This is the best response to attempted beef thread Ive seen in a while.  You go for yours man.  You earned the money and you get to leave it lay in 2 big, black, stinky patches laid on your nearest municipal roadway.

 

I usually leave the jobsite sideways in first gear with the overrun clutches locked (shift selector in first for you amateurs).  My front tires look almost new (replaced recently) and the backs are already worn half down.  Time to rotate and make them even next month!

I left work in first gear the other day with the 4L60E at 5500 RPM.  The ground was a little wet so I held it sideways down the whole block.  My employee pulls up next to me at the light and says "I saw that!"  So I do it again, brakestanding while chatting with him.  He says I'm a professional driver on an open course.

 

When the lawman pulls me over, I respectfully pull to the right, roll down my tinted windows, shut off my vehicle and sit with my hands on the steering wheel so they feel comfortable.  When they ask if I know why they pulled me over, I usually know which law I broke and how bad, so I'm quite honest and willing to pay my fines for my actions.  Quite often the officer says "Have a nice day, slow down."  I would say more than 50% of the time I have been let go, and this includes exhibition of speed.  Respecting an officers job goes a long way.  Do you think they want to be doing that exact job?  Maybe not but maybe they want a nice neighborhood for themselves and others.

 

I was speaking with my neighbor down the block and it turns out hes a police officer (he has cars we were talking GM).  I was walking my dog and I see the CHP stopped at a house.  That's odd I thought.  Turns out its the CHP guys house.  I'm walking my dog again the other day at 10PM and my neighbor a few doors down is coming out his side gate (I thought trash).  Turns out hes a homicide major crimes detective he was leaving his house going to work a late shift.  Fully uniformed police officer uses side gate to be sneaky and jump in vehicle quickly.  I'm introducing myself to other neighbor and I notice something odd that only other law enforcement pay attention to (my brother is LEO).  I mention it and he says "yup I'm LAPD civilian".  He works for the police just not in the field.  None of these people know each other either.

 

I can tell you where I WONT be doing smokey burnouts.  My neighborhood.  LOL.

Now that's good stuff right there.  You are living in a safe zone.  Funny thing about the "let go" part.  I get the same.  I think white guys in pickups are basically ghosts to LE.  Obviously, if you are seriously effing around, you're gonna get nabbed.  Ive been driving a pickup my whole life and pulled over a lot over 25 years.  When in a pickup, I've never gotten a ticket.  I've had cops not even ask for my insurance and not even go back to their cars.   The CPL helps too.  But the sad part is that I think me being white is a HUGE part of that.  Here you have black people getting shot in their cars for nothing wheras I'm speeding a little and tell officers off the bat that there is a piece in the glovebox and I walk without a ticket. I dont mean to open a can of worms, but it's hard to rectify.  The pickup is a big part.  The assumption of a working class average Joe.  But it helps when that Joe is white.  And that ain't right in my book.

So I appreciate your guys' input.  But I seriously am tempted to leave it stock.  It is ALMOST the right tone.  Id be happier with a little more grumble tone but I will not be happy with drone.  Any muffler seems like it would flow better because it wouldnt have the stupid hinged valve thing.  I cant even imagine what that's for. Increased EGT would be my guess.  There has to be a muffler out there that works, but I feel like I need to hear it on an L96 or at least an older 6 liter.

i believe all headers have been pulled off the market past year or two... it's probably more fed EPA mandates.  in the future the headers will most likey come with cats welded on them and probably cost 2-3X as much as old stock headers

Wtf are you talking about lol?

 

I believe that since the 2500 group is a tiny market they don't really make them. I think you may be able to use 1500 headers but I really am not sure.

i'm talking about header manufacters in general , the new stuff coming  has a catalytic converter on them. atleast when i was looking

 

1500 trucks are hard to find headers in 1 3/4 for some reason when i was looking for a set 4-6 months ago . price went up like crazy too .  I am located in a kommunist state so that might have been the issue i was running into. i called around and no one was shipping to my location
