Removed the cat left the muffler and my turbo spool and sound increased 80%.
Love it ...
My last truck ( 02 LB7 ) had a straight factory pipe and was loud ... nice loud ...
I just don't know if i wanna remove the muffler on this truck cause i know because of the VVT it well be a whoosh sound instead of a rumble ...
I checked youtube and found 1 clip but it was a 4" and was idling, i wanna hear a driveby.
What to do , what to do ...

You will have the "wooosh" at idle. A little past 2-grand she will start to bark. Plus the turbo wistle sounds pretty good to. I love mine!

I have a drive by at about 80% throttle if you're interested.

I'm not a fan of turbo backs for that reason either. Its deafening outside the truck and to me the whooshing sounds terrible.

Here you go...

Both are labeled as LBZ turbo back....

Its an 07 classic with an MBRP turbo back no cat.

sure send the clip to tcs@sasktel.net

I still have the muffler off my 02 LB7, i'm tempted to take a plasma cutter to it and gut the insides to free up the flow and see what well sound like ...
