound recordings http://www.bbtriflo.com/
It has a nice rumble to it, but I have not heard it on a stock 6L. I really like the factory location for the exhaust outlet versus the outlet exposed.

KenP. The BB system looks like the same one SMA sells. If you look on the SMA site, it says its stocked in AZ same place BB is. I a friend of mine has the SMA exhaust on his H2 and its too loud for me. I think I'm going to go with the Corsa Touring system.

Just put a 50 series flowmaster on mine this weekend. the sound is great, a nice low rumble, it did raise the cabin noise ever so slightly while cruising and quite a bit under acceleration. feels like I got a performance improvement, kinda hard to tell, my butt is not that well calibrated, however, the mileage seemed like it improved by about 1 mpg over the 50 miles I drove it.
