    new mufflers or LTs?

    thinking about finally getting around to working on the truck.
    Haven't had the time or money lately, but looking to update my exhaust.

    right now i've got a true dual set up, 2.5" with 2 flowmaster 40 series mufflers.
    stock manifolds.

    I started off thinking that i'd like to try some spintech or maybe magnaflow mufflers instead. But I'm wondering if my money wouldn't be better spent getting some LT's

    What do you guys think?
    The truck is my DD (mods in sig) and i don't plan on going much further with it anytime real soon.

    i had actually looked at those same headers just a couple days ago.

    They raise a couple questions though. would i be better off sticking with the 2.5" true dual setup, or using the supplied y-pipe, and going back to a 3" SI/SO setup.
    If i decide to stay with the true duals, does anyone know if you can find those for sale without the y-pipe?

    FWIW, if i stay with the true duals, i was eventually wanting to get an x or h pipe in there and some better mufflers.

    I would swap to the single and use the supplied ypipe. I have them and they are very nice. The quality is outstanding for the money. I also like single exhaust. A single 3" is good to a little north of 400 horse before it becomes restrictive. Just my 2 cents.

    My old setup was the factory piping, into a SI/DO flowmaster, and i'm kinda partial to having the dual tips exiting out the back. What are the pros and cons of going to another SI/DO vs a SI/SO?
