I found a link to it. http://www.autoanything.com/products...aspx?p_id=1898

What are you looking to accomplish with a new exhaust system? This looks like a good all around upgrade.

Be aware, a friend of mine put a gibson exhaust on his 00 2500HD and it kept burning up the rear O2 sensor. He went through 3 before putting the factory exh back on the truck, and never had another problem with it. This is the only time I've ever heard of something like this but it is something you may want to consider. Another friend of mine has a 04 2500HD and at 6k miles had a custom exh done at Lou's (Plymouth) with a singe inlet/dual outlet Flowmaster 3 chamber. He's got almost 40k miles on the truck now without a single issue. Just some food for thought...

Where is the rear O2 sensor at on that engine?

It was in the cat. The bolt on Gibson didn't even touch or come near it and nothing was modified up to and including the cat. It was a strange thing but he no longer owns that truck and has since upgraded to a 06 2500HD diesel and has already put a Banks exh on that. He really likes the new one and routinely pulls his 30 something foot 5th wheel camper around with it.

thx for the info..I have had good luck with Gibson before but i was actually looking at Lous in Brockton to get a price quote...thing is money is an issue so if they cant match or come close to that ill go with the Gibson

It was 500 installed for Flowmaster or 525 for Magnaflow if I remember correctly... They do good work though. I had them do my camaro exhaust and it came out really nice.
