You can run them off the accesorry circuit which is the orange, or the constant power which is red there should be two of those

Awesome!! Thanks, I'll see what I can do!! That might actually help prevent me from burning my truck to the ground!!

oh we need video of how she sounds
Next year I'm gonna get a fuel cell and re-route some of the exhaust tips from the cut-outs on out so that the driver's side dump doesn't go under the frame but around the raised section of frame where the fuel tank is. So after I get that done I will get it coated to make it look alot nicer!!
I'll get pics of it today, trying to trouble shoot a brake issue right now.

That rear brake that is stuck you might want to re-bleed that caliper again.I had to re-bleed mine because one caliper was sticking.
I have not mentioned anything yet, however it's gonna be something kinda different. Don't wanna talk about it till I'm sure that it will work and I do enough research.

Well last night I drove the truck about a mile to see what other possible items might pop up, so far other than the brakes and the tune all seems good. Had a bad smell of brake dust because of that left front one being so damn tight and the rotor got hot but other than that she feels good. Seems to have quite a bit of get go for only going maybe %30 TPS. Shifted smooth and confortably, has good power from what I could tell and with the cut-outs closed it sounds pretty good but quiet enough to where it won't be noticed...curious to hear what it sounds like at WOT though.
Took a few pictures this morning, so here ya'll go. Let's hear it good and bad!











Like I've mentioned previously, gonna get a flat black powder-coated plate to go around the hole, not sure if it's gonna be solid or riveted and what exact shape it's gonna be, rectangle or cylindrical or what but the main criteria is for it to be subtle in appearance. Also think I might get some tips, powder-coat those flat black as well just so there isn't the rough edge of a cut pipe.

Edit: I'm gonna paint the inside of the pipe as well, see if I can't get rid of that visible aluminzed steel sticking out from the inside of the pipe.

They did a good job on the exhaust...like to here it open and closed at wot when you get your brake problem fixed. I even like the side exit..get you some rustoleom flat black bar-b-que paint it will cover the pipe good and it has rust inhibitors in it so the cut end won't rust

You and me both Curt!! I'll see what I can do but it probably won't be for a week if not more until I can get my brake issue figured out and spend a little more time on my tune. But once I do I will take some vids of each and post them up! I'm my way out right now to get some rustoleom flat black bar-b-que paint and see if I can't black them out a little better, thanks for the tip!!
