What are you running? 4.3, 4.8, 5.3, 6.0? Any mods? 2wd? 4wd?

5.3 w/stainless steel Longtube headers and 3" true duals into flowmaster 40's,comp cam,CAI and it's a 2wd lowered 3/5. I was thinking of gutting the cats and doing 10 series flowmasters.

Thats a lot of pipe for a bolt on 5.3... you'd be better off with a dual 2.5" exhaust. Do you just want it to be louder?

I'm guessing it's 3" cuz that's what the previous owner told me but looking at it now I personally think it's 2.5" piping. Yeah I want it loud as hell lol.

I've heard people talking about resonators before and I'm clueless on what they are.

Not necessarily true. It takes alot more than a resonator or two to kill the cackle on a truck with headers & ORY with no muffler....

Don't even get me started on droan.
