Got a tint done on Friday. The guy gave me a ceramic tint for the price he would have charged for carbon since he ended up taking his lunch break at exactly the time he told me to come by the shop. $230 total.

The rear windows are 5%, the driver and passenger windows are a little bit lighter at 20%.

Got an oil change the other day with Mobil 1 Extended and then did the SLP resonator delete the following day. At this point I've got a K&N air filter, Airaid MIT, resonator deleted and SLP tips. Tempted to upgrade the muffler next.

How do you like the res delete? Trying to figure out which way I want to go with exhaust. Does it drone a bunch while dod is active? I'm going to delete the dod soon so that isn't a huge deal but would be good to know.

I love it. I actually had the same SLP tip/resonator delete on the last tahoe that was wrecked by the drunk driver. It sounds great when you combine it with an Airaid intake tube and K&N air filter, so I did that exact same setup on this one. I haven't actually changed the muffler so I don't think there's any drone.

Do you still have the dod active?

Honestly I’m not even sure what the dod is so I’m guessing yes lol

DOD is the cylinder deactivation. Displacement on Demand is wat I believe it stands for. But that's good cause it seems most exhaust mods cause drone when dod is active. I will be deleting my dod soon just got to snag HP tuners.

Yep I've definitely still got that activated. I'm not sure if they changed something about it in the 2010 and later years when they made a few subtle updates to the NNBS, but I've always felt like my 2011 Tahoe doesn't switch to 4 cylinders as often as the 2008 Tahoe did. Either way, I never noticed any sort of drone on either of the Tahoes I've owned
