I agree 100% with all of that, definately get more credit for doing the work yourself. Hell I have less than 200 bucks in my whole 4" mandrel exhaust because I took the initiative to drive an hour to a truck junkyard after a downpour and wrestle intercooler pipes off diesel trucks in the mud, only because it was cheaper than new 3" mandrel tubing.

Again, I like your truck, the main reason I posted that thread a while back was to ask about your setup and figure out what you were running because it was damn quick.
