I am looking at replacing my exhaust since it has some holes in it and the emission people won't pass the truck visually.

I currently have a Raven Z55 single in / dual out (3"/2-2.5") and it sounds and runs fine. I called a well known exhaust company and was talking to a guy there and he said that if I want the best low end torque that I can get then I should be going with a single tail compared to the dual tail. Afterall, the truck is 2.5 tons and I want as much low-end TQ as possible. He suggested staying with stock size (2.5") or even go up to a 3" exhaust from the converter back. I was thinking about a dual set-up with an "X" pipe but my finances can't handle that cost, over $1200 CDN.

I was looking at the Magnaflow stuff but they don't make a complete stainless cat-back for my truck. I have found one at Bassani and it would match my shorty equal-length headers that I already have on the truck. Not sure if I should stay with stainless Magnaflow mufflers and get aluminum pipes or go with the complete stainless way.

Anyone have any suggestions or comments ???

Have Fun & Keep on Truckin'
