cam and straight pipe

Your 4.8 may have had an exhaust leak, hole in the muffler or something. My 4.8 was dead quiet.

>>17740694
Straight pipe

>>17740694
Remove mufflers

>>17740816
Don't tell me what to do

>>17740694
The 4.8 is just a destroked 5.3. same block and everything. If your 4.8 was louder you might have just had an exhaust leak or something

It's all about the exhaust. Stop by a muffler shop and they'll hook You up

>>17740820
remove mufflers and gas yourself

My 4.3 made it to 253k and was still going when I sold it. Good line of engines.

funny you should mention that

uh

yeah you know what

i recall smoke coming out of the pipe in front of the muffler last i checked

Knowing that truck, I'm not surprised, but man did it ever sound good. Not obnoxiously loud, or really any indicator that something was wrong, but it was what you'd expect from a decent V8.

Time to go tenderize a porcupine, I guess.

Oh sweetie!

More proof diesel isn't good to breath in.

Stock, the 4.8 and 5.3 sound so similar. No one can tell the difference. Your 4.8 musta had other things going on with it.

I fucking love these trucks man. I wanted to get a cat eye Chevy this time around, but this Sierra was too nice to pass up.

how much was it?

>>17740943
This

>>17740966
Faggot shit. I'd rather have a big block.

>>17741646
She was $10K CAD because it only had 41XXX km (25XXX miles) on it.

A very nice find, I think.

>>17740943
>8.1
Can't get in most of the lighter models.

>>17741907
I get the km are low but thats a lot of money in southern ontario you can get a nice one with a diesel for 10-12k. I got a white one in similar trim for 8k with 200k i put tires and rims on it drove it till they were at 50percent and sold it for 10k then bought a newer one

>>17740694
Don't be a cheap ass by cutting mufflers out and deleting shit, in the end your truck will sound like shit. It's gonna sound like you cut some shit out or an exhaust leak, believe me.

I recommend replacing chambers for high performance units. i.e. muffler swap, cat converter swap, resonator swap, etc.

I had a 4.3, just get a Y pipe, no mufflers, and cowboy duals out the back. Tips do a lot for sound too. If my 4.3 sounded amazing, a V8 will be better.
