Default RE: 2007 Chevy Silverado 5.3 performance upgrade questions

I installed the 63 series intake on it,and I decided on the flowmaster 50 series delta flow.

i'm probably going to take it in to a shop to get everything installed.

idecided on a dual exhaust, but what kind of pipes should i look into getting. what manufacturer out there makes
the best dual exhaust setups?

inluding the cost of parts and labor how much would this cost?

If your not picky about the pipes being mandrel bent, then let the shop do all the pipes, and they can bend then any way you want, out the sides, straight out the back, what ever. That what I had done on my '70 ford and it turned out great.

go carberated and get rid of all the emissions and engine control bull... but only if you can get past an emissions test or your state dont require it.. besides it looks cool if you open a hood of a newer truck and there sites a edelbrock carb. besides it cleans up the engine bay getting rid of all those ugly wire harnesses

I belive Volant makes a great CAI and Exhaust combo. Both are tested on the dyno together to make sure thay don't interfear with each other. What people don't realize is that K&N, AEM, Airaid all get their Dyno results with the hood open. In the real world, that is not practical. On the open designs, engine heat is sucked in which cuts power. Volant is a closed design with air ports pointed in the most optimal direction for greater perfoemance.

Thats why I like S&B because they have closed box system like Volant plus it was cheaper without sacraficing quality.
