your right, there wouldn't really be enough room on a 5.5 foot box but i will be getting the 6.5 foot box so there should be plenty of room. nice truck by the way, that big black tip should go really good with it.

I like that. It looks real good. going to do something similar but a single tip right where the spare would mount

please tell me it will be hidden. only huge lifted diesel can even come close to pulling that set up off and it's still a stretch. but it definitely is optimal for tailgaters

Diesels pull it off nicely with big 5 or 6" tips. my truck is lifted as all of them have been but you wont see it. i don't plan on it hanging down like on a diesel. im going for a good sounding hidden look. you'll be lucky if u see any part of the tip

How do you like that set up? I am now thinkin of doin that but only on one side. I like that clean look of no tailpipe but havin the tip kinda peekin out there.

It is different. I've only seen one or two where I live that has that set up. It does look good with, I think it would look good even with a level and blocks. The more I look at the set up the more I want it. Nice truck by the way, looks really sharp, love that color combo.

Hey man i feel ya. I'm 18 and own a 2010 STX, my parents helped me pay for it for graduation. Since then i have taken all expenses. So far 2" HBS level, 18" Eagle Alloy 050, 295/70/18 Terra Grapplers, True duals 45 degree. Just keep your story on the DL and people won't hassle you.

i feel like your post is hypocritical of keeping it on the DL

FX4 for life, that set-up is really growing on me. I just don't know if that will fly for PA state inspection. I believe the exhaust has to exit beyond the body lines even on a pick-up here. I'll be looking into it, thanks for the pics!

what all have you done to yours? i know you have a lift and all that but have you done anything besides the exhaust for the performance or is that it?

hey thanks all for the pics and ideas! after going back and forth between many opions, sizes, and exit points i have finally decided what i am going to do. it will be stock placement but a little ways back i am going to cut of the stock 3 inch pipe and put a 4 inch elbow instead. i decided against a 5 inch tip let alone a tip at all because i don't think it will look that good with the rest of the things i am doing to it. it may not be as noticable but hey its bigger and not stock. i'll post pics and a video once i get it done which may not be for a little bit because the truck hasn't even come in yet.
