Two of them 22" mufflers? You must really want it quiet! I say this because I have a 22" and 18" for 40" total. Now, even with no cats, it's now a little quieter than it was with cats and that one 18" muffler. It still has a great sound, just lower volume.

Well 2 because dual exhaust so one on each bank. Then possibly weld the ultra quiets directly to the mufflers for extra decibel drop since I already have them. Something like this even though this is on a silverado. I believe these are 5x9x22 magnaflow.

Also gonna see what can be removed from down under. I wish I had done the coilover conversion already because then the torsion bar crossmember could go bye bye. GKU26du.jpg 5b21hgC.jpg

Those AP brand are straight through design with sound absorption packing correct? Basically knockoff magnaflows?

So no swangas? Bummer. Looks good, too bad the sound isn’t what you wanted. I’m in need of drone elimination on my Silverado but not sure if a heimholtz will do it since it dumps right behind the cab. Stupid truck has zero room for exhaust. Sounds great when I’m getting on it but at cruising speed it drives me nuts. I also found out I’m no good at exhaust. Wish I had some of @Doubeleive ’s skillz.

Nope no swangas this week. With little space idk what you can do. They need to make mufflers that are built into 90* bends for more packaging options. I'm no good at exhaust either it really needs to be done on a lift. Laying on your back welding and trying to fit stuff is nearly impossible.

15" fully extended, ride height around 12"-13" should work fine. May have a few sets of springs would have to look thru "the inventory"

I really have no idea I haven't measured or even researched it for this truck. I will measure tonight because I'd like to take those off your hands and free up muffler space!

and looks like those are 10" springs, im not sure what size are needed for the tbar delete

Looks like ride height is right at 14" from the top stud to the bottom eye bolt. The eye bolt brackets add 1" at the top and probably around .5" at the bottom but I also have a set of the stud top adapters which eliminate that 1" at the top if need be. I also have a set of 8" 1,000lb springs but I have no idea what size spring is needed that will require some more research.

Gonna PM you about making a deal.

Also I just measure exhaust area to play with and I have right at 18" from drive shaft to frame and can fit a muffler with a case that is 24" long, lastly from body to bottom of frame rail is 9". I looked on magnaflows website and they have a 7x7x24" round, chambered but straight through muffler that is under $100 and 2 should fit nicely without hanging below the frame.
