Default Tricks for a 2006 Chevy silverado hd 2500

I have a 2006 chevy silverado hd 2500 just looking for tricks or little things I can do to make it louder or squeeze some power out of it without dumping a ton of money into it. Any ideas are greatly appreciated!!

PPE air box mod, straight pipe stock exhaust, PVC reroute, and maybe a Transgo Shift kit.

Theres a PDF for you that shows you what to do, works perfectly

Im running modded airbox/back yard straight pipe, EGR block plate and a 365rwhp tune and the truck runs and runs hard with virtually no smoke

I just google searched 'Duramax PVC re-route' and i came up with a few sites that showed you what to do and at least two companies that sell kits to do it

DRP 2004.5-10 GM 6.6L Duramax PVC Reroute Kit < re-route kit

I wont post links to other forums on here, but you can google it just like I did
