i'm using a set of modified 6.0 pipes. they swell up to 3" about 2" after the manifolds. i am not using the 6.0 cats. i bought a pair of dynatech cats and welded one in between the oil pan and bellhousing and one under the passenger floor roughly where one of the 5.3 ones were located. it took some cutting and welding to get everything to work but i'm very satisfied.

The 6.0 DOES use 2 pipes....they are 2.75" OD pipes with a slip fit on the drivers side crossover pipe and a 2-bolt flange on the passenger side down pipe

Question

Mine didn't look like anything like that. I think the newer ones have Stainless Steel exhaust. Mine was dual all the way as well, but it looked different. The cats are close to the engine as well.
Is that a regular 6.0 exhaust? Like a 1500HD or 2500HD with the 6.0L?
