Future Plans
Figure out abs issue and exhaust leak
Colormatch handles
Switch to calspeed headers
Add exhaust tips
'12 HD front end
Cam swap
Maybe go with a different tune
 
I say keep the headers on there...no need to spend more on new ones, unless for some odd reason those are hacked or trashed.

Looks dope, just needs another inch more low in the front to match the rear.
 
Kept it. I know I would regret it later and it will end up going to an auction if I traded it in and i didn't want that to happen. Thanks guys I'm happy with the truck overall, even though it has some minor issues

I'm gonna get 275/55 all around. Headers aren't hacked. I was planning to swap headers yesterday but my brother said he would pay for the new ones so idk yet if I do wanna do it. I'll be changing the manifold gaskets maybe this weekend cause the leak comes from the passenger side
 
Congrats on the truck, looking forward to see what you do with it. It'll look awesome with the hd front end.
 
Pioneer is different, it has to get power after the ignition for the dvd..you could put it on a relay
On mine they changed the software so you can't even use a relay anymore..I just put a small black toggle out of sight
 
Looks good. Front would look better a bit lower. Some colormatching and cleared headlights would set it off really well.

I'm not messing with the suspension at all. I will leave it as is and get factory tires or 265/50/20. Cleared headlights will be done this weekend, hopefully.
