This is the first 2500 HD I have every owned and would really like to put dual exhaust on it, but was wondering what the best exhaust for the money would be? BTW it has the 6.0L. I really like the way it sounds now, not extremly loud, but you can definately hear it.

 

I would like to pair this up with a cold air intake, but not sure if doing either of these will void any warranties?

:D

hello there l have a 2006 hd sierra, what you truck guys are missing is that when your catalytic converters plugup your exhaust is not working very well,l'm thinking of magnaflow catback system,l know there is some cutting of the pipes but they don't offer what l'm after,so look's like l'll be cutting some of pipe no problem.l know the sound will come out great!don't be scared to change out your catalytic converters too.l had a 97 chevy sliverado and change the cats with new flow-master big differance.sold the truck milage was high sorry to let go but l'm happy with my new beast.when add cold with exhaust you will notice a big differance in power!there is no need for power chips or programers you can achive stock power with exhaust and cold-air intakes.

For what it's worth my 02 came with full length duals and only cats to tone anything down. In a way that was good as I knew how to compare it to using a muffler. We put a Magnaflow dual in dual out 3". It splits off each side and has 4" stainless Magnaflow tips behind the rear wheels. The fit was very nice with lots of clearance all around.

 

Keep in mind I have the 8.1 and 6spd manual. On an idle it is fairly mellow, as soon as you accelarate it gets fairly mean sounding.

Most of the time when I shift it coughs or pops which I was hoping it would not do. At highway speeds it drones a bit. It is more than I wanted but as a bonus it puts the kids to sleeps very effectively. It has a wide open x chamber for both pipes to crossover.

 

One possible negative is depending on how the duals are run out the back will determine how or if your spare is going to fit under the truck after. Guess I need to make a bracket to hang mine on the front bumper. :thumbs:

That's the other reason I am removing this dual system. One pipe hits the spare. It's not worth the noise and other problems to keep. I don't believe the stock system is any worse for performance.

No doubt, now I have to try and fit a slip tank, a quad and a spare tire in the back for the camping trips. Where's my lawn chair to go? :thumbs: Will have too sit in the truck....

I got a magnaflow dual 3 in 3 out x body, my truck has no power when climbing, won't go into passing gear until it hits 40 to 45 miles an hour. The soung is great. i am wondering if the back pressure is to much or to little, the truck came with dual 3in. in 3in. out then into single 3.5 out. wtf is this was it for torque? I am lost for words for what has happened can any one help!!!!

Been looking around and talkig to techs seems the vortec 6.0 loves back pressure I was advised to try a dual 3inch to single 3 inch y pipe to try and get a little more back pressure. I am wondering if i am barking up the wrong tree. Could i have my shift points changed instead or a combination of the two? I love magna flows sound and qualityany comments for this would be appreciated

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
