[QUOTE="01ssreda4, post: 5479, member: 477"] So I picked up this 2004 Yukon Denali about amonth ago. Here's some pics: [URL=http://s275.photobucket.com/user/01ssreda4/media/Yukon%20XL/IMG_20140218_165324_346_zps9891671f.jpg.html][IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/Yukon%20XL/IMG_20140218_165324_346_zps9891671f.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s275.photobucket.com/user/01ssreda4/media/Yukon%20XL/IMG_20140226_165559_278_zps5e21d774.jpg.html][IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/Yukon%20XL/IMG_20140226_165559_278_zps5e21d774.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s275.photobucket.com/user/01ssreda4/media/Yukon%20XL/00m0m_bmXCaOO8Atu_600x450_zpsc3a5b9f8.jpg.html][IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/Yukon%20XL/00m0m_bmXCaOO8Atu_600x450_zpsc3a5b9f8.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s275.photobucket.com/user/01ssreda4/media/Yukon%20XL/01111_lcSypH3idOO_600x450_zps57784041.jpg.html][IMG]http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj294/01ssreda4/Yukon%20XL/01111_lcSypH3idOO_600x450_zps57784041.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I really like the truck so far, but I been debating on doing an exhaust system on it. I decided to just go ahead and bite the bullet. As a back story, I helped a buddy who has a Sierra 2500 HD setup a system with a Magnaflow bullet and it sounded good so I was leaning towards that route. I have a Dodge already with a flowmaster and did not want both trucks to sound the same. I decided to go with a bullet muffler and chose a Dynomax for a few reasons. 1. I've used their bullets before in the past and they served me well. 2. After viewing multiple brands of bullet style mufflers they all look identical, meaning they probably come off the same assembly line somewhere. 3. Cost was cheaper for Dynomax over Magnaflow. With no logo'd box and holding both in your hands you would not be able to tell the difference.
