    That's what I started with and I changed it out promptly. Started a long search for mufflers that were chambered and perforated. Still have an itch to try something different. Too bad all this effort can't add the sound of two more cylinders....

    Mine currently goes dt lt headers, stock mid pipes, vibrant ultra quiet resonator, urd mark3 cat back. Pretty good sound, not too loud at all

    BTW, the urd mark3 cat back did not fit with my dakar medium leaf springs. I had to dump it after the axle till I was able to have it extended.

    You’ll definitely love the springs. Only down fall is chopping the exhaust tip

    I could not decide the hammer hangers or the BAMF. Do you have the upgraded shackle with them?

    You may want to put Supercharged in the title and/or the body. We all know what you got, but the general Facebook population, not so much.

    Weirdly enough the trd cat back fit just fine. I probably should have held onto that a little longer....

    Scuff up all the parts desired to paint with some 120-240 grit sandpaper. Use whatever color to your desire, I highly advise waiting 15-20 minutes and then shooting at least 1-2 more coats of spray for improved resilience to paint coming off or fading prematurely. Once done, wait 15-20 minutes post spray job of items you painted and then throwing it in the oven to bake the paint to help it both cure faster and stick better. Wait about 2 days then repeat process except using 400-600 grit sandpaper and make sure you wet sand and keep the item wet with water if you wish to clear coat reshoot the items a total of at least 3 times and then wait about an hour or so before baking again if you wish to accelerate things.

    Baking temp of 200* but no more than that.

    This is my personal process of doing it. Others may give you different advice but it works for me and it works great.
