Mods are kind of like potato chips. Betcha can't do just one

Congrats on the new exhaust system. I guess that means an intake is next. To get more air out, you have to let more air in.

The exhaust may add a little performance in your truck in the SOTP meter. But once you start modding good luck on keeping the wallet full

Thats what I have on my truck. Good investment. Like Chris said, intake will let you get more air in so the new exhaust can push it out. 6637 is very popular here for the intake. Don't worry, we can spend your money.

I will stay that way for sure. Have fun with your exhaust. See if you can have another person help you with the downpipe. It will make installing that piece much easier.
