So Calspeed 1 3/4 w/ Y-pipe (included?) and magnaflow exhaust it is...

This setup is pretty much what I was leaning towards to begin with (minus the y-pipe)

Thanks guys.

Your front look the same as mine, your rear looks about an inch lower.
I like.
You need some help debadging?

Edit: That SLE badge near the door handle is sooo easy to remove. Do you have a spare bondo spreader? That's all you need.

With those mods you'll notice a pretty solid improvement. Tune and headers combined will be worth good power on that truck, and im sure the current cat back isnt the best...

1 7/8" might be a bit large unless you go go FI or big cam.

I don't think I can wait 6 more weeks for the Calspeeds.

Texas speed headers are in stock @ 1 3/4... any thoughts/experience with them?

I wanted to buy this setup 3 nights ago... The more research, the more I change my mind.

So texas speed 1 3/4 lt's, magnaflow 3" center in/out. Which ORY though...

Pacesetter 3" in 3" out ory, which should be a pretty straight-forward install; or the flowmaster scavenger ory, 3" in, 3.5" out, using a 3.5"-3" reducer to the magnaflow?

Am I splitting hairs here?
