Just wanted to introduce myself. I just picked up an 03 GMC Sierra 2500 LB7. I have always wanted a diesel and now I finally have one. I do some engine work on my camaro, and am here looking for some insite on some products for my new truck.
Here it is:

Welcome to the club! I have a 4" S/S Silverline turbo back exhaust with a 5" tip which was very easy to install in my driveway...it was harder to remove the stock exhaust. I have no cat and really love the sound and lower exhaust gas temps I have now when towing. As far as the intake I am still on the fence only because a lot of people have indicated no mileage gains, and the stock filter works fine for now. If you plan on a lift anytime in the future...there is a lot of info on this site...enough to make you cross-eyed. These trucks are great and keep in mind that you will read more about complaints than the good experiences on this site at times. Maintenance...maintenance is the key to longevity.
Welcome again....check my garage for pics

thank you for the info and the welcome. If I do lift it, it may just go with a 2" suspension lift, but that is a ways away. I am still building my camaro (again) And this will be my tow vehicle as well as my daily driver. Its pretty tall now compaired to my old truck..lol.
