Another New Guy

New to the forum. Just picked up an 05 GMC 2500HD a few months ago. Looking to pick up some performance and maintenance tips on the LLY, starting with the exhaust.

Had to throw this first post in here to pick up the XDP discount while I go about my searches for more power

Welcome to the DF. And before the Exhaust or with it, I'd do this: Performance, Intakes, Thermal Feedback, LLY Mouthpiece It fixes a major GM design flaw on the intake.
