Thanks for the heads up guys. I think I'm going to go with Dynatech supermaxx LT headers and the catless dual mid pipes. From what I've seen online, people are pretty happy with them and quality/fitment is good as well. They aren't cheap.. but you get what you pay for right?

I like my ARH headers they fit perfect and had no issues at all. Are you still running the 243s I sold you a while back?

+1 for ARH! I put them on my 2004 2500 4x4 6.0. They come with dual mid pipes.

My spiral grey truck was totaled a long time ago unfortunately So I ended up parting it and sold that motor to a local guy. I picked up another 03 RCSB in pewter metallic, and i've been building that one over the past year. I picked up a low milage LS6 that i built up and just got done swapping in. I've thought about ARH, but Im going to run dual 2.5" exhaust and Dynatech offers dual 2.5" mid pipes, ARH only offers 3"...

Yeah, i had Matt spec out the cam setup. I am working out a few bugs, but the truck is almost ready for the final tune.

Ok.. Update guys! So after thinking about what to get, i ended up getting AR headers. All the reviews and good feedback from members on here made me do it! Pricey, but you get what you pay for!

First off, and most importantly... the quality of these headers is awesome. They are perfect out of the box. High quality stainless, thick flange, clean welds, and they even took the time to to grind out and clean up inside the tubes! The fitment was perfect too. No clearance issues at all! They went in like a breeze and have plenty of space at the frame rails!

It started to to get dark out after install, but i will add some pics of them installed tomorrow!!

Ya but I only had to modify the last 3" on mine to retain true 3" instead of the whole mid pipes and collectors being 2.5"

Atta boy!! Those things fit so nice and have so much room around them, I actually had to put a jack under mine to hold them in place so I could get up top and start the bolts.. If I didn't use the jack they would fall right back out. I don't think you'll ever regret it.
