Default which parts for 2010

6.2 vmax 4x4 ordered, time to round up some parts.

I ordered g/force 2" spindles and shackles today.

need to decide on headers, 1 3/4 or 1 7/8, will be arh
also, cai, thinking about the new vararam

http://www.vararam.com/tri-power/tri-power.html

not sure what to do with the cat back, not much out there for direct fit, corsa or mbrp for
sierra denali and thats about it for now.
thought i would install the headers, leave the stock 3.5" muffler and take the resonator out of the tail pipe, I don't want a real loud truck.

any suggestions???

I would go with the 1 3/4 unless you are going to boost or nitrous.. if not it will just hurt you instead of gain IMO. ARH is a good brand.. as far as the vararam.. I am researching that myself... I've read alot of good ratings.

im thinking of getting the vararam as well, it seems like a pretty good air intake system. Anybody running one here?

vararam is an oiled filter? That makes me worry about sensor problems.. I wonder if you can get a high flow paper filter..

L92s breathe better on the top end, id get the 1 7/8" if it was up to me. throw a spec'd cam in it with a 3000/3200 stall an 4:10s
dunno anything about the intake. get it dyno tuned or atleast a street tune from one of the sponsors

saw that earlier, very impressive.

I'm not too concerned about the oiled filter, their web site says it's sensor safe fluid.
I've run numerous oiled filters over the years and never had any issues
