Just got an 05 denali xl with the 6.0, and ordered a spectre cold air intake. Next I would like to do an exhaust I dont want it to be loud but still sound nice when you step on it. It has to be able to go on long road trips without being annoying. But i also want something much less restrictive then stock to help my gas mielage. I was thinking about about just swapping mufflers to a magnaflow and a nice tip (about $200). Is that going to be a good set up or should i consider ordering a full cat back system? I'm on a budget :)

Also without going the cutom tune route, what programmers do you guys reccomend?

Cool, i planned on picking up a magnaflow performance muffler from auto anything, bout $65. What size pipe does the 6.0 exhaust have stock? When under the trick is there 2 cats and then a resonator? I like the corsa dual tip that comes with their cat back system, is there any other companies that have a similar tip that won't break the bank? Thanks for all the help

these guys are on the right track for a budget build for sure. Can't really beat the pricing on magnaflow for a full stainless muffler

Cora's is wayy to much. What's a good dual in single out muffler for as cheap as possible? Or should I get a y pipe and a single in single out muffler?

Which is the resonator? I've seen multiple views. Does it look like the muffler? On my old truck it was clear which it was but I haven't studied the Denali exhaust yet.
