    What too do? HELP!!!!!

    Got a 2007 silverado 2500 HD Regcab long bed 6.0 v8
    I dont kno much about this thing so i need some help finding out what the best engine mods are.
    They dont make a cat back exhaust yet so i took the muffler and tail pipe off and put a flowmaster muffler on.
    What else can i do?

    And how different is my motor compared to the 6.0 in the GTOs

    Thanks

    start searching, there are tons to do to them start with a tune and swap the flows for magnaflow they are proven for more power.

    They make one. I'm pretty sure if you take it to an exhaust shop and tell them you want a magnaflow on it they will get you the right one for what you want.

    Buy a prebent diesel tailpipe. You don't want a mufflershop hack bending a tailpipe for you. By the time they get done squeezing it down you'll be lucky to have a 2.25" diameter pipe at the bends.
