Well, it's been a while since I last posted on here.  I haven't been able to do much to the Titan due to funding, but that is about to change.  The latest mod was Cajun B-pipes by nightowl (on titantalk).  I did have the walker pipes, but they were too small.  The reason they were too small was I have OBX LT's that are 2.5" - into the walkers (2") - and then cat-back style pipes (2.5 into 3").  Well I got rid of the catback and replaced with a bullet muffler.  With these new pipes, the exhaust flows a lot better, and louder.  I'm debating on getting another bullet or borla xr1 to go inline with the other bullet.  I've replaced the chrome covers on the mirrors due to the bedliner chipping off on a regular basis.  If it wasn't for the post on Titantalk.com, I would probably still be out in the driveway trying to figure out how to get them off, or online ordering new mirrors :). 

OBX Header install

Well, I finally did it.  I attempted it a couple weekends ago but ran into a little snag.  However, I got it done this past weekend.  I worked on it from about 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and had issues getting the old pipes off.  Started again on Sunday and got done about 10:30 at night.  I had to completely take off the motor mounts, jack the engine up, and then put the headers on.  On the passenger side, a dent had to be made on the second (from the front) tube so that it would clear the Upper Control Arm.  While jacking the motor up, the mounts got bent.  That's why I had to completely remove them.  Put them in a vice and they were as good as new.  The headers were cheaper than the other long tubes and way cheaper than stock.  Was the price difference worth it, probably not.  However, they are on and sound/perform awesome.

Rear Bumper

This past weekend, I painted/bedlined my rear bumper and mirrors.  It actually came out pretty good.  Let me know if you like it or not...

Promised pics

The PRG leveling kit is installed and here are the pics.....

Leveling kit

Well, I did it. I (with the help of my father-in-law) installed the PRG 2" leveling kit. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It took us about 1 1/2 hours. The instructions that came with the kit are spot on. Just follow them to the T and you will have no issues. Once things settle down today, I'll get some pictures and post them up.

New products

I ordered a leveling kit from PRG and it arrived today. I plan on putting it on this weekend and will post pics when done.

Pics

As promised, here are the pics of my new grill...
