Welcome to the diesel world. You are going to love your truck. I had a predator with my truck before I got EFI Live and for the time it was great. I also read alot of good things about it for the LBZs.

Like was already said, I would check out dieselplace.com, great site for the duramax.

youll love the 5''MBRP! Get the turbo back pipe and lose the Kitty! Awesome Jet plane turbo sound and growl when you get on it, nice and mellow when your just cruising.

Yeah, trying to talk the wife into it... its on ebay for about $515 with a free stainless 6" tip... turbo back kit with no cat. Any links to soundclips of it? Sound pretty good?

That's a great Deal. But if i were you i would buy it in 2 "kits". I bought the cat back kit with a Cat delete pipe. This way i can remove the cat delete pipe and reinstall my converter if need for servicing. I also ordered the Muffler delete pipe as well. Buying this way was 10$ cheaper than just buying the Turbo back kit. The sound is AWESOME!!!!! Its got the most angriest Growl at throttle youve heard! Nothing like it on the road, but is stock quiet under cruising or easy accelartion, just a little bit more rumble than stock. The best part is when it is idleing especially in high idle, it sounds like a 747 on a runway! I get looks and thumbs up everywhere i go! Its AWESOME!

So you're saying to buy a catback, then a cat delete pipe, and also a muffler delete pipe and it will be cheaper than that one on ebay? Where'd you get the stuff at?

Welcome! The LBZ is proving to be the "hotrod" of the diesel trucks. We have gotten 530rwhp with nothing but tuning and a 4" exhaust. At LACR (high altitude dragstrip) we just ran a first effort of 13.5 @ 100.x, and are aiming at 12's in the near future.
