Thanks for the tip.

So I'm back to debating headlights. Anyone who has had retrofitted headlights, what's your opinion on them?

For +/- $1000 they'd better be worth it lol.

However for a Grand..... Not sure if they worth it "that much" JMHO

I don't want to have no headlights for two weeks since this is my only vehicle now.

One of the sites I listed was at around 650 shipped with new aftermarket oem replicas, cleared as well.

I would easily spend 600-700 for rerros...... a grand 3 years ago was.... well fine.

Now its too much IMO... too much competition out there now to spend that much on a basic set.

But why would anyone install an aftermarket with no cross rails? Seems weird. They don't have a brand anywhere on them, or slots for rails to be put on.

Wow this is weird, was looking at an escalade rack on eBay, and a 'similar item' was this:

Looks the same as mine.. It is a perrycraft 65" side rail. I'm pretty sure mine is the same but black. Mystery solved?

Since I've already cut off the resonator, I was thinking of ordering something like this

and getting my mechanic to angle it back similar to the regular slp res delete.

I'm looking to get a different muffler installed on the tahoe. Need a bit of help deciding though.

I loved the sound of the magnaflow 12589 on my 5.3 Yukon, anyone know what would be the closest equivalent for the 6.0? I feel like using the same one would be loud.

I read that 12909 is good for the 6.2, but I am pretty sure my exhaust is 3" diam

I think David just had a convo by himself
6.0 is a drone monster
...and what do you mean "6.0 is a drone monster", lee? drone is largely controlled by the muffler and how it's setup. Not the engine that's shooting exhaust through it.

I know I'm talking to myself but it is almost like someone else's opinion when I read my own out loud.. I think I'm crazy? Lol.

If it is too loud I'll just sell it and try something else I guess. I'm brining the truck home after this semester, where our fastest speed limit is 50kmph and no highways or roads out. So drone isn't a huge issue.
