"No-Drone" exhaust for Duramax

Russ Weaver · 02-16-2007, 12:59 PM

Hey guys (and gals if you're so inclined). What's a good, not loud, no-drone 4" exhaust system for the Duramax 6.6? I pull a fifth wheel for many miles at a time and I just can't go an exhaust system that drones under my a** all day! I hear tell that the Corsa system is the best and quietest, but it sells for $1,200 Cdn! Yeah, its all 304 SS and polished and all that good stuff, but it is a chunk of change...especially when I am also in need of an exhaust brake to the tune of $2,000 Cdn...
Any body got experience with this? How 'bout the exhaust brake? B-D? Pac-Brake? Banks?
Any input before I plunk down the bucks would be appreciated...

All though I don't own a Duramax, I've heard great things about "Banks".

Banks is good but pricey. any 4" with a free flowing muffler isn't really loud. I had my 7.3 straight piped with 4" pipe form the turbo back and before I started adding more mods it was not much louder than a stock 7.3. Regardless of who you use and I'm sure you know this already but you want S.S. You might be able to have a local exhaust shop give you a much better price for a "custom" install. Just my .02
