Looks so much better! Now you just need to paint the other part of the pipe black to match.

What kind of paint did you use on that tip? I'm assuming something like engine paint or something that can hold up to the heat? I like the direction your'e going here! :)

Another area of concern is the exhaust coming out right next to that white paint. Make sure you keep it cleaned very regularly other wise the exhaust could have a tendency to "stain" that white.

You got it Jacob... the only thing on the outside of the truck that isn't black or white is the headlights....the stainless tip would have thrown that off...
I did use the engine enamel paint, and clear....gonna see how it holds up...if it doesn't, then I might have to try powdercoat...
And it is a SLP resonator delete, Alex.

Nice I have my exhaust tip powder coated flat black. I love it when it's clean but damn that shit gets dirty too quick. Lol

So would you recommend say a magnaflow muffler and leaving the stock resonator on? I'm looking to add a little sound of my wifes Yukon,But I don't want it to be crazy loud or drone either. Not sure she or our baby on the way would appreciate drone

My Burb is the wife's DD and she totes around our 3 kids in it. On mine, the resonator has been removed and I've put a Magnaflow muffler on it (Part # 12589) and the tone is perfect IMO. NO drone at all and you only really hear it within the vehicle when you accelerate or you're passing someone. When you're just cruising you barely even know it's there.

Does deleting the resonator change the sound any?

Yes, just a little bit more "throat-ier" or deeper but not much louder
