I am in need of a new exhaust for my crew cab. The entire system is original and is in bad shape. I figure now is the time to replace the puny pipes with something a little more free-flowing, but I don't have much time to fabricate anything. I've found several systems that are 2.25" to 2.5" mandrel bent and are the full system that bolts to the manifolds. I also tried to look at the Banks "Stinger" system, but the only price I found was expen$ive :eek:

Any thoughts/recommendations on a nice fitting aftermarket exhaust that won't take me long to install?

Thanks!

Where did you find the kit for the 2.5" mandrel besides the 3" mandrel single exhaust offered in the Bank$ kit?

Any plans for a turbo? If not, go with a dual 2.5" mandrel system with an H pipe after the transmission to be used as a balance pipe. But, since your truck is soo long, you might want to upgrade to the 3" :D

The 2.5" is a Hooker Super Comepetition setup designed for a small block that I figured could be easily adapted to the 6.2, but all of the others are 2.25" systems.

I have actually never priced the Banks Stinger system, but I might check it. I really don't have a lot of time to hassle with installation.
