2009 Chevy Silverado 3500 Buildup - MBRP Exhaust

Bigger is better. That ethos works with pizza, salary, cup size, and by the looks of this monster Chevy dualie, trucks too. Wanting to find a heavy hauler to help anchor our dualie issue, we came across a '09 Chevy 3500 owned by long-time customizer Justin Veit, of Insane Kustoms in Phoenix. He wanted to give the Bow Tie a boost in altitude by way of a 6-inch RCD lift, Ready Lift 21/2-inch torsion keys, and new wheels/tires. Teaming with Insane Kustoms, we made our way our to Phoenix, only to watch firsthand a truck go from mild to wild. With the lift in place, huge 24-inch, 10-lug semi wheels from Ekstensive Metalworks were ordered, along with the 8 to 10-lug adapters. Those wheels are mounted inside Nitto Terra Grappler all-terrain tires sized LT315/50R24. Totaling 36.6 inches, the tires add to the Chevy's lift and overall brute appearance.

Keeping those wheels and tires churning is a 6.6L Duramax diesel. Strong right off the assembly line, Insane Kustoms wanted more, after all, bigger is better, right? Adding an intake kit from S&B Filters and an exhaust from MBRP helped the turbo breathe easier. S&B is quickly rising the filter ladder with quality parts, high-flow filters, and the best instructions on the market. MBRP knows a thing or two about diesels, and their particulate filter-back exhaust system is made out of T-304 stainless but doesn't break the bank. This super-sized fantastic four was handled at Desert Rat Off-Road Center in Phoenix. We brought them an all-stock Chevy dually and left with a huge rig fit for a giant. If your hauler is in need of a performance boost or you just want your very own monster truck, give the companies a call and tell them Truckin' sent you. If bigger is better, this thing should pretty much be the bomb.

Arriving at Desert Rat Off-Road Center in Phoenix, head installer Reuben quickly got to work on the factory exhaust. It was just a matter of removing the bolts from the muffler and pulling the OE piping free.

Taking a look at the MBRP exhaust, the kit included a straight pipe to delete the muffler, mandrel-bent 4-inch T-304 stainless tubing, and a polished 5-inch exhaust tip.

On went the head pipe...
...and then Reuben slid the rear pipe over the axle.
After both pipes were in the perfect position, each clamp was tightened and the 5-inch polished exhaust tip was slid in place.
