JCON,
I see you replaced the Bullit grille. Let me know if you are interested in selling it. You can PM or text me at 862-571-0101.
Also, I have MAC LT's, PC w/ high flow cats, and the MAC axleback. I am thinking of swapping the MAC axleback with the MAC Boom Tubes which is the same setup you will have once your LT's and PC are installed. Only difference is I have magnaflow high flows and you have slp high flows. Could you post a sound clip once you are done with the exhaust install. It would be really helpful for me to decide if I should swap the mac mufflers for the boom tubes. I used to have boom tubes on my old setup and liked them.
Thanks,
HMT

I will def load a video when its finished. I am having the LT's coated I think at the end of this month.
How much louder and deeper was it after you switched? I am concerned with the boomtubes being too loud after finishing the exhaust.
Check your PM

After installing the MAC LT's it got noticeably quieter, noticeably deeper, and most notably, smoother and cleaner sounding.
then I installed the magnaflow high flow cats and it became a little more quieter, smoother and cleaner.
It's a myth that long tubes are louder. My stock manifolds were much louder than the MAC LT's, even before I had the hf cats welded in. That is why I think I may eventually go back to the boom tubes.
This is a list of exhaust setups I've run in order of most quiet to loudest... (not in the order that I had them).

The best sounding setups I've had
MAC LT's, prochamber w/ magnaflow hf cats, MAC Mufflers - Best sound I've been able to create but quiter than I'm used to.
MAC LT's, o/r prochamber, MAC Mufflers
stock man., pypes H with Pypes HF cats, Boom Tubes - Loudest setup even though it wasn't off-road. Was more of a higher pitched chainsaw sound. Here's a vid of me with that setup - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ETn...eature=mh_lolz

I did not like the KR's or the Violators.
Hope this helps.
And I will return your PM now about the Bullitt Grille.

i finally got my relay soldered in correctly and can go into my brightness menu.
i noticed that it will swap back and forth from night/day constantly which is causing the 'pulsing' from it dimming the screen.
i know i soldered that wire in...dont think i messed it up any. thoughts?

I think there might be option to change it. I never change my brightness but then again I have it at a set value. Hold down the menu button on the front and see what you find in the menu there
#30
But when I go there the menus change between day and night settings constantly. I'm not sure why. I just held the up button till they were both at the max. No pulsing but it's also on brightest setting
