I will in a bit. Looks like it might have factory shocks on there still too. Suspension is really soft but manageable so far. Might buy a set of rancho rs5000 shocks. Will take a look today.

Monroe shocks on there now. Feels a bit soft for my liking. Might try out some bilstein 5100 shocks. Not a high priority though.
As for exhaust - this is what is in there now:
Looks like 2.5" exhaust as well.

Half debating on doing this -

Or I will get in touch with a local shop and have them cut out/weld in something new. Not too sure yet.

That thar is a glasspack and a piss poor install.
Yeah you'll probably be happy with a magnaflow and single 3" tailpipe.

Might save the money over the magnaflow and get the flowmaster system.
Tempted to just replace everything cat back.

We can do a magnaflow and tail for about 350

How much for a complete cat back system with magnaflow?

If we're going all the way to the cats about 6.
Most bolt on kits just go to the flange after the y-pipe

That what I was thinking of doing. Just the flange back. Pretty much just a bolt on set up but would like it welded.

What's the difference between what you would offer and this:

Flowmasters aren’t great. Magnaflow would be better and less flow restriction. I noticed the guy put it to duals. If you are doing it again consider a single pipe like Steve with a classsy tip.

I'm not going with duals. Going single. Probably magnaflow even though more expensive. Really debating on the one I posted from magnaflow but wanted to know what the difference was between that and the one Steve offers

We do custom built in house.
Kits generally fit but with compromises. Might be tight to the spare, shock, etc.
What we will build would fit better but not as high quality. We use aluminized and crush bent. To match the kit piece for piece would run about 1k

I'm going to get the stainless magnaflow one. Install it myself. Then just find someone to weld it.

Make sure to leave a joint/flange at least at the cat so you can still replace it later on. They have a life cycle. Plus you still want some flex in that pipe or else things tend to break.
