gets used like a truck.
How do you like the MBRP exhaust? Coming from an old Dodge with flowmaster exhaust I am liking the nice quiet ride but I would like something that sounded a little meaner than stock.

It took a little bit to get used to, and is SUPER loud with cold starts, running in my driveway. I have no resonator, and I really like the sound. I'm pretty sure it did nothing for power and it definitely lowered my gas mileage, but that's more due to my right foot, i'm sure.

Very nice. I've been contemplating those wheel well liners. Now after seeing them on your truck I believe I'm just going to have to do it. Looks much better with them.

Definitely worth the money, I almost didnt do it but glad I did. Should really make a difference when I swap out the rear block! 👍
