    First and foremost I heavily modify everything I own...so this is not going to be a bolt on thread by any means. I'm looking at doing things once so Magnuson, headers, exhaust, and proper tuning that I don' have to mess with beyond regular mainteance (I have procharged 2008 Z06, Magnuson Trailblazer SS, and a compound turbo diesel Silverado so I know maintenance is relative). Recommendations on vendors and general list of "these headers....that exhaust" greatly appreciated. I also have a 3000sqft shop with 4 lifts so all mods will be done in house :)

    Thanks for the info in advance

    Not nearly enough room here!
    Call 1-760-877-4234 and ask for Keith. Tell him your SC/Header/Exhaust System and Tuning plans. You'll get great advise, from a guy who can make it happen!

    Welcome!

    What twin kit on your Duramax? I had MPI twins on my old LMM.

    Thanks for the mentions guys.

    This is going to sound weird to a guy with as much experience as you have hot rodding vehicles as you clearly have.

    There is no need to deviate from stock exhaust manifolds when using a tvs1900 or any other twin screw available for a 5.7 regardless of what you read on the internet. And regardless of what any new wannabe tuner might post up or tell you.

    We simply do not push enough boost to justify the expense of new exhaust. I can promise you won’t see any bigger numbers on the dyno. Or faster times at the track, that are real.

    Now if you were keeping is NA that is a whole different ball game.

    Give a call for further details.
