Squarebody Chevy Dual Exhaust Installation and Test Drive - Flowmaster American Thunder

Here's a very fun video featuring the first upgrade to my "hand me down" Chevrolet Squarebody Pickup Truck ... the Flowmaster American Thunder full dual exhaust system. Kit 17742
I'll run through the complete install, including the only tricky part... adapting from the H pipe to the stock down pipes on the small block 350 in this truck.
Couple things to consider when ordering a kit for your Square body Chevy... even though this is a 1976 C20, not the more common C10, it doesn't have catalytic converters so the kit was an easy fit but the Amazon shopping filter said it wouldn't fit this vehicle. So do a bit of detective work to make sure you order the right option for your rig!
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits
In the shopping list for Square body Truck is this kit. Any shopping you do after starting on this page helps sponsor this channel... so grab a set of my favorite Grease Monkey Bones gloves or some Lucas fuel treatment while you're there.... THANK YOU!
Here's a link to the Flowmaster (Holley) web page, it's where I'll be shopping for a ton of more stuff for future upgrades to this truck...
What should be next???
Thanks so much for watching!!!

I wore my earbuds for this video! Your truck sounds really cool. The placement of the exhaust tips looks killer; who cares about the spare wheel? Toss it in the bed, tie it down...and enjoy! What a great mod!

Pipes out the back or side is just personal preference. It's a bit quieter in the cab with them pointed out the back.

@bdtaylor1979 Жыл бұрын

You went from a straight through muffler to a chambered muffler, that’s why it’s a little quieter. Also, I would have went with something like Magnaflow instead of chokemasters/dronemasters.

@AutoEdits Жыл бұрын

It's only quieter in the cab and it's way louder out the tailpipe than the glasspacks, which is perfect for what I wanted. Magnaflow doesn't sell a kit for this vehicle (why not???) and Flowmaster has the most kits available and the absolute best fitting bends on the market by far. Love the Magnaflow on my Jeep but the tail section from the resonator back is not as precise as my older Flowmaster American Thunder kit was. For reference kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbxoqpWrtqezeJ8.html

@bdtaylor1979 Жыл бұрын

@@AutoEdits that’s understandable. I like the sound of Flowmaster, especially on older vehicles like the square body, I just don’t like the drone that they are known for and I’ve personally experienced. I like the deeper sound of Magnaflow but I just wish they were slightly louder.

I hear ya... the easy way to change that is put the "Outlaw" cans on instead of the Super44s. Those are the one's I took the chrome tip off of and were a bit too loud on the Mustang project. Another thing I noticed is that since the pipes exit all the way out the back... the noise is projected outside the vehicle but is mellow inside.

@@AutoEdits I have an 06 Silverado but I’m currently on the search for an 87 k10. I’ve got true duals and no mufflers. I’ve got mine coming out the back at 45° angles so you can hear it a little more in the cab. Can’t wait to see what other upgrades you do on your truck.
