027700, great pics! Looks like that will flow much better than that factory cluster. I looked at mine last night... wow, i never looked that close at it before, but it's got to be yanked out and re-worked. Nice looking truck!

Thanks Uncle Jesse! You will really notice a difference when you look at the 2 Y-pipes side by side off the truck. The factory one is very restricted. It looks as though it is reduced down to about 1 1/2 inches where the left dumps into the right. Big difference. The installer did a pretty good job as well, the welds look good and with the O2 sensor relocation.

I did the mag flow Y pipe and a Dynomax bullet muffler today. What a difference. I was running the stock system into a flowmaster then duals out the back. no low end, sloppy shifts and poor midrange.

After the install, Y pipe into a bullet out the back to the stock exit location. I use less throttle running around town, my shift points are higher and firmer and the truck still runs great on the top end. The most impressive change with the new Y pipe is the engine is a lot smoother.

My tone of the truck is mellower with a great sound, a lot less in cab noise.

Thanks for this thread!! If you're on the fence, do it.

From my understanding, keeping with a single exit rather than duals will do this. Any opinions or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Update, Running 20" wheels (275/60/20) after the change, I can actually spin these babies. Much better torque from dead stop.

now for gearing! 4.11 ot 4.56? Off to the gear section!

Thanks a million for the info, guys.
