Hello Guys:

I am picking up my new truck later this morning, and pretty much the mods are starting this afternoon ;-)

I am looking for the board member's impressions on a good exhaust setup (LT and cat-back). What flows very well for a reasonable price...I do not mind spending a little more if the quality and durability are there. Any thoughts? If it helps, I am also looking @ a Radix and LS6 cam. Good combo?

Thanks again for all the help,

 

sounds like your making a very cool and fast truck. if your going to super charge.....might as well get true duals from the headers back. you got the 2 cats already. i would get 2.5 inch piping, x pipe, magnaflow mufflers.

as for headers, im hearing that The Other Guys' headers are warrantied even with a supercharger. so thats definatly something to think about

 

i believe that many people are going with asm long tubes. i know they sell magnacharger so i would believe that they are warranted also.i have true duals it is in my sig.

 

Thanks for the compliment. I had a low 12 sec '02 Lightning and got rid of it so my wife could have a family car, so I am new to GM Trucks. That LS1 is the most impressive motor I have seen in a long time. Then again, I am preaching to the choir LOL

 

I would go with ASM headers and magnaflow exhaust you can get the sound you want,they have many styles and a lifetime warranty.

 

Magnaflow and the azsm headers is the way too go.

I have been told by a VERY reliable sorce that the LS6 can IS NOT the way too go with a boosted set up. I just sold my cam yesterday!

 

does custom bent duals flow better than mandral bent pipes from Magnaflow? I heard Magnaflow has best flowing mufflers and sounds great too but how does that compair to custom bent duals? I too want a great sounding exhaust. Deeep not raspy! would magnaflow be the way to go or custom bent duals from pipe bender.

 

From what I understand, Mandrel bent is the way to go. A normal pipe bender ends up "Kinking" the pipes in the bend reducing the flow in these area by about 1/3rd.

 

yeah mandrel bends are MUCH better, but for a supercharged motor catback kits arent what you want. true duals there are some shops that either have mandrel bends, or they can make mandrel bends

 

I will give a vote for the TOG headers. I have them on my truck and they really are nice. They use thicker parts all around I believe. They use a stepped tube instead of trying to make them all equal length which makes them fight nice and not look like contortionist headers.

If you get the TOG's get them coated. I ran incredibly rich without the coating on the headers, but now that they are coated, they are doing great.
