My question is how much pipe tubing would i need to get the job done?? Not sure how much you will need but the factory pipe size is 2 3/4" on the cat back to the muffler.

alex.t Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) just measure how long the truck is from the wheel back if your exiting near the back , add a few extra feet (x2 because its dual) and then you'll know you'll have extra. how are you bending it ?

zachm89 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 i dont recommend dual 3" pipes at all...flows way too much for the motor and sounds like crap. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex.t Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 if the piping is still good in your truck, you should just save your self some cash because they flow plenty for the mods you have listed, and just get a nice di/do muffler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firehawknwv Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Ive been told dual 3" is overkill on our truck until you start making bigger power with cam/heads etc. I belive most on here are running dual 2.5 with or without cats. Im going with dual 2.5 all the way back after the LT install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
