    1990 350 4WD Suburban 1/2 ton (1500): The old exhaust system gave up the ghost so I was looking for a nice performance system. Simple Cat-back. I found a Flowmaster system listed for the 3/4 ton (2500) and when I called their tech line they said it won't fit. I wondered...
    I called the local trick truck place and placed an order (instock - have it tomorrow) at about the same price as Summit/Jegs with shipping. The counter guy agreed that it should fit. I picked it up and put it in. It was simple and quick!
    It fit great - I did have to grind on the hangers to get them to slide into the factor mounts, but that was it. The Force II Cat Back kit 17121 - 3 inches all the way back. It uses the series 50 (53051) muffler. This muffler is big - but nice and quiet and it seems to fit OK, but just barely. Their 70 series muffler is about 2 inches narrower which would be a better fit but its not in a kit. :af:
    The funny thing was the last guy who had the truck put in a 2 1/2 inch cat back system! :moonu: :Dou: :puzzled:
