View Full Version : 6.2 Exhaust System Alternatives?

Greetings,

The stock dual exhaust on my 91 Suburban NA 6.2 is getting pretty rusty and leaky, so I'm wondering what to do about replacing it.

I've heard about the banks stinger system, though at $600 +shipping that sounds a bit steep (especially for just plain aluminized pipe). I've also not had much luck finding listings for the stock exhaust system or other alternatives.

I've also heard that despite the common wisdom that dual exhausts breath better, that this may not always be the case particularly with the diesels, though an "H" pipe or "X" pipe is supposed to help this.

What I'm trying to find is the best combination of good breathing and not making everyone in the sub or outside of it deaf from the exhaust roar.

So, I'm wondering what kind of reccomendations
folks here might have for replacing a stock 6.2 exhaust? What's worked for you, and what hasn't?

TIA for any and all responses.

I am just after making my own 3" dual with cross over and four silencers. Not the quietest in the world but why would you want to hide that lovely exhaust sound. To be honest it is not deafening either.

I've put 2 1/2" dual straight pipes on a couple of my 6.2's & 5.7 Diesels in my younger days. My latest system is dual #40 Flowmasters.
