No emissions in IL. So LTs, no cats, and a single straight through muffler.

Personal pref on headers for some, - but OBX are all Flash IMO. If that's what you like, get the MOST beneficial OBX'S for engine flow AND MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE you size the collectors +system accordingly.

Personally, I'd run the Longer Pacesetter headers or Kooks (Modified/cut/turned) with 350 hp plus.

The 3" Single in/Single out Borla XR series is PERFECT!
I only was partial to the OBX due the $300 price difference with the lifetime warranty.

Imo 200$ is not worth a cai. Got my lightning airbox for 35$ i figure 5hp gain max with cai. Id rather spend that 200$ on further tuning so the truck will run better and surely they can pickup mote power in the tune.

New transmission is in. Im very impressed with it so far. In very light throttle it shifts like butter. In average driving it shifts a little quicker and firmer than stock. Haven't gone wot yet but i expect it to chirp tires shifting into 2nd. I need to break it in and use up my old gas in the tank
