I'm not quite sure about that comment. Dual 2.5" pipes have almost 10 square inches of "flow area" while a single 3" is only about 7 square inches. However dual 2.5" pipes do have more surface area and thus will cause more flow restriction which equals it out some, but not sure if it equals out all.

hahahahaha 496truck epic fail hahahahaha
I've seen it in good sources and heard it from reliable people enough to believe it.
Also notice that GM went to single pipe on their diesels instead of the duals. Gotta be a reason...

ok i have a real live question for you guys.
when you put new bearings in the axle hub and you need to put new races in the hub assembly how do you get the bearing races in and out. is there like a stop in the hub so you drive it in to far or what.
should i buy a seal and race driving setup or can it be done with like a socket and a hammer

I've always done it with a brass punch and a hammer.
There's a lip the race seats against.

Eh, unless you have a crazy power engine both are known for durability. Blandness as well but still, not bad stuff.
