Looks like you had a better Xmas and Bday than I did!

What did the intake/exhaust cost if you dont mind me asking?
Trying to save some money for a similar mod - taking longer than anticipated!
Truck might be worn out faster than funds accumulated!

A local shop here, Smoke'em Diesel had an extended x-mas deal on the exhaust intake as a combo, for $649. What I thought was a hell of a deal!

That is a good deal!! Kick in the nerds for the tuner though. Just for shiznits and giggles, when you have it all installed and your driving style has settled back to normal, it would be interesting to see what your actual mileage is compared to pre-delete/tune and calculate how long it will take to pay off the mods. I'm always interested to know these things...
