Need to know engine size. 5.2L - 2.5" Single, 2" Dual. 5.9L - 3" Single, 2.5" Dual. Headers are always a good thing.

This is an area where everyone has their own opinion as to what works and what they like. This is only one ... I'm sure you'll see quite a few others shortly.

The aftermarket exhaust companies put a lot of research into what is the right size. If you're not going to buy one of their products, I'd at least match the size of what they are using. They've already done the work for you.

When the rest of my shipment comes in I will be going to Shorty headers, magnaflow direct fit cat, and magnaflow dual out exhaust. I went this route because it was all bolt in and I have been doing enough fabricating lately.

I was looking for a rumble with a little more sound, but not so much, the cops will bother me. I will try to get a clip of it when it is all together (hopefully next weekend).

What are all of you doing with your o2 sensors when you go with true dual exhaust
