Personally, I wouldn't want them chromed. Wouldn't the chrome coating just get burned off, eventually? They're gonna be ceramic coated inside and out, so that will look pretty good, wouldn't you say?

When you get the headers, will you be changing that last part of your signature? It would be a shame to have the factory cat-back, with these headers. I think I will be going with Flowmaster Super 44s, and keeping the resonator. The Magnaflow cat-back is just a little too mild-sounding for me.

I hate to bear the bad news but if you want to know what you car will sound like, try searching for a truck with a 5.3 and headers......

no, it all depends on what mufflers you have on there. It will sound good for sure. Here's a couple decent ones.
