Bunch of wheelers use those shocks and they blow out pretty good. Yeah...sometimes from hitting them hard. If you want something to last for a street ride, then you may fair pretty well.

I gotta say that is a funny visual though, "toss your drink from the cupholder"

Well due to my budget, I got (4) SJ7000 with Red Boots + SJ7000 Steering Stabilizer for $198 shipped. BUT I ordered SAME_DAY shipping (yesterday) and I just got an email saying my shipment is postponed until 5/1..so pretty upset.

I have heard alot of negative about the 44 from alot of people. My muffler is 1-in 2-out (mistyped earlier) and the stock has a pretty good rumble at low rpm and I just wanted to go a little louder.

Even after all the negative comments about the sj's you still got them.

I had the procomp 3000 and they ride like crap as well.

Well.. I had about $250 to play with and my shocks now are rusted and bushing are gone. Plus I put a level kit on a bit ago so I have to accommodate that and this was just my best route for the time being. Maybe in the summer ill get Bil51000 and sell my SJs.

On the muffler all my friends are telling me to either the cat or muffler off but that's no good haha. I might go with the 44s and maybe find a stainless steel, prime and paint it for hope of extra protection

cherry bomb vortex have a good sound, not to loud when cruising around and it sounds awesome at WOT, quieter then a flowmaster 44 but flows way better.
