Funny thing is this is a stainless steel magnaflow exhuast system and I rarely drive this thing in the winter lol

Might come out pretty sweet, unless you like it debadged like that. I love the SSS wheels on your dropped Colorado, that turned out perfect. Good luck with the build, stay safe in Israel, and don't forget to keep us posted.
I'm staying with the nice clean look ;-) but thanks

damn, son. what kinda work you do? looks like you ballin.

don't get the tr224, it's too much for a 5.3. I probably wouldn't go anything bigger than a tr220 on a 5.3. Look at the smaller ones like a 212/218 something like that.

lol hardly, the build up has been going on since I bought the truck at the end of 04 and when I was still living at my parents lol

I make a decent middle class living.
