First off, a little background. I am preparing the truck in my signature for the installation of a Radix MP112 with 3.1" pulley. I would like to keep interior cruise drone to 0 if possible, I already have to much of that when I drive my sport compact to work everyday. So below are a few plans, please respond if I am doing something that will hinder the trucks performance or if you know of a better way of doing things. Thanks. Updated 11/12/07- See attached exhaust gas analysis if interested.

- Doug's mid-length CARB legal headers with 2.5" collector or *Updated 11/12/07 - I just ordered a set of AEM Brute Force model# CHC7602 headers off of their EBAY closeout store.

- 2 Carsound California OBDII legal 2.5" oval body cats - welded to 6.0 SS or Denali style cat pipes.

-Single 3" from y-pipe back to a dynomax bullet into a hooker Aerochamber to a tip under the right rear bumper. *Updated 11/12/07 - I took the plunge and ordered a Magnaflow #15838 for the Denali and SSS trucks. I decided to go pre-fab for something a little quicker.

I'm looking to do this right the first time, and would like to not have interior drone at cruise if possible. Thanks for the help,

I am still trying to find the 6.0 SS or Denali pipes from the manifold to the intermediate pipes (just before the muffler), any one know where I could pick some up?

I could have the welding shop at work weld up a few mandrel bends, but I can't find a O.E. style two bolt 2.5" ?male? style exhaust flange to save my life! Anyone know where I could purchase one? I'd like to be able to hook up to my new Magnaflow exhaust with stock connections, I know I am probably being too **** on this.

I have attached my exhaust gas analysis from the recent smog inspection for review.

Now I'm just waiting on some bolts, gaskets, and flanges. Pics are included for your viewing pleasure.

Well I finally got this all installed, about 9 months ago, thanks to the cat pipes I acquired from Posi 12 bolt, great guy/seller by the way! Him and his buddies helped me remove them from a wrecked Chevy Silverado SS that he was parting out, the *** end was laying on the ground so it was a bitch getting under the truck.

Anyhow, I finally got a chance to take video of the truck with the exhaust complete, and I must say it is pretty darn quiet. No in cab drone, nice acceleration note, somewhat subdued. There is a weird whistle sound that comes in on accel above 50% throttle position that I can't quite figure out, you can hear it in the videos. Enjoy!
