Default Long Tubes....

head cam magnacharger 6.1 right now running 1 5/8 JBA shorties, stock y and cats with 3" single magnaflow

3" duals with x pipe?

3" duals with single muffler w/integral x-pipe?

3"-4" y pipe and 4" single pipe?

Standard truck headers are what? Look at the Dynatech header ststem, complete with high-flow cats and good to go!

sweet truck reminds me of lowlq4's truck, besides the dynatech's also look into obx they are pretty cheap and have pretty good reviews for fit and finish.

Off topic wasn't your truck for sale on ebay?
Also I would go with 1 7/8 F-body headers from Texas-speed which happens to be a sponsor of this site look to the right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

How's the fit of the TSP headers on our trucks? Are they coated mild steel? Probably dumb, but I'm leary of going with anything exhaust component that's not stainless. But they are impressive looking.

i checked the TSP website and they are coated mild steel. they look great though. i am with you on the stainless call. i would ultimately prefer 304 and no ceramic.

hey, what wheels are on your 1500 quadrasteer? have not seen those before.

I went single 3" into a 14'' Magnaflow.
If I had to do it again I would go X pipe and dual 2.5".
