HI There,
I just got set up on this. Ive been reading diesel power mag for 2.5 years and just got my own 2006 duramax LLY about a month ago. I don't know much yet but was wondering if a turbo back straight pipe is legal in Pennsylvania on an 06. whats the best exhaust for good flow and that nice rich turbo diesel sound. Also i was wondering if anyone had advice on programmers IE: Edge Juice, Banks, Bully Dog, etc....? How can i get good mpg?? currently 15 city 19 hwy.

thanks fellas  

Hi and welcome 2 diesel power. Congrats on the new ride. I believe someone else posted that it was legal 2 have straight pipes in PA. As far as exhaust, I have a MBRP 4in turbo back with the 4in downpipe. It has good flow and an awesome sound. And for programmers i would stick with PPE, Edge, EFI Live. But there are others that are good 2. Good luck and congrats on the new oil burner  

Hi and welcome. I have an 07 classic 2500hd c/c LBZ. I have been running my truck in ca. for 10 months no cat. no muffler with 4" pipe only sound I get at idle is an jet engine sound or vacuum cleaner sound in reverse. 24 mpg with K&N cold air injection and superchips programmer in encomy mode. 6" procomp lift and 35x12.50x17 m/t tires.  

ANY PICTURES OF READER RIDES WITH SNUGTOPS??????????  

hi welcome. i have a 04 lly duramax with a bd 4inch turbo back exhaust with edge attitude and bd intake. i also have a bullydog power pup. i like the turbo back but i have high egts with the higher settings. for the programmer i would go with bullydog i get 24mpg but the edge attitude is awsome for reading temps.  

Hey DieselPower06,

Thanks for the info. I thought it was legal to do it in PA but wanted somebody else's opinion. Im guessing that you have mbrp's muffler on your truck? or did u remove it? did the new downpipe help out a lot?? as far as programmers i think i am goin with edge.

Thanks  

Thanks everyone else to for your info and ideas. Im gonna get started on this stuff as soon as i get some more dough together. LOL  

Yeah i still have the muffler on but i put the 4in downpipe on. It make alot more noise with the cat off. Good sound and good mpg. good luck
