No they don't. Just another shiny thing to shiny up when giving her a bath.

Nice little side steps you have there to help you get into the bed of the truck, bro!



I keed, I keed!!

It looks good buddy. I personally would probably tuck them in another 1/2 inch or so, but that's just me. As they sit right now on your truck, I think it looks nice!

No problem man, I had forgot you were looking for me!
The better sound is probably in my head, but I thought it had just a slightly different sound at idle.
Mike- yeah I can slide them in further if I want to. I'm going to leave them like they are fr now and see if I feel like moving them later.

I'm going to be the odd man out here and say that I think they should slide in another 2 inches... sort of "almost" follow the bumper curve. Just my personal taste, though.

Otherwise... they look really good, Chase.

When I eventually do mine, I want to have them run higher up and then come down at about a 30° angle and then slice them off horizontal with the ground right under the bottom edge of the bumper... no tips, just pipe. My goal is to have them such that you almost can't even tell where the exhaust pipes are. Again, that's just me, though.

on another note i was behind a guy in an old school chevy z71 and he had some of THE smallest dual exhaust ive ever seen. they had to be 2" pipes or something. you could barely see them. i absolutely love the big cannon exhausts on diesel rigs...............

+1 on where they are, but to each their own. I have a tip for my recent 4" MagnaFlow install, but right now running just the endpipe. It's a truck, after all...
