What is it. Can somebody explain to me why so many people think that a stock 5.3 or whatever needs true duals???

 

i think most dont need true duals. unless you are modding heavily. im running true duals with a custom x pipe. i gained performance with the x pipe.

 

Hmmm maybe it's time for me to go true duals with X pipe on mine. I currently have a single 3" on my cammed 5.3.

 

Youre still running that 212/218 arent you??

 

Yup, still runing that same cam.

 

SOUND when your trucks stock its all about the sound when i had a sinlge flowmaster at 6k rpm didnt sound like a v8 was like a buzzz but with true duals i hear each pulse like a v8 should sound and im lovin it =\

 

I've always had true duals, the sound is awesome. I've got 22" long 4" tips running straight out the back. I had glasspacks, 40 series deltaflow flowmasters, and dynomax bullets. The bullets sound the deepest and meanest out of the 3. The flowmasters sounded really good with the tips, almost as good as the bullets. But, when I cut the tips/piping off and had dumps off the flowmasters, they sounded like ****! The bullets where just about as good dumped as they do now with the tips back on, less interior noise though. When I had the x-pipe put in, it was a big difference in torque from right off the idle. Nothing gets people's attention like the cam loping through the cut-outs though Just giving my .02

 

fellas.

how is the resonance with the true dual systems? i'm watchin BK's video and it sounds like it might be a bit rough.

opinions?

 

i have dual flowmaster super 40s which flowmaster says have lower resonance than 40 seriers and i get alota vibration in the cab so id say its ruff and i have stock manifilds n cats 2 1/2 inch flows

 

I posted about my project.

I can pick up a catback meant for an SS which is a dual piped system for a few more dollars than a singla piped system split for my 5.3

And the fact my GMC shares the same frame and crossmembers as the SS its a bolt on deal.

I'm not planing on keeping the 5.3 stock for very long so I want to get the exhaust ready ahead of time. So I guess there's my answer for the quest for duals.
