When I started reading this I was going to tell you not to get it from the Mag. web site. I have the same as Brahma Brian and got it from Summit for closer to the $400 range

thanks 5.7LJWL. I'll have to check summit to see if their price was better. I think I found the best possible price on the internet.

$400 was my goal and I was pretty close to that.

Wherever you get it from, check it over really well at the hanger points. One of my hanger point welds was burnt through. Took it back to Summit (about 15mi. from my house)and they replaced it no ?? asked. Also don't freak out at the size. At first I thought they sent me a Diesel exhaust. I could not believe the diff. in size compared to the stock pipe.

I checked it over it looked great!

I installed it this weekend and all I can say is WOW!

A NICE deep rumble at startup and it sounds great while driving. If this was any louder I would not like it!

Now, it's off to get Justin's tune! :)

You should get the crossover w/hi-flow cats from Magnaflow and put on it if you really want your socks knocked off by the performance an WAY better sound than just the cat-back gives you! :)

Thanks Brian.

I'll have to put that on my wish list for now. I have just enough $$ left to get Justin's tune.

Once I can afford the pre cat setup, I can utilize Justin's free updates!
