like I said up a few posts. This was an oxidizr special evolution, he deserves all the credit
I am/was really lucky to know a guy like him who is as detail oriented as myself. He surely did not have to TIG weld the exhaust system but chose to do so because that's the way he does things. Do it right, do it once.All involved = Richard(exhaust engineer) and myself(gopher)

One thing that really surprised me is how powerful the exhaust pulses are in this 6.0L
They vibrate several rooms in the house on first fire

update: I just got back from some WOT runs to check my AFR and it doesn't seem to out of wack. The dynojet showed 12.8-1 WOT up a hill. Not perfect, but I am not nearly as worried about going lean now.
For those that want some exterior pics, I'll get those up tonight for ya

After looking at my stock cats and the way they are constructed (round) I figured round was a better way to make something that goes through huge temperature swings. Those round one's you've got might be worth a try. I just need to get better service out of them! I ended up welding 3" pipes to my stock ones, but that's not right. (Stock ones holding up fine BTW)

Grip- That's an absolutely beautiful setup. The only thing I'm not sold on is the side exit. I think I'd run them all the way out the back with both tips together on one side. I've never been a fan of in front of the back tire exhaust though so it might just be me.

You are 100% correct. the side exit on the HD just doesn't quite fit. I will be headed back out to rework the setup next Saturday with Richard. I'm just not sure which out the back exit would look the best and I'm also considering no exhaust tips, thoughts?
