5.7 vortec, hedman lt's what should i do for exhaust?
 
so i've recently swapped in a 5.7 vortec from a 3/4 ton chevy and decided to get the hedman lt's instead of the edelbrock shorties i had. i'm not doing anything crazy performance wise so i'm pretty sure the motor will be in the ballpark of 270-300hp
i'm just curious to see what you guys would recommend for the best sounding and performing exhaust. i could run true duals or make a y-pipe and run a single catback.

i'm no stranger to fab work so it'd be no problem either way.

I have a 96 suburban with the 5.7 vortec and I run a dual in dual out flowmaster super 40 and it couldnt sound any better. Its surprisingly quiet on the interior but sounds freakin mean outside. Thats my suggestion.

i would probably run a flowmaster 80 series because it has a very similar sound and would be a much easier install. i would run 3 inch single into the 80 series and 2 1/2 dual out. imho nothing sounds better than a small block chevy with flowmaster exhaust but thats me.
