Hey Guys -
picked up the truck after work, very happy with the work.

Level - 2" ReadyLift, no block in rear, sits perfect. Rode about 16 miles home city/highway didn't notice any lose in ride quality.

my first drive review:
Pros:
Start up def surprised me, it has a nice growl. This exhaust when idle, you cant hear it, I though when i came to the first stop sign that my truck stalled, because i couldnt hear it..lol. As soon as you go, you know it has a nice rumble. It is louder than i wanted, but it does sound good, and it roars when u stomp on it.

Cons:
it feels like more a vibration than bad drone on highway. At 60-70 u can hear it with the windows up. I had the radio mid level and u can tell theres an exhaust out back, hopefully i.ll get use to it.
this is a minor grip, the tailpipes are slanted down a bit to give enough clearance from the bumper brackets on the frame. I would of like the pipes to be parallel with the ground but it is was it is. I dont want them to try to bend the pipes up to level it.

It def looks well built and the hangers seem strong, plus comes with lifetime warranty, IMO well worth the money.

pics to follow, the video are low quality, had it on the wrong setting but the sound is pretty close to the real thing.

Great lookin truck!

 

thanks lonestar.

Im done with the mods, now i.ll just enjoy driving it..lol

 

Do you have the straight thru muffler, or the one with the baffle plate in it?

 

I believe it a straight through, according to the website, but i cant say Yes for sure.

 

Looks great! Sounds pretty mean too. Are you happy with the look of the level with your current tires and wheels? I know you had said you were worried the 33's would look too small. I think they look great!

 

 

Does that exhaust still use the stock resonator? My Magnaflow kit does. I need to find a pipe to replace the resonator with. Thanks

 

I have both and currently run the straight thru. I love the sound, but pulling my travel trailer, it gets annoying real fast. The baffled muffler is quieter, though still nice, but not enough for my liking.

 

looks/sounds good!

 

Russ, im def happy with the look. I think 34 or 35's would look better but dont think the extra money & wear/tear are worth it for me right now. So far the ride is still factory like.

svt - they removed the resonator with this kit. couldn't believe the size of the OEM muffler /resonator. they were huge.

Smokwagun - is the baffled muffler almost silent when idle, mine is so quiet @ idle then has a nice growl once u hit the gas. Maybe i have the baffled one then?

 

thanks bro

 

truck looks really good and has a nice sound to it

have you considered having your side and back emblems painted black where they are chrome now or doing a dark grey? keep tossing around that idea since there isn't any other chrome on our trucks

 

i actually have, i keep saying that to myself that the emblems are nice in chrome but they really stick out now. Im gonna have to do a photoshop job first.

thanks for the compliment
