Just finished my exhaust on my 00 H.D., put on pacesetter long tubes, magnaflow hi flow converters, 4 new o2 sensors, 2.5" true duals to magnaflow DI/DO w/ x-pipe built into it, out to rear corners of truck. Sounds awesome and the torque increase is awesome. Just need a program now to tie in the rest of the mods I have on truck. Even with stock tune though, truck runs and sounds awesome

 

Thats pretty neat, must have set you back a good deal of cash.

 

how about some pics and a sound clip??

 

We need pictures please.

 

pictures!!

 

if you dont change the factory cats is there any real benifit to headers? also what will headers do for you as far as sound goes. newby question i know.... thanks in advance

 

How much different does it sound mike?

 

DirtyD im in a non emmision state so i dont have any cats. but i noticed taking my cats off and running just a pipe to mufflers it felt like there was more TQ there. i view cats Even hi-flow cats as very restricitive. but hi-flows deff work better than the stock ones.

Longtubes do give you alot more power. i noticed right away going from shortys to longtubes. then when i tuned it with longtube HOLY CRAP! its like i droped a 5.4 with these mods in. longtubes help but the computer knowing what to do helps A TON.

lets see some pictures

 

they make it so you can hear the cylinders fire individually a lil' better



and they broaden the torque curve...

 

I have been on here long enough to know better than to post without pictures, HAHA!! I have been lazy and I'm sorry. Winter months really get me down. I probably will post through youtube very soon. To give a little history, before I installed the pacesetter longtubes on, I already had 2.5" true duals going to the magnaflow DI/DO w/ x pipe built in on the truck... Getting rid of the 'y' pipe itself adds power/torque. The sound was pretty good. Now with longtubes on, exhaust tone is deeper and has so much more tone. Since I'm running stock tune, I know I gained some horsepower, but I really feel the difference in torque. Torque band is so equal now, I don't feel any flat spots in the RPM range. I'm getting better gas mileage too, of course I only have 2wd but throttle response is very responsive. I barely hit gas past quarter throttle now. Someone asked if this required alot of cash, I got the headers for $292, magnaflow hi flow $62 a piece, the muffler when I bought it was $135, 2 tail-pipes were around $60. Now I did break my bank a bit and installed new o2 sensors while I was putting the headers on.

 

I think I may have seen your video's

 

Nice man

 

yeah pacesetters nice and cheap also i belive they are the longest longtubes out of the 3. wish i would have took more time painting mine oh well rusty but no leaks i put them on a lil over a year ago. @ the time i got mine they were 284. never had a prob with pacesetter good company!

 

Who makes long tubes with 1 5/8 primaries and a 2.5 collector for a decent price?

 

You probably have, but those videos are when I had just made truck true dual but was running very bad thrush mufflers... I'm looking for my data cable so I can upload a sound clip or video
