Magnaflow #13259 Muffler
3" ID tips
18" body length
24" tip to tip

OEM Muffler is 24" long as well. I had 6" of 3" ID pipe laying around from another project. So used it to install. Left the stupid flapper valve in. It will be getting cut off soon. Can hear it squeaking in V-4 mode

Really like this muffler. It lets you know there is a V-8 under the hood. But it isn't annoying with windows up. Well worth $75

Side note, the OEM pipe is 2.75" OD. Not 3" OD as I've read in previous posts here on the site.

2014+ Silverado Style Tow Mirrors

These are NICE! The bolt right up, electronics clip right in. I have to go back and wire in the running lights and turn signals. The door is wired from factory. But the wire harness in body doesn't have the pin-outs.

I'll get it figured out and post a solution

Fog Lights

Came with harness and a switch. I instead wired to the headlight low beams using a relay. So anytime the low beams come on, these come on. Pretty nice. Had same set on my Tahoe for 4yrs, good quality.

The only indication they aren't OEM is the fuse at the battery. I used a stud off the battery to install. Made for nice/clean setup.

Included is the wire diagram for headlights

Mag-lite Mount in the rear cargo area. Was initially installed in the recess on drivers side of the center console. however hit my leg and was annoying.

normally I put these on the seat belt retractor (fords). but the Burb/Tahoe doesn't have room to close the door when you put it there.

this works nicely however

Fixed my fog lights. Had a bulb go bad. So some LED H8 to the rescue

Will be swapping to LED heads at some point

Installed some LED low beams. Waiting until dark out to check new beam. But in daylight they made me see stars lol
