I take it ATS is frowned upon in this scenario. I have heard a lot of good thoughts on suncoast, but I am still exploring options at this point. i appreciate everyones help and opinions!! Anyone else??

Not that im for or against ATS but what did they do to get so much negative attention? I though they were a decent company. (However I'm also going to run a suncoast tranny)

From what I remember they were involved in some very nefarious business practices, I heard horror stories about guys running their gear and having it break right away with no honoring of the warranty due to "misuse" of something that was advertized to be able to take abuse....

one guy I know had a lot of issues with his ATS parts as well

not to mention their ratting on other companies to the EPA building emissions deletion kits(this was alleged, but from what I hear about the owner of ATS it is most likely true)

plus there are better products out there for much better prices, and they dont have that ugly purple paint all over them:argh:

Thanks for the information. I had heard mixed feeling about them but I put ATS in a category with Banks as over-rated and over priced products. That being said, the Banks Monster dual exhaust w/ muffler on my dad's 04 LB7 does sound very nice. (Was on truck when bought)

to be honest most all diesel kits sound pretty much the same because they use the same straight through style of muffler, dual systems from anyone else would sound just as good, and cost you less:tu:

Ya probably but it was on there when he bought it so we didn't have much choice there. :w2:

Does anyone know if straight piped Dmaxs sound good? My 17 year old brothers 95 12 valve Do*g$ and my 60 or 70 something neighbors 97 power stroke both have straight piped exhausts on them and I love them both for the deep rumbling sound. Did anyone notice that the powerstroke I mentioned is owned by a 60 something or 70 something year old put a straight pipe on his truck? He is a teenager trapped in an old mans body.

Back to the subject..... Thanks to everyone for their time and info!!!:tu:

I love the way mine sounds

Is there any sound difference between LLY and LBZ?

shouldn't be much, the LLY shares the same Garrett VGT, and thats what really makes the exhaust sound so distinct
