Honestly sounds perfect, I would’ve thought it would’ve had a lot more chop and be a bit louder, very quiet for a cam and straight pipe not obnoxious at all
Mufflers get rid of the clap noise. If you want it loud without clapping, cut the cats off and run a single Flowmaster or aggressive style muffler. Problem solved. No clapping.
Straight pipes will always clap. I have long tubes, and 2 1/4 duals all the way into 2 cherry bomb extremes on my cammed 76 squarebody It claps insanely loud at 2400 rpm
I have an 05 with dual cat into a 3’ inlet Flowmaster super 50 with dual 2 1/2’ outlet going out to 3’ exhaust tips for a deep aggressive growl no drone no clap full stock
When you have haters it means you are doing something right, not the biggest of the clapping when on acceleration but its not my truck. Looks clean and sounds good when its idle
Thank you. I actually hate the clap so much as well. I have long tubes and an x pipe going on soon to get rid of it. I appreciate the actually decent comment
@@fish_R_stinky69 No it sounds bad because it is bad, are you not familiar with exhaust pulsing and the scavenging positive effects from exhaust thermodynamics? Even a rookie would know true duals almost always sound terrible without balancing or the effects of canceling each other engine banks resonance....etc.etc.
th-cam.com/video/6k7h3ijSXLI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3_LOzwYvMuP1ADqg This is a Sbc with a mild cam, with long tube headers 3inch equal length exhaust with and x pipe. before it had that clap you talk about with true duels.
Where did you get your truck turned after the cam and what all did you replace when you did the cam job I’m looking at doing one and would much appreciate the help.
I had it tuned by mail order tuner. Go on the website and you can type in literally everything you did then you ship your computer to them and they ship it back only takes a couple days. And I replaced the cam, oil pump, timing chain, lifters, pushrods and every single gasket and sensor on the motor. Oil pan and rear main included because everything was leaking
Sounds to rattlely like you've got glasspacks, get rid of the old cats, with either new hiflow units or none at all and put some classic Flowmaster 40s or Magnaflows in and it will sound like a legit muscle car with a lopey cam.
They’re just 4 pods from Amazon I don’t remember the brand, and then I think I got the bracket on Etsy honestly? It’s metal and really nice. Also buy a cheap 9006 wiring extension and you can cut one end off and wire it to the pods then just plug it into your factory fog light wiring
Do a x pipe. It's still gonna be clap trap unless you do like slp quad tips for a ws6 or get the square tip borlas with circle pipe inside. They will be in alot of trans am videos tips and size and shape of the tips make a huge difference
I ask doing something as well 08 lt chevy silverado 5.3 lifter 1 finally collapsed so doing up grade so looking for cam now what I can get without tune and what will need to be turned want the chop sound, help if you point me In right direction, Thanks
No matter what you do it’ll have to be tuned sadly. But I had mine tuned from a website called mail order tuner. I mailed it to him and said what I did and he sent it back tuned. Only about $300.

Just because it’s a 99-06 Chevy doesn’t mean It’s squatted😂 it’s level as can be and it’s a 250k mile daily driver so yes It is clapped out😇 get off my channel
I have a 06 cammed with longtubes, x pipe and 2 spin tech mufflers and it sounds amazing, Pretty loud cold start but driving it sounds so amy
Honestly sounds perfect, I would’ve thought it would’ve had a lot more chop and be a bit louder, very quiet for a cam and straight pipe not obnoxious at all
My 5.3 has 40 series Flowmasters it'd slightly modified and sounds amazing
I have same setup but 4 door crew cab and a lq9 6.0 and same cam new cam def made mine louder
Long tube headers will take the clap out
Agreed 👍 I have the speed engineering longtubes on my 00 gmc sierra and the clap is gone completely.Just alittle raspy
Mufflers get rid of the clap noise. If you want it loud without clapping, cut the cats off and run a single Flowmaster or aggressive style muffler. Problem solved. No clapping.
Great to hear. Thank you
Also if you do a x pipe with longtubes you won't have any clap and if you are worried about passing inspections you can do high flow cats.
Straight pipes will always clap. I have long tubes, and 2 1/4 duals all the way into 2 cherry bomb extremes on my cammed 76 squarebody It claps insanely loud at 2400 rpm
Definitely needs long tube and x pipe, x pipe is always a must.
Sadly they couldn’t fit one in my exhaust, that was my original plan. Going to get it redone with one forsure
Chopacabra is like a stage 1.25 if there was such a thing which is perfect for trucks.
great video!! this is the kind of exhaust breakdown i think every video should have lol. but great set up as well man, sounds beautiful!!
Thank you! Appreciate that!
That is super clean underneath for an Illinois truck
Lots of hours under there with a sander and some paint😆 really excited someone noticed😂
@@harleystillwell7519where I live we just wash the under once a year then every 3 years coat the under with chassis saver paint
True duals is why it sounds clapped, needs cancelation via xpipe, j pipes, or h pipe
Agreed I'd shift more on the h pipe x if you want just a tad more power
X and quality mufflers change that tooted sound.
Both just showed up today👍🏻
@@harleystillwell7519 😭😭
Add and X crossover, and a couple of Dynomax race bullets. It will still be loud, but have a much cleaner sound.
That’s my plan👍🏻
Sounds great no need to change it
Agreed.
Man, that sounds mean! I love it! Making me wanna cam the bronco
You should run a H pipe and two Magnaflows, H pipes help with low end torque
Yep H pipe is the plan!
2-1 Y pipe for +HP , to 3" for flow to FM super 10 or super 40/44 3" in 3" out if you dont want the droan🤙
I have an 05 with dual cat into a 3’ inlet Flowmaster super 50 with dual 2 1/2’ outlet going out to 3’ exhaust tips for a deep aggressive growl no drone no clap full stock
Lol, I deleted my Flowmasters and got less drone.
That rEd jeep truck is bad ass!
Thanks! Hopefully on the road soon

Im sure your whole neighborhood loves you fam.
Somehow no one has complained
I can feel my phone shake
My 2001 6.0 runs best with an X flow muffler. Ran straight pipes and major loss of torque, and gas milage.
Plus it always sounds terrible unless it's a fuel racing setup that doesn't need exhaust scavenging
Lol, it's just in your head.

Just get a duel in duel out muffler it might eliminate the need for an h or x pipe I ended up
x pipe would fix that clap

Can you keep the factory y pipe after the cats? I have cat back from MBRP. it connects to the flange after the y- pipe.
Yep I have the factory Y pipe still it’ll bolt right up like factory to the headers
Those tips look tiny look more like 3s
Awesome video man

Look into equal length exhaust with X pipe and add some mufflers. Otherwise, truck exhaust is going to sound like truck exhaust.
You should upload an exhaust clip
@@oceanwaves83 i suppose i can. You should search Andregarcia5.0. His truck sounds great.

take the cats off, put an x pipe and black widows. It sounds like a squatted truck.
X pipe and add mufflers. Needs some back pressure and it'll better
What tuner did you use real question I plan on getting the Chopacabra I don’t no if I need to go to tuner or I can buy a Diablo tuner
You’ll definitely have to have it Dyno tuned. I went to a shop in Chicago
Does it have a pretty good chop even with cats on still?
Yes a lot actually, but before the cam it didn’t chop much except for a certain rpm
Guy in town has a truck like that!!! Has the same name too!!
Hey man what fog lights you running and what brackets you use for them ?
They’re just 4 pods from Amazon I don’t remember the brand, and then I think I got the bracket on Etsy honestly? It’s metal and really nice. Also buy a cheap 9006 wiring extension and you can cut one end off and wire it to the pods then just plug it into your factory fog light wiring
Do you have ac issues? I have same set up but long tubes and my ac is cuts out at stop lights etc …
No sir I’ll have to pay closer attention next time but I think it stays pretty much the same temp driving and stopped

@@codycaballero3660 factory
I gotta know, how bad are the MPG's on your rig lol
Smiles per gallon man!😂 just kidding, it’s telling me 13
Glass packs are your friend
put some 12-18 in glass packs on er
Do a x pipe. It's still gonna be clap trap unless you do like slp quad tips for a ws6 or get the square tip borlas with circle pipe inside. They will be in alot of trans am videos tips and size and shape of the tips make a huge difference
