That's just it since I have an SS so which ever direction I take it is going to definitely cost me some money.

Yea, that's what I'd like to get too...they're not sure if they'll fit the 99-02's yet, and I don't have the cash yet. I emailed SW and they said they'd be willing to refund me if they don't fit, just have to pay for shipping...nice deal IMO.

I have looked at the engine compartments of our year model trucks and my buddies 03 and they look to have the same clearances I think they will work Im going to take the gamble as soon as I get the money.

If you look at the price of the SW with the y pipe & cats they offer it is about the same as the dyna's. I dont know much about cats but the SW cat looks like it would flow better then the dynas more conventional design. SW do offer the ory as an alternative which would save some money. Real winters mean salt so a stainless y would make way more sense than just cheap pipe.

The dyna's, looking at the pics side by side with the SW, appear to be slightly longer in the primaries witch seem to account for the hump on the drivers side that everyone seems to hate along with the more extreme bends. They also have more applications at the present time so you can get the true dual style of the 2500,s. Both systems are big $ and other than some fitment problems on the early dyna y pipes Ive only seen good things about both. Spend now or later cuz that salt will rust anything else.

I dont need the y-pipe I have true duals and that would just be a huge bottle neck for upcoming mods. I like the quality of the the SW headers and the headers themselves are cheaper than Dynas.

That's good to know...I'm pretty confident that they'll fit too. I don't have A.I.R., and my EGR is deleted since I have the 02 PCM, so I know that won't be an issue (I don't think that the SW's have provisions for either)
