Besides that, dual 2.5" is way too big for a V6, it's actually larger than what should be used on a stock 350, dual 2" would be a good size for the V6 to keep the torque down low where you want it.

If you want to switch, then I suggest installing a cutout before the cats. That way it'll take maybe 30 seconds to unbolt the plate and run open pipe.
