Yeah.. dont remind me. I should have bought some Coated LT. The ceramic paint in a can DONT WORK FOR ****! I figured it looked better than black, but it Peels right off. I'll have these switched out for some coated ones down the line. I went with a magnaflow, which is pretty quite! I need to wire up the cut out sometime this week. Im Taking it back to the body shop to have them repaint my valance because the first body shop i went to painted it the wrong shade of silver.

I went with the PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L heads. I Love the new setup, havent really pushed it yet. Just dropped it off at the body shop this AM to get the Valance repainted since the first shop fukd up.


Heres a video after the exhaust was installed. Sorry, didnt rev it @ high RPMs - MagnaFlows with the electric cutout(Not wired up yet)
