Man, that is one nice looking system; those are some of the cleanest welds I've seen on an exhaust system. So you welded the headers to the exhaust? Looks really good.

Looks really sweet grippy!!
In fact, I would like part numbers for the mufflers you used and the part number for those cats if it has been determined yet. I saw the 59xxx post but I want to the exact part number if its available. I will be printing your pics and taking them to my exhaust shop when I get these LT's put on.
Questions:
Is the whole system a 3" in/out?
And why 3" over 2 1/2"?
Was the X pipe Magnaflow as well?
No drone, even when you pull away from a stop?

I have no problem on the highway. Once the converter locks up you can't even hear the exhaust. I'm trying to get rid of the 0-50mph hmmmmmmmmmmmm sound. I was wondering if he had any of that with his new setup.

Questions:

Is the whole system a 3" in/out?YES
And why 3" over 2 1/2"? One design perameter was a ZERO loss system. A dual 2.5" system can be made to support similar power with MINIMAL SACRIFICE to power
Was the X pipe Magnaflow as well? YES
No drone, even when you pull away from a stop?Doesn't seems to ... i went on a test drive and TRIED to make it drone to no avail. Long tubes help eliminate the 6.0L drone

I'll post up numbers of parts shortly.

Great job Grippy! The crew did an awesome job on your system.
Looks like I'm going to have to investigate those CATS for my SS.

The modding begins.............

Congrats friend.
