If any of you have replaced the exhaust on your H3s, what did you go with? When I bought my H3, the PO removed the muffler and tailpipe :roll: . Anyway, I am thinking of removing up to and including the resonator; just not sure what to go with as far as brand of muffler. I will have the exhaust ran all the way to the back and out under the bumper. Any suggestions?

I removed the big boat muffler in the rear, sounds great in my option, but I currently live at 7,000 feet so it’s not obnoxious. I may add a muffler come time I move to a place that’s ~3,000 feet in elevation.

I have been happy with the Gibson. It removed the resonator and put the muffler in its place. Only issue is it drones at highway speeds. I have tinnitus (ear ringing) so it is actually pleasant to my ears.
One major plus I have with the muffler relocation is it gave me a lot of room in the back for my on-board air system.
Oh, I also had custom turndowns made. The Gibson tips are prone to being smashed.

That really looks awesome. I am still debating on the "dual exhaust" look.

If I were to do it again, it would be single. The Gibson muffler I have has two outputs so I had to keep the second pipe.

I had the same set up as cbetts. But my Gibson muffler had a internal baffle rust loose and made an annoying rattling noise (same issue on my Silverado). I put in a Flowmaster 40 single outlet and it sounds the same as the Gibson in my opinion, a little louder than stock with the resonator delete. Flowmaster and install was a third of the price of the Gibson in a box.

we enjoy our Gibson dual-exit. i just wish it came with a round pipe section to replace the pancake mid pipe after the 1st cat.

On my Alpha T, I gutted the primary cats, cut out the secondary cats and welded in straight pieces, and replaced stock resonator/muffler with a 40 Series and I think it sounds fantastic. Not too loud and no drone.
May not be able to do this in states that test for emissions, but I'd recommend it for sure.

I have an Alpha with Magnaflow muffler replacing the spot of the resonator. It's not loud with normal driving, nice idle, deep tone when accelerating, can't hear it at highway speeds (although that may be due to the mud grapplers :giggle
, and if I do get on the gas it screams. Wouldn't have it any other way IMO
