Default 2011 supercharged 6.2 silverado

Hi guys been on the sight for a little bit now but never posted one of these so figured I would now I'm in the middle of building a 94 s10 5.3 turbo but while I'm working on that I bought a new daily driver/toy its a 2011 silverado with 6.2 in it with an edelbrock eforce supercharger on it the truck is a 4wd with the 6l80 trans it runs pretty well for what it is but i want a little more out of it so I had a few questions for you guys! It has a custom tune on it with a 3.75 pulley I want to go down in pulley size the smallest one edelbrock sales is a 2.75 there are a couple choices in between should i go straight to the smallest one or try one in between first? I'm goin to upgrade my injectors an fuel system if need be but I just dont want to go crazy with it being my daily driver also what exhaust would you guys recommend I was thinking a Magnaflow catback kit it will be getting a custom tune from s and m motorsports here locally here are a few pics of the truck I already tinted the windows it will be getting a leveling kit with a set of 20x12 with the nitto 420 tires come spring time let me know what you guys think

I believe with the 2.75 pulley it would put the boost around 13-15 psi the truck has 60000 miles also I will get some interior pics tomorrow in the day light

I'd throw a set of ARH long tubes on it with there y pipe and call it a day as far as exhaust goes. Maybe even a straight through muffler in place of the factory muffler and that's it. The factory exhaust on those trucks is 3.5 inches. A cat back is a gonna be a waste of money imo.

This. The stock catback is actually not restrictive until big power is reached. Some put a magnaflow muffler in place of the stocker for sound. Id check on the ARH or KOOKs LT's if you have the budget and if not TSP sells LT's for our body style trucks on a budget. BTW, I hear the stock 6.2 catback with LT's and ORYP sounds awesome.

Thanks for the replies I have heard the factory exhaust where pretty good on these trucks being 3.5 my biggest reason for thinking about a catback system was so I could have the tailpipe come out the side instead of straight back but I think with a few cuts an a welder I may be able to fix that my self but definitely goin to check into the headers an oryp! Has anyone had any experience with these eforce supercharger?

I kind of like the single straight back look myself. Its one way to definitely tell theres a 6.2 under the hood of these model trucks, that in itself is unique in my neck of the woods. I also thought about having a set of twin tips put on the one pipe to kinda mimick the ole Syclone look from back in the day.
