What mufflers to run

The diesel sound is the clatter which you could drown if you put loud exhaust, unless you have a turbo then a big short muffler can unleach the whining of the turbo.
I need mufflers for the '83 I just picked up. I'm thinking of some 2.5" Flows...probably the 50 series. Glass packs will eventually clog up with soot.

what bout 70 series that are ment for bigblocks? any idea how that would sound?
I dunno, but here is a thread I just dug up. I'm planning on some 2.5" 50 series and some big tips for the '83.

Thats a neat thread, my buddy has run a number of 6.2Ls, and they never really struck me as diesels with a strong exhaust note like a gasser... He had one straight piped, and at the time I would have said it sounded like a muffled small block. Maybe I will try a set of those 30 dollar cherry bomb mufflers from Crappy Tire (think pepboys on crack), they had an awesome exhaust note on my old 350 
on my '86 k10, the po has glasspacks on it. start up sounded good, but that was about it. good thing i dont have those anymore
i dont want the diesel to sound like a gasser, i want it to sound like a diesel. what about some of those mufflers that are for the newer diesels? anybody try them? i think they are from dynomax or something
I'd think anything that helps scavenging will help the motor make a bit more power...

Yeah, it always help when you put the crossover pipe to help equalize the pressure when those 2 cylinders on one side fire consecutively, leaves more room for the gasses to go once they get there, that is why it's better to go back as far as possible to the manifolds.

wait so the x should be back far as possible or the muffler?

No.
As far forward towards the exhaust manifold
