Today I had an exhaust shop weld on my new Corsa-style exhaust tip. They had to cut part of my pipe off and bend a new pipe to make it fit right. The cheap slip-on I installed myself had seen better days and this double outlet one looks way better. Plus I had them tuck it up closer to the body.

Exactly. I have zero chrome on my truck anymore. Well, with the exception that my winter wheels have chrome center caps but that's only temporary! I can't wait to put my Dubs back on but the city has only filled about half the potholes caused by ****** maintenance and a harsher than normal winter. A couple more weeks is what I keep telling myself. One bent rim a year is more than enough.

Oh I know , don't see any chrome on my truck.
But at least the city got you paid pretty fast and the process was pretty smooth and painless

I reinstalled my 26's the other day and remembered I had a new front air dam ready to go since my other one got chewed up this winter. With my 17" winter rims on, my truck was too low to the ground to clear the air dam and it kept hitting every time I hit a dip in the road or went into a driveway. This time I decided to see if I could do anything different as far as mounting it in order to get the ends to line up with the fender wells. It always bothered me that it looked like it was too short on the ends. I've heard of others using 2 air dams and cutting and patching them together to make a longer one. On my Denali, there's an area where the curve or shape isn't right and the air dam doesn't follow the compound curve of the bumper. I just decided to bridge this area and pull the ends out further. It leaves a gap where it leaves the bumper but it's only visible from the bottom. Here's a pic of the way the old one looked at the end and one of how it looks now.
