Doubt all you want, i own two trucks and i have had two dynatech systems in my possesion at one point and a pacesetter.
For ***** and giggles i swapped the pacesetters on my rcsb out the dynatechs. Went to the track with almost exact conditions by almost i mean very close but the dynatech night was a tad better. Like 1 degree cooler and the da was 3x better. Fairly close.
In the end every single spot of the track was run faster with the pacesetters.
Truck runs/ran very consistent never more than a half tenth off with all my runs when it hooks up.
This was enough to prove it to me. Take it for what it's worth. Either way doesn't effect you since you have a 08.
Oh and also dynatechs have a high price for the material they use and the catted system.
Evil, Did u run the Dynas w/ or w/o cats? I'm thinkin w/o cats, it'd be close. Close enuff that most will be happy either way. High price--> Stainless sure has something to do w/ that.

Ive never seen dynatechs on a chevy, but I have seen a few sets on fords and I am not impressed for the cost of them.
Too small for your appl.? .125" is a pretty small difference. U runnin F/I? The only way to compare quality between the 2, is side-side, but most won't drop $3k to do that. Either will last the life of vehicle.

What is it that u know to look for? Merge style collectors, gradual bends. They both are great headers. Customer service is top notch w/ Dynas, sounds same w/ ARH. It's cool that ARH will build to a 1 7/8" &/ or a 3" as spec'd by customer. I support U.S. made too!!

I had the OBX (dynatech copy w/o cats) and pacesetters on my 6.0L. I can definitely tell a difference up top. It pulls faster to 100 and above 100 the revs climb faster. My speedo only goes to 100, so I don't know how fast I was going (5000 rpm in 3rd with 3.42s/31.5" tires), but had to slow down cuz some weather stripping blew out from my engine bay

Up top is where the 3" will pay off; the smaller size benefits torque. Use your HPT, or EFILive( I think they have it too), if u want to see how much above 100mph u went.

GMCtrk, sent ya a PM.

Unsure if mine would do 137, but I like it from a dig. Tires are too worn to try. Outta the hole, I think the Dynas made a huge difference. I've got 3.42s too, but w/ my luck, the people out on patrol would already be out of the donut shop.
In the end, it's about the right combo & learnin/ havin fun!

I've never floored mine from a dig. With half throttle it lights up the rears so why even bother full throttle?

If you have them installed, I would like to see some pictures both from the engine compartment and underneath.
