I have no hard evidence, but in my opinion it helped my mileage and possibly throttle response.
Yeah in the long run that's the plan. I also ordered a Front End Replacement from Ranger Offroad that should be in this week and I think that will help tie them in and not look as bulky due to the fact that it's got a big front bumper too, we will see...

Well I've been thinking about painting the exhaust pipe for awhile now and decided to do it today... Here's some pics
Went ahead and got the visible part of the muffler as well...
Not that my truck is super tall and everyone can see it, but I was tired of the orange rust color, you can see the difference in this pic
I used High Heat Black Spray Paint, nothing special in case anybody else wants to do it.

Well it's a rainy day and I was bored so I decided to pull the grill off and spray it with Krylon Fusion Black and UV Clear to match the bedrails... The clear is drying as we speak, pics to come

As promised, I don't think the pictures do it justice, but it looks brand new!
Before:
Prep Work:
I used some kind of scotch paint tape/plastic combo stuff, it was laying around in the garage...
After:
And of course it couldn't be just a walk in the park, one of the back screw posts on the emblem broke, after trying to glue the little piece back on twice I gave up and I just put a few dabs of tacky glue on it, hopefully it holds
I also went ahead and sprayed a layer of Krylon Fusion on the emblem
