In my experience it holds up just fine. What prep work you do on the muffler I'm going to do mine Thursday with my bumpers.

On the tailpipe we cleaned it off, roughed it up with some steel wool, and sprayed.

Plasti-Dip ended up holding up great through the car wash. Just bought a bunch of stuff to tint my tails and 3rd brake light, so pictures of that will come once completed, probably early next week.

Tinted the tails and third today. Came out great until I accidentally put way too think of a final clear coat on the driver side tail, so there are some minor run spots but nothing super noticeable. After putting them on the truck they seem to look less dark, but I don't mind it so much as long as it will keep the cops away.

Not the best picture but all I got because I was rushed for time to get them back on the truck so I could get somewhere ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374719048.803731.jpg

Now all I have left to complete the blackout is puddle lights, windows and bumpers :)

Spent a couple hours doing some cleaning up of the truck after a long day of work. My wheels had some rock rash from off roading so I taped off all the little circles along the outer ring, covered up the inside as well as the tire with newspaper and sprayed the outer ring with Rustoleum flat black wheel paint. It came out great and from a few feet back the wheel look brand new again. Really happy with the way it turned out.

The truck has been getting a lot of work lately both with heavy things in the bed and hauling wood and my jeep, which is really making me regret the level. So, I think I decided that I would rather crank the Bilsteins up to 2.8 and toss in a 3" rear spacer, giving me 1.5-2" of rake back. In addition to the rake, it will be a much more inexpensive option and doesn't require me to realign the exhaust and possibly the hitch.

This will probably come once I need new tires so my 35's won't look tiny, and I hope that it gives me the height that I want, although I wish that there was a way to get it bigger than it will become through solely suspension mods. I need someone to come out with bigger than a 6" kit! And a cheaper way to regear so I can go with my 38x13.5x20 Toyo MT's that I want so badly

Next mod is on its way! As always Bully's was super easy to deal with and helpful getting me set up with a QTP 3" E-Cutout. I'm hoping to have it installed by the end of next week, and ill be sure to post a review with some pictures and sound clips afterwards!

The cutout is in! Getting it installed on Thursday, very excited for how it will turn out, lets just hope I don't get pulled over on the ride home from the shop because of it

Seems like a foolproof plan to me!

Its why I have one (pending install of course) as I like my 22" muffler for everyday and the option for complete Hemi music when the cutout is open
Its :love62:

:happy160:

I also like the idea of it being easy to close, when I'm with my parents I can close it and let the 18" Magnaflow do its job, but when I'm riding with my friends or pull up next to someone at a stoplight I can let it rip!

I have a friend with a 3rd gen who is constantly trying to one-up me, when I got my 18" he got a side dumped Flowmaster, I have 35's, he is planning on getting 36's (with just a level :laughing1::badidea: ) just so he can say that he has something bigger or louder or nicer than me... I can't wait to pull up beside him :idiot:

So one of the e-cutouts what are we talking price wise? Sounds very appealing
