i cut the trash can muffler that was on there off and replaced it with a piece of 3in pipe that is reduced to 2 3/4 to match the factory exhaust. this is the sixth 4.3 i have own(first safari) and i just love the sound of the "big block" 6 cylinder. plus without modifying the intake freeing the exhaust helps the mileage 4 to 5 mpg.
