Any you fellas running an H pipe in your dual exhausts? Been so long since I had something with true duals....no idea.

I have heard adding an H pipe "balances" the exhaust.....is it worth it?

I am not. Was just to lazy and in a hurry to get the truck driveable as my burbans life was geting shorter (my daily at the time) long tubes, no cats, true duals, pair of flowmaster super 44s and dump just before the rear. Exhaust doesnt even come out from under the truck. I may add an H later.
What you see in the pic is what it has, those 90° elbows are the end of my pipe.

Again here I go with Engine Masters. But an H and X are both better than straight pipes. H pipe won in tq by 2 H.P. and the X won in H.P. by like 2. Nothing you would ever feel.

I just like seeing the comparisons on the dyno by engine masters and they love the Chevy. Lol

Way cheaper and if you dont intend or want to go loud often a much better choice. Plus one less thing to go wrong electrically.

I had them off to replace the gaskets when I first got the truck, but sadly I've never had them off since then. I honestly always forget they are even there.

The guy that does my exhausts (all stainless and incredibly affordable) lets me bring him what I want as far as mufflers, cats, etc. as his stuff is all pretty much generic stock replacement. Just wondering so I'd know to get a couple of 3" T's as this sounds like a decent idea.

Thanks fellas.
