Do it yourself, I did mine on my 6.7 with my buddy in a weekend, it wasn’t that bad. YouTube is your friend!
It is easy, ordered my new exhaust from alligator performance in Idaho, had it to my house in 3 days.  with the edge chip and no muffler or cat, my mileage went up a lot! love it and it's not that much louder, no smoke either off my duramax.  Should have done this years ago!  The exhaust was only about 300 bucks.  Since this pic my mileage has gone up to 17.6, was 11.5 ish.

Had mine done a few months back because I had so many issues with sensors in my duramax going out all the time and throwing me in limp mode. I literally had my truck at the dealership for a month and a half the final time. Cost me 1500 bucks they slapped a new air system in it and told me it was good to go. Didn’t even get home and I was in limp mode again. Come to find out it was a factory recalled sensor 😡. I found a mechanic that a bunch of my buddies have used and took it to him at his house as a side project. I bought all the parts and he did all the work for 500$. I would suggest finding a situation like that because any shop I contacted wanted 1000-1500$ for labor. Truck is awesome now! 5 mpg better fuel economy and a ton more power. Truck runs and feels great. Should have seen the black chunky crap fly out the exhaust when we first started it after work was completed. I am a firm believer that the exhaust systems on these trucks these days kill the vehicle! I will always delete from now on, it’s a night and day difference on the way these trucks perform. Of course I kept all parts just in case I have to convert back for some dumb reason  :chuckle:

:yeah: kept my old parts as well.  Another thing my edge fixed, my Speedo now reads the correct speed I’m driving. With my 35’s I was always going faster than Speedo said.  And I agree, from now on every truck I buy will get this exhaust system!  Except I can’t afford-or better yet- won’t spend 80,000 on a new truck so I’ll probably drive this till the wheels fall off!

Yep tuner fixed my speedometer as well. And yes I agree on the brand new truck cost. I will let someone else take the brand new cost hit and buy used when I have to. My truck just turned 72000 miles so will be keeping it for awhile.
