    Yeah I'm going to have to remove the bumper to mount the license plate permanently anyways. Maybe to do the lights too. So that's when I'll do all that. I just wanted.it on the truck so bad lol. You didn't send me that info on the LEDs yet btw

    $171.50 shipped from Amazon prime with a $50 credit applied. Bought Tuesday iirc, arrived today. Install took less than 30 minutes [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG] Will reinstall stock air filter for off roading.

    it sounds good. Not as noticeable over the roar of the v8 with my flowmaster 40 as it was on my 3.4 with stock exhaust. But still sounds good and feels good. Feels like it accelerates more evenly and comes alive even more in the high rpms. Really compliments the DDI injectors and the vvti at high rpms. Can't wait for headers and a full exhaust system. Maybe in 2020
