True dual exhaust


Recommended Posts

Posted

Any one know of true dual exhaust kits I can mail order for my 6.0?  Or must I get two flowmasters, and go to a muffler shop.

I have been looking for the same thing. They have them for the 5.3 and the 4.8 ,but they have single inlet mufflers. With the 6.0L we have a dual inlet muffler. I have sent email to gibson borla and flowmaster . None of them make a kit for the 6.0L . You can get a split rear but know true duals. I done some checking though and a true dual done at a muffler shop

is going to cost you around 300 buck or less. Let me know if you find something else

:D

I wonder if this muffler from DynoMax would be a correct fit for the 6.0L Guys...  ???  The stock muffler on my 6.0L has a can that is 25" long.  The part #17515 would be a little short, but a small spacer pipe could be added.

ok now were are getting some where. You ad reducers or a cross over in front of the muffler . find a tail pipe to go out the other side ( just have the muffler shop do that part, much cheaper)Waalaa dual exhaust. food for thought

Heck,  I was thinking just the muffler from DynoMax would do the job...  (granted it wouldn't be duals), but we already have a beautiful 3 1/2" ID slash cut tailpipe on the 6.0L that would be more than capable to carry the flow out the rear.  :D

I have been looking at Banks.  They have some really nice (and expensive ~$500) cat backs.

 

A custom setup from an exhaust shop will usually be much cheaper, but you probably can't get mandrel bends and stainless steel.

I bought a Hooker Aero Chamber muffler, from Summit for less than $70, with dual 2 1/2" inlets and one 3" outlet. It took 2 - 2 1/4" x 2 1/2" adapters on the front and a 3"x 2 3/4" for the rear. Cost to install = $18.

Hooker also makes a dual in, dual out Aero Chamber. I went with the first one concerned about loosing low-end. I haven't driven enough miles to see if MPG has improved.

Please, for the love of god, use a cross over pipe.

 

You will equalize pressure between the two cylinder banks and gain torque and throttle response from it.

 

I'm just tired of people thinking that "true dual" pipes that never connect are the best thing around.  Tests have proven them wrong.

I'm just gonna pass my 2 cents on about my Dynomax experiance. I had the 17228 Ultraflow welded muffler on my truck, with and with out dumps and I did not like the cab resenonce at highway speeds. I do think it was a kick butt performing muffler, but just not to my liking. I went with true dual Magnaflows and have no complaints.

I'm not interested in having any cab resonance.  I wonder if the DynoMax dual in dual out muffler would be the same?

 

Does anyone else know of an aftermarket muffler that would be dual in dual out?  I don't really want to hack up my stock exhaust very much, and would like to just replace the "can"...

    • No I didn’t watch a video of a person who analyzes oil for a living explain general oil usage. For clarity I did ask my brothers one who runs our equipment business. The other who runs our old ROW business about oil usage. Nothing has changed since I retired. Their personal vehicles or work vehicles use no oil. Not enough to see on the oil checking device. Then I pondered. I like to ponder. In this extended oil changing world with oil change countdowns or lights. If engines used say a qt every 2500 miles or up to even 4000 miles. With oil changes reaching as high as 15000 miles. Normal for most people is eight to ten. Vehicles should potentially be seizing up all over the place. Especially in hilly terrain. Just how many people actually check their oil? Maybe 10 percent. Those are the people that probably change their oil early. I like to research used car listings. I have five favorite dealers I check. They all list carfax with their listing. It’s rare to see vehicles with anything but extended oil changes. Transmission service, forget about it. I’ve seen Honda and Toyota certified vehicles up to 100K miles and ten years old. With nothing but normal maintenance. Isn’t nice we all have different experiences and believe our way is the best. You certainly get backup for whatever you believe. Life would be boring otherwise.
    • Interesting rumor. Dealers near me have been tight-lipped so far, but if this reveal actually happens next week, I'm really hoping they finally give the HD a proper interior overhaul. The competition has been eating their lunch in the cabin department for a while now.
    • There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well.   I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing. 
    • I dont care what Lake says. Goodnight. 
    • Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption.   Shut up and watch:
