it's a shame these now go for $60+, think I'm going to get one since my dual exhaust cherry bomb extreme on my 95 5.2 v8 dodge ram is kinda too loud lol. Torn between this and a magnaflow glasspack for a cheap-ish option, there's little to no videos of 2nd gen 5.2 dodge rams with the magnaflow brand glasspack or even these rumble mufflers but they're supposedly considered way better quality than the thrush and cherry bombs. My cherry bomb extreme was only like $30something years ago in 2017 but even without that many miles at all on it the paint is chipped and bubbling and I think I saw a little rust here and there. Kinda sorta don't wanna spend a ton, and am pretty overwhelmed at the TON of magnaflow options, they have glasspacks, 2 chamber mufflers, racing straight through performance style stuff...
*those look like flow masters actually . cutting them off before the rear end it's going to be loud as hell inside the truck going down the road hope you replaced the stereo you're gonna need it*
Nah, it's really not bad. My other truck with the cam and supercharger has axle dumps and it's still quiet enough that my 1 year old will fall asleep on road trips
I ran my mufflers right up to the axel. Then went up and over with pipe and slash cut the tips to have the exhaust hit the ground right on the ground past the roll pan. Drone was no more and you could not see any pipes. Hidden and perfect....
For the money they're pretty decent. We threw them on the neighbors Malibu shortly after this and they've been on there for like a year now with no issues and sounding pretty good.
@@SniderTron3000 No, I'm not trolling. I thought you said it had rod knock. I have to admit I use a couple of bottles of Lucas oil additive to "fix" the rod knock on a $500 Pontiac Sunfire that my son-in-law was selling. :-D
Haha, I thought it might be something like that. Nah, it was something in the old muffler that rusted out and was rattling in it. And we've all done things we weren't proud of to get rid of a car lol
You’re giving me ideas for my 85 Monte Carlo😂 muffler is doing the same exact thing.only problem is the main tools I have in my house are duct tape and a positive can do attitude🙏
I worked at a welding shop for a hot minute and they kinda instilled in me that on thin-ish stuff like this to do "tack-beads" like that. And, it's just stuck with me. I don't think there's much of a speed difference, but I feel like I have more control of the heat with this because I can burn it hotter than a normal bead and not burn through, and then lay them over each other like that. But, I'm sure there's pros and cons to each method. This just works for me
SniderTron 3000 I hear what your saying an it makes sense. especially working with thin wall exhaust pipe.. I'm used to welding on thicker steel and stainless. Hydraulics tanks.. stuff with high pressure and the less stops and go's the better.. either way keep up the good work. Hope no offense was taken and have a blessed day.
Question? Is it legal to have the pipes shooting down under the truck.! Because in the inspection station they cannot stick the rod up for emissions they do not like getting under the truck or on your knees like I say I would have went out to side by the rear wheel and I would have put 12 in Walker glasspacks that's loud but badass sound
That I wouldn't know. I know a lot of people have dumped exhaust on their rides, but I can't speak to the legality of it. Also, in Michigan we don't have inspections
Put some new 2.5" tailpipes on it with some 3.5" tips. It'll get rid of that hollow sound that chambered mufflers are known for when you don't use tailpipes. Ask me how I know, it'll sound deeper and better.
I've got the same truck but a 91. Is there any real reason for back pressure? I've got turn downs and I hate it. Can't hear much else in the truck. I'm wanting to go back to full exhaust and not sure what mufflers to get.
Depends on who you ask. I think to a point, back pressure doesn't matter. It's more about exhaust scavenging. But, I do think you can go too far with a free flowing exhaust. Like putting 2 inch zoomies on a stock 305 lol
found your channel while doing research for my obs suburban, found one of your first vids on your original obs stepside with the 305, glad to see you got another obs and your keeping it this time love your videos.
lol, it made me take a look at your channel to find more on that obs though, been here ever since and now theres more obs content and its better then ever
I run the Jegs flowmaster knock offs, I think they were $20 apiece, they seem to be fairly well built, and they sound like a flowmaster, had them damn near 10 years now, no problems yet. Your welds looked good too, you’ve got manual pulse figured out. 👍🏻
Yeah, you can't beat online prices but everything I do is spur of the moment. So the little bit of extra price to have the part the same day is necessary sometimes lol
I was going to go with the Cherry Bomb 12" glasspack, but I was curious what these sounded like. If the engine had some more cam these would sound way good
I just put on one of those cherry bomb exhausts on my Jeep 4.0L. It sounds really good. Nice low grumble. Gurgles and pops when you rev it up a little. And hardly any drone at all
I think it would have been cool if instead of having your pipes going down have them coming out the side by the back rear wheel.! That's what I'm going to do with my GMC K 1500 5.7
I like symmetry and the gas tank is in way to get the driver side pipe out the side unless I kicked it up ad over the axle and went out the side behind the tire.
The Thrush welded sound more like flowmasters and are louder then These rumbles. These are pretty quiet, closer to a turbo muffler. Personally I like the Thrush better.
How do you do that turn down hand gesture? Hahaha 3:38 good video. Wanting to pick up an obs, love the stepside. I also love bass, so can't decide single cab with a blow thru box or ext cab. Decisions decisions
For a Magnaflow to do a 40 series knock-off. They did really good with it. Holy shit. Sounds like a unique blend of the 40 series and the super 44. I assume that's the 5.7/350 C/K 1500 right?
Never will I ever buy a flow master because every one I owned rattles like a tin can and I’d have to weld it all the time these magma flows I haven’t had that problem yet
Who taught you how to weld? It looks like you just laid a bunch of tack welds ontop of eachother lol. What did you use to paint the drum and hub? Thinking about painting mine
They look like the terminator mufflers you can get a part source here in Ontario, but they probably sell them there too. Either way looks sick and sounds way better.
Once again, I loved the video. You have the right amount of humor and work, knowledge and help. Your dad seems like hes an awesome guy, I like seeing you two work together.
Yeah. A lot of people hate on that technique, but I used to work at a factory that made farm implement frames and for the underside of them we couldn't flip them over so we stacked tack welds along the bottom. So, I know they hold lol
Damn 8k subs, I remember subbing at 1.5k. Congrats man! Hopefully TH-cam's algorithm works in your favor to get you to 100k before the year is over. Keep up the great work bro!!!
The reason I seen your channel is because your truck my mom has a 2002 gmc step side extended cab and it's the same color as yours keep up your sick videos
Snidertron3000 I also have an OBS chevy. I did longtubes, magnaflow x muffler and custom made side exit with tips. It has a very unique sound if your trying to really make yours sound good.
I went with the magna flow rumbler it's a lot smaller then that....but I went with 3 to 3 1/2 with cat delete and straight exhaust good thing is I live in the country but this city pricks don't like the 05 Chevy when she's driving around town
Just subscribed to your channel, I’ve been doing TH-cam off and on for a while and just recently got serious about it, you inspire me to work harder for my channel. Keep up the good work man!
SniderTron 3000 yea but i have had them both ways and going out the back sounds better but i understand y u did it that way sounds good though i like out the back bit that is my option just saying
I can attest to how dangerous that setup is ... need a half guard between you and the wheel, I do this shit w/1arm ... but it ain't fucking around though!😉
I do want to take it to the track at some point, but I'll probably be going to US131 because it's only like 40 minutes from me. Lapeer is about an hour and a half :/
Your old man is the shit 😊
Don't let him hear you say that, it'll go right to his already big head lol
Stock muffler blew on my 94. Needed a cheap one so I went with the $30 rumbler and it sounds awesome
Damn those are some nice welds fucking respect for you just went up 👍🏻
Haha, I appreciate that
Good job!
The reason the Mufflers were cheap cuz people like peace and quiet good deal for Young and Wild.
For the Young and Wild that love the mash on the gas mash it just don't crash it

THANK YOU
I was gonna buy those but didn't like the burrito tortilla over fold weld on one side🤔 of the muffler🤔

That grinder! Looks like something from a horror movie with that chop saw blade!
I can’t believe your dad actually wore safety glasses and hearing protection! Lol
I was surprised too lol
Sooooo...the way to fix rod knock is to put on a muffler that is louder than the bad bearing? Sounds legit.

I have that exact 2.5 inch muffler on my 97 f150 and the thing sounds absolutely beast. Job well done.
Better now than how it was.. try running a consistent bead instead of sap welding. It's faster and better penetration.. just my two cents

My k1500 has no cats, and straight pipe duals it is kinda loud at times but i love it
We always clear coated the mufflers to prevent rust lol. Or black high heat paint
That’s a clean sound
Can somebody help me find exhaust or muffler idk to make my car little louder when accelerating than stock one I don’t really know about car
It's to bad you guys didn't do before and after letting everyone hear what it sounded like and maybe without the mufflers as well
Put some new 2.5" tailpipes on it with some 3.5" tips. It'll get rid of that hollow sound that chambered mufflers are known for when you don't use tailpipes. Ask me how I know, it'll sound deeper and better.
I don't mind that sound that much. And, the exhaust will get redone eventually once it gets a different engine setup. I appreciate it though

My 95 c1500 has literally no rust but somehow my exhaust rusted so badly it came apart right after muffler and has holes before muffler.
finally someone with the same truck as mine except mines a 1991 k1500 5.7L V8 stepside but 88 to 98 are the same.

Should have went with cherry bomb they are $40 can sound great
I was going to go with the Cherry Bomb 12" glasspack, but I was curious what these sounded like. If the engine had some more cam these would sound way good
My cousin put a 12" glasspack cherry in his Silverado and sounds louder then mine and I have a carven in my Silverado
Some cut off wheel! Gotta have brass balls to use that bad boy!!
I just put on one of those cherry bomb exhausts on my Jeep 4.0L. It sounds really good. Nice low grumble. Gurgles and pops when you rev it up a little. And hardly any drone at all
Did you see any power increase?
Will that muffler fit on my 84 ranger 2.3?
Automatic or manual transmission?
Manual

My thrush welded sounds awesome on my cherokee. It was also 30$
I've got a thrush welded on my 03 4.8l 1500. I love it, for the price. It seems like it's gotten louder since I've had it on(since July).

That's a big boy grinder. It sounds just like my 92 Camaro with a 305 TBI. I have a 25 year old flowmaster on it.
Only men are allowed to use it
I been running that muffler on my 92 OBS for awhile now.. I get great comments on the sound at the local burger meets all the time

What brand is your welding machine? You laid some pretty good beads
It's just a cheap Harbor Freight 220V

Who taught you how to weld? It looks like you just laid a bunch of tack welds ontop of eachother lol. What did you use to paint the drum and hub? Thinking about painting mine
Its a tack bead. I just feel like it lets me control the heat more than laying a full bead. And I just used basic rattle can black
@@SniderTron3000 okay. Thanks but the hub and drum is yellow in the video lol
I have a 2001 ford expo can I run it without the Catalytic and run straight pipe and a magnaflow???
Buy yourself a reciprocating saw
Got one, we were out of blades though
I blew up one of my Flowmaster 40's on the old Chrysler. Rattles like a son of a gun! $140 mufflers or $40 mufflers.... they don't last forever!!!!
I've been meaning to catch on the videos of the Mopar, congrats on 200 btw!
SniderTron 3000 Thanks bud!
So just a side note. I saw that you have a bostitich drill. I have the driver along with the drill. Are they holding up good after basic use.
Lol its holding up great. We get most of our tools at yard sales, so that one has been around the block a time or two

No hangers after the muffler..? Those will snap the nice welds you just made. Especially if you live in the snow belt aka salt ma gedon
That's not even the most reckless thing I did that day
yall seriously need a sawzall lol
lol We've got a couple. Just out of blades at the time
My buddy is gonna install some of them rumblers next week on his old 5.0 ford
For as cheap as they are, they're really not bad. If the motor had a nice cam in it and some more airflow, I think they would sound pretty good
SniderTron3000 buy a rear end from a 4×4 OBS Silverado or Suburban or Tahoe and get cheap posi fun for the low they have G80 lockers in them
I'm probably just going to weld the gears. The truck is just going to be a toy and any owner down the road will want to swap rear ends anyway.
They would have sounded better with the rest of the pipes to the rear
damn that's good welds for flux, are you just spot welding all the way around them?
Yeah. A lot of people hate on that technique, but I used to work at a factory that made farm implement frames and for the underside of them we couldn't flip them over so we stacked tack welds along the bottom. So, I know they hold lol
it's not the fact that the don't work well, they work very well, the problem is they rust very fast because they are made of cheap metals

going to be adding an additional hanger for the end of each muffler??
Nope, there are hangers right before them.
What welder do you use on this? It looks like it works really well.
Just a cheap Harbor Freight 220V welder with .030" wire
That would sound even better if u left the rest of the exhaust on their
The Dude - "Yeah, well, that's just like... your opinion, man."

You should bring the truck out to Lapeer sometime and run it at the strip they just put about 2mil into redoing the track
I do want to take it to the track at some point, but I'll probably be going to US131 because it's only like 40 minutes from me. Lapeer is about an hour and a half :/
If it's got a charger on the box its gotta be good
Maybe go budget crazy and throw some shorties on it
I've got the set of Hooker shorties that didn't fit the RX7, I just don't want to mess up the only exhaust system I have that doesn't leak haha
Thanks man. Was lookin into buyin those
