Default Gear swap done!

Finnaly went through with the gear change. 3.21 to 3.92. I must admit, there is a difference, but its not astronomical like some people act. I ran 1500 rpm at 70 mph before, now running 1900rpm at 70. Mainly my acceleration is bettter, which is what i really wanted. But, nonetheless, im glad i did it. I went with OEM and it took the shop 5 hours. They are super quiet.

Now, i have a reg cab shortbed with a single exhaust. Any exhuast upgrade ideas ? I have thought about getting the chrome dual exhaust bumper for $465 on ebay. If i go that route, what kind of dual exhaust should i get and any ideas on what it would run ?

The magnaflow part# is 16869 for the dual exhaust bumper. I just did this swap on my 09 slt quad hemi and I love it! I found a guy close that wanted a single exhaust bumper so we swaped.Look on ebay for cheaper prices, their out there.

AutoAnything.com

I found it on Pro3i.com they had it listed for $700+ but on there site you can make them an offer (450.00) they did a counter offer of 538.00 free shipping. So I've had pretty good luck w/ AutoAnything and figured I'd see if they'd price match. They matched it w/ free shipping.

I forgot to ask you if the new system you bought is completely stainless or not
