Not really fan of Flowmasters.  I really like the sound of my '77 K20 with the Hooker AeroChamber mufflers.  It has a fairly deep, mild sound at idle, but really raps at full throttle.  Hard to explain, but I really like it.
Is there any way you can post a vid of your setup? I had been contemplating on those as well. These summit race muffs are cool but I still wanna go deeper in tone:-)  thanks

you want to have some sort of ballancer in the exhaust x or h pipe something it will help with the back pressure.

I kinda want it low and loud kinda like this truck, but something maybe cheaper then magna flows? If that's possible. If not I will spend the money.

I have a 2.5" pipe and headers, no cats or anything. Does not having cats make a difference? And is an h or x pipe better?

the x pipe is better but the h pipe is better than nothing most time "H" are used when there is not enough room to run the "x". the cat i think has a lot to do with the way your set up. when first got my 86 i gut the pipe right before the cat mad it louder but wanted more so i removed the cat. then i noticed it was loud but lost a lot on take off. i mean not just a little but a lot.

I have no problem with take off, it's the top end that it kinda lags and it was better when I had the glass packs on it but I wanted to make it loud ha bad choice of mine.
