Question for Chevy dually guys.
I have a 1994 Chevy dually with a 454, throttle body, stock exhaust. I want to put a different exhaust on it to get a little better milage and best performance for towing I can get. This thing needs all it can get!.
What is the best way to do it without putting headers on it? Cat Back? From cat converter back, duals ? Thanks for your help. Tony

Well Tony, I think that's the nature of the beast.
I get about 6 mpg with mine and have duel exhaust no converters but don't have the headers if that helps............ |

Go with the duramax in an 06' or newer GMC or Chevy with the 6-speed allison transmission and you'll get more power plus better mileage.

Re: Question for Chevy dually guys.
I had a '96 GMC single rear wheel pickup.....Vortec 454. It had decent power and towed fine. I bought it new and it served me well untill last Sept. I towed a box trailer with various cars inside and also have a pickup camper I used. Mileage was about 10+ towing just the trailer....add the camper and it would get about 9.....
I sold it and bought a 2007 Duramax.......Wow what a difference!......No comparison.....power and mileage.....It tows my trailer like it's not even there....and that is not an exaggeration......Gets 12+ towing and back and forth to work......and better on the highway......I loved my old truck but my Duramax is way better....
