Thumbs up Spent Some $$$$ This Week

Well I was holding off but finally bit the bullet. I ordered my Bielstiens this week and today ordered a 4" MBRP 4" Turbo back exhaust. I got a great deal $312 with a 5" SS tip shipped. Everything should be here by this weekend if not Monday. I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa now!!!

Thanks Ron I have been toying with it for quite a while, wanted to hold on to the $$$ due to some uncertain circumstances, but decided, with a little help from Rick, to just go for it. My goal is to try and do all of my mods including guages and a DP for under 2K.....just to see if it can be done.

Welcome to the Darkside friend! You will be a very disciplined man to only spend $2K or less! Good luck to you on that!

Congrats you will love the new sound and feel of your truck working less to get somewhere. Just watch you exhaust routing to make sure nothing hits and enjoy.
