Why the hard feelings about the 6.0 Chevy?
So been doing a lot of research and reading because my towing has been relegated to my 2010 Suburban 2500. Yes it has the 6.0 which, IMO, runs pretty good, and tows fairly well too. Again, IMO, the en...

Dual 2.5" pipes. The stock muffler had large pipes, but internals on the stock muffler were only about 2 1/4" - 2.5". When the exhaust was first done they didn't put a H pipe in and it was even worse as well as to **** loud.

Cylinders on the same bank fire concurrently (2-6), while cylinders on the opposite bank fire with a long pause between two of them (7-x-x-5). This creates uneven pressure waves through a true dual exhaust system and disrupts the flow of gasses. Install a collector "Y" or "H" pipe in the system to even it out.
I have an 03 with the 6.0 and the worst upgrade I did was true dual exhaust. I lost power down low compared to the stock exhaust. I will go back to a single 3" when I need exhaust.
How big are the pipes? Did you run two 2.5" pipes? I was debating a full true-dual exhaust or just replacing the muffler with a Flo-Pro "big block" muffler.....
IF my memory serves me correctly, the newer trucks have a Y-collector somewhere after the second CAT and that goes into a 2.5" pipe to the muffler then out the rear? Or does it go into a dual in single out muffler?
