I hate welding which sucks because that is what I do for a living.

lol I hear you, I went to school for welding but thought I would not like to do it for a living. I do like being able to weld at home for personal projects and such.

I put down my tig rig and picked up a tape measure and started fitting pipe about a year ago but I still have to weld on occasions.

RE: Aero

I have the XL version and I love it. I got it from verocious since they are sponsors of this site of ours

Her are some shots of my Aero. Just make sure you mount it the right way *cough* God ram It *cough*

The rings on the Aero have to face the REAR of the truck !! I cut out the cat, straight piped it there, and mounted the Aero back where the stock muffler was.I absolutely love it !! Sounds AWESOME !!

I did the 4040 in place of the cat and have an aftermarket muffler inplace of the stocker. It sounds great.

I say their answer is no.

between the two mufflers the power difference wont be noticable to you. maybe not even on a dyno.

but the sound will be different. If I did it over again I'd go for straight pipe and the XL

You were right bro, here is their reply.

Now I just need to crawl under the truck and measure the stock muffler.

Oh the dyno on an 06 5.9L there was a gain of 16HP and 28Torque with a 4040 installed per Aero Exhaust.
