i have true dual exhaust on my truck now, but i dont have the proper fab skills or garage to do the exhaust properly and make it show quality, so i purchased a set of lpp lts with a y and a magnaflow catback that is dual out and im going to fab it up so that the catback will flow through the tip from inside the frame. unlilke the original exhuast that runs outside the frame. i do plan to modify the headers later to add my electric cutouts for when i really want to be a pain in the ***.

what all did you do to yours nyte?

I havent done much to it yet, but I did install the LPP LTs and Y this weekend. Tomorrow I take it to the shop that's going to do be doing the work for me (I usually do everything myself, but for what I'm doing, I want an expert doing it)

Anyone ever seen an RST that is done up like blacksheep??? In about 4 weeks you will!

oh, with out a doubt there will be vids/pics to share. i cant wait to get this phase of the truck complete. and for good measure ill be taking her on a 800 mile (total) roadtrip. so the vids and sound clips should be of a nicely broken in magnaflow muffler.

any specific vid requests so you guys can hear it best?

im probably going to get some of the following:
drive by at wot
in cab cruising 40ish mph
in cab cruising 60+
in cab wot
small burnout (maybe)
idle

location (cuz you know it has to be cinematic), exspensive rubber, hour cutback at work, so funds are low to replace said rubber.

RED04REGENCYRST, i see you powdercoated your wheels, looks very nice, was thinking about possibley doing mine a light gray because the chrome is pitted. was wondering if yours had any pitting before you got yours done. I know they will strip them before they get coated but was wondering if the pitting will cause any problems with the powdercoating.

i didnt powder coat my regency wheels, but the person i sold them to did. they were already pitted and even after acid dipping them they still had problems. so if you have pitting you might want to talk to someone about it before powder coating.
