Looks like the only ones you have to supply are the side lights/blinkers. I paid 5$ per light at Autozone.

it gives me better acceleration and added about 1-2 mpg on the highway drving conservatively. it also gave me truck a deeper exhaust note at idle, and a beefier sound when i punch it doing about 50. check out the exhaust clip i made, its in my sig. im going to get a better one up soon. i think it was worth it, but thats IMO.
im actually going to get on the dyno next weekend, so whe will c how much it helped, along with my exhaust. im hoping for at least 210 hp at the crank, but cant really make a guess at the rwhls

how are you going to know what it makes at the flywheel? You can only guess at that even when you dyno it.

K&N CAI's are not worth the price. You get more bang for your buck from an ebay intake. It does the same thing plus you can always put a K&n filter on the end of it and still spend way less that the suckers that pay for a name.

no u wernt... there is a formula that will tell what it is at the crank (give or take a few though) im not sure what it is but there is one... o i did check out your clip... and it sounds deepre then mine when reved up... how big of x haust u got on it? i have 2.5 into 4 inch tip. and it sounds good... (for a 6 banger) and im hoping that when i do get a high performance air filter it makes it sounds even more like a 8 banger.

theres usually an 18-22% loss in power from crank to wheels.
