Exhaust question

Postby Ambully! [OP] » May 17 2012, 4:18pm

Hey yall

Went to get a cat back system yesterday and the shop said it would be a waste of money to buy the cat back because 2011 silverados/sierras already come with a 3" inch pipe. He said just a 1 in dual out would give me the same results.

Any truth to this?

Thanks

Sounds like he is right to me (assuming it has a 3" pipe to the muffler).

I just did a si/do muffler on mine. The muffler was 3 inch in so I assume they run 3 inch pipe from the factory. I would save some money on buying the system and y a muffler and pipe at the shop and let them do it like you want it done. With a catback system you don't have a whole lot of options on location of pipe exit.
