Nope, not a radio Question...
Put simply, Cherry Bomb Glasspacks, or some kind of Flowmasters?

Glasspacks are definately cheaper, which is a concern for me, but upon visiting the Flowmaster website, I found that "Flowmaster's better than straight thru!"

Just curious what y'all would choose, I'm still using the stock 4.3L V6.

- Thanks!

My brother ran Flowmasters on his motorhome and he found he had to choose between a set that performed well and was too loud or a set that was quiet enough but hurt performance and mpg.

My suggestion would be to try some Walker Dynomax Turbo mufflers. I've seen some flow bench tests that show they also flow very well and don't cost nearly as much as the Flowmasters.

I have a 2.5 inch Cherry Bomb Turbo style muffler on my 95 AWD 4.3 .
It dumps out right before the back wheel . It sounds awesome, but not overpoweringly loud, unless your the poor slob I'm passing by as I blast up hill 60, lol.
I have a 2.5 inch Cherry Bomb Glasspack on my 87 4.3. It sounds awesome too, but much louder in comparisson to the turbo style.
Hard for me to compare performance or fuel consumption though between a 95 awd vortec, and a 87 2wd Vin z,
except to say that my little 87 gets way better mileage than my great big AWD 95, but of course!
I can say I'm dissapointed with the durability of the Cherry Bomb Turbo which has all rolled seams. its only a coulple years old and its starting to come aprt and swell at the seams and rattle where the pipe comes out. The welded body mufflers are way better. My glasspack is fine so far.

I use the Dynomax Ultra Flo X . It's not too loud, gives me a crossover AND muffler in one package, was fairly priced and to this point (6-7 months) had been trouble free.
I like it so far.

Good luck!

it also matters if your looking for mufler replacment or a full exhaust system if stock and using a cat the glass packs will work great(thats what i have) if no cats flowmasters if full exhaust talk to your local mufler shop they probally done this before
