X2 i wanna hear!

Will do. Wish I would of got a sound clip of the original exhaust but everyone knows what that sounds like. I'll tell you what, getting the bolts off of the mid pipe are a pain in the *****. I tried to get them off with out putting WD40 on and they are on there. I practically soaked it with WD40 and it finally came off with some force. I'm trying to get out the Resonator but I think I need to put a jack on the resonator pipe so when I maneuver it out it won't smack me in the chin or the face. I think I'm going to wait till my dad comes home to remove the rest. Will post up a sound clip after it's installed.

So my dad practically put it together. Overall it's pretty easy to put on. Afe's instructions are wrong, it says it's made for the 145in Wheel base when it's made for the 157in wheelbase. It fits the 145in wheelbase with cutting of the mid-pipe. They really need to change those instructions. Specially if they say they are bolt on.

Man does it sound nice. I don't know it might even be to loud. IDK

So a little update. Sorry for the no posting of the sound clip guys, still trying to find the USB to USB connecter cable to my camera. Plus my Macbook Pro heats up like a **** when I try to edit a vide.
As far as the truck goes, I haven't really made any mods to it. Been saving up for a Rancho 4in Lift. The primary thing was finding a shop that would do it without bending me over in the process. I found a shop about 45 minutes away that will do it for 500+50 for alignment. That is the best quoted I have received. I'm going to go with him. Now I'm just waiting for the rebate from Rancho to kick in and hopefully I can get a good deal on the kit itself. I really want to order it through PCS Custom but it's online and I;m very apprehensive about ordering a kit online. I know countless people who have ordered through PCS but I'd rather get it through a company I know and has a brick and mortar store. I called 4 Wheel Parts to see if they can price match the kit but the guy said that since PCS isn't an "authorized dealer" they can't price match it. BUT! the guy said to call back this saturday when the rebate is instated and he will "cut" me a good deal. I really wanted to go with RS9000XLs but the 7000s seem like I get the best of both worlds. It will be cheaper overall as well. I'll try to get the clip uploaded tomorrow.

Another update. I ordered my kit yesterday from Stage 3. I ordered the Rancho 4in Lift w/ RS9000xls all the way around. I won't be able to install the lift till my spring break which is April 14-17th. Little update to y'all.

Nice! Can't wait to see pics! If you don't mind what did the kit run you?

I originally looked at 2 different places. I was comparing prices to see who had the best. My local 4 Wheel Parts with all their "glorious" discounts quoted me 2900 with install and RS9000XLs. That is just flat out ridiculous. So then I called Stage 3 to see if they would price match, they did and out the door it was $1853 w/ the RS9000XLs. That was with free shipping and no taxes. If I went through 4WP they would of charged me tax, freight and a bunch of other stuff. Stage 3 is the way to go.
Dropping my truck off friday morning and should hopefully have the kit installed and ready to go Saturday.
HOPEFULLY! "Fingers Crossed"
AHHH I can't wait!
