That is AWESOME. I'm glad I could help you out. I recommend them when ever someone brings up headers/exhaust.. You cant beat there price for sure and they are great guys to deal with to.
Yeah, gave me a chubby hahaha. Sounds awesome man.
Mine may be taking that same hit sooner than I was expecting.

Do you think it's worth it to get the long tube headers with the Y-Pipe, or just the headers? Curious cause at $350 for both it's very enticing
It depends if you want to lose the cats . Actually you'll have to either get the y pipe with the cats or without the headers won't work with the factory y pipe .

Thanks for the info. I guess whenever the time comes, I'll get the headers and y-pipe. Hopefully my neighbors won't hate me too much when that time comes haha
My neighbors already hate me lol I drive a loud duramax with a built motor and I've had it torn apart in the driveway many times lol I finished her headers and stuff about 4 am and started it lol cold starts are REALLY loud !

Yeah duramax's are lots of fun and very loud with the right mods haha. My tahoe is already fairly loud with a flowmaster Super 40, and here in Georgia, it's been down in the 50's in the morning, so I finally got a taste of a "cold" start earlier this week, and was surprised at the difference temperature makes in the sound. Makes me wonder just how loud it'll be with the headers.
Loud ! Lol

What's better, 1 3/4 or 1 7/8? And would it be a negligeable difference? Looking to put these on my 03 that's getting a 6.0 soon.
Depends on your mods. I would say if you're going to stay mild with your mods 1 3/4 would be fine

Thx, I'm not gonna go crazy, just a cam and headers. I read you can use a stock LS3 cam for some cheap horsepower. Did I read correctly?
Video Time:
That's a video of a built 400 CI chevy with 1 5/8, 1 3/4, and 1 7/8 headers being run on it to see which size works best. For comparison, the 6.2L only comes out to about 379 Cubic inches.
For our engines, 5.3L - 6.2L, I would look past 1 3/4" headers unless you have a big power adder. Personally, unless I found that the stock manifold primaries are bigger than 1.5", I would probably go with the 1 5/8 to see if I could hold onto a little more of the bottom end torque.

I tuned them out.
