I'm Awesome
I didn't get many pictures as I was so busy running around and getting all of the parts, but I basically swapped things back to stock. Or what a stock 2006ish truck would have had factory since the engine is a 2006. I added back in some catalytic converters from Flowmaster, part number 222 in 2.5". Since I had bad luck with the Dynamax muffler with the sound absorbing material blowing out, I wanted one that was even a little more quiet that just simply had baffling. I opted for a Walker Queitflow SS (part 21533) that had dual 2.5" inlets, and a single 3" outlet. It worked out great, because I had some left-over 3" piping from when I did the exhaust on my 1968 Camaro, so I was able to make a nice tail-pipe that exits behind the passenger rear wheel, similar to stock.
Overall I'm extremely happy with the set-up now. Both the muffler that was on it when I bought the truck and the Ultraflo X were both louder than I'd like and both had pretty bad exhaust drone at around 1800-2500 rpms. Not good when the truck cruises at that rpm. The cats cleaned up that slight exhaust fume that was coming into the truck so I'm thrilled.
I have to give kudos to Autozone for the quick delivery of the Walker muffler. I ordered the muffler at noon on Friday, and had the muffler by noon on Saturday! Best part is that it was a free service!
I'd like to get a 60* turn out for the tail pipe to exit at an angle rather than straight back and get a nice chrome tip for it. I'll do that in good time though.
