The thorleys are long tubes and I got them shipped from Summit for $438. I was very pleased when I opened them up. Seem to be very good quality. I think they are a great price, considering they are long tubes and most shorties I see go for that price and more.

I'm sure I will. I ordered 2 of the 3" 4x9x14 magnaflows, the 2.5" magnaflow x pipe, and 2 summit 3" cutouts today. I really hope it makes the cammed 6.0L sound mean as hell at idle.

I did not know that. What size are the tubes? 1 3/4? Seems like if you have longtubes you can run 13's easily. Let me know when it would be a good night to come back down to Greenville. We all ought to head down to Hattiesburg and whoop some tail!

Sweet set up!!!! That is going to be AWESOME!!! Ive always loved the looks of your truck. I wish I wouldve done a cammed 6.0. It wouldve forced me to wait a little longer on my choice of FI and I wouldve gotten a turbo.
Cant wait to hear how you like it.

My motor is shipping Tuesday. I plan on getting everything in the truck by the end of this month, but you know how it goes sometimes. I'll definately be up for going to Greenville or Hattiesburg when my "little" project is done. When the motor gets here, all I'll have left to get is the tune, fans, and tranny. I've already decided on a TeamTripp 4l60. The cam, springs, and headwork is all done and already on the 6.0L.(Big thanks to BigTex). I'm coming up to Memphis to the track as soon as the setup is complete. I'll keep you updated.

Thanks man. I'm really excited about how its going to sound. Too bad for me the compression's going to be alittle too high for a turbo or supercharger. Hey, there's always NAAAWWZZZ!
