If they can crawl under than the truck is too high, thats my motto anyway lol, You dont have to weld the system on you can flange the pipe to clamp over the factory, We clamped ours because when it comes time to sell not everyone likes the thunder from down under, I keep every factory part I remove to give the new owner the option to keep what they want aand toss what they dont, than again I look like a hoarder! Does anyone need the roof from my F150 rag top install? Wait I might need it someday nevermind.

T304
T304 stainless is generally the highest material grade currently used for exhaust systems. It is an aircraft-quality, 16-gauge stainless containing 18 to 20 percent chromium and 8 to 10 percent nickel, also known as austenitic stainless. This means that the material is highly durable and it will never rust. It is very attractive, and even after extended use, can be polished to a high-shine finish. It also has the lightest weight of any of the material grades because of its high chromium content. T304 stainless is the perfect choice for the vehicle that will be owned for an extended period of time, and/or needs to stand up to rugged use or challenging weather conditions. It's also the only choice for the consumer who simply wants the very best, or is using their vehicle as a show vehicle. T304 systems automatically add to the value of the vehicle, and the appearance is exceptional. Because it is the finest material grade available, it also has a higher price point. This material grade frequently carries a lifetime warranty, depending upon the manufacturer.
T409
T409 stainless is the next grade of stainless available, and is probably the best known and most popular, also known as ferritic stainless. T409 is a low-carbon steel that is at least 12 percent chromium. It is a rugged, durable, long-lasting material grade offering a variety of finishes from dull "mill" finish to a high-shine finish. In extreme applications and harsh weather conditions, it can eventually show signs of wear, such as surface rust, but the core of this material will remain solid. It offers a high-value, attractive material selection at a more affordable price.
Thanks for the pics Dave! That looks great
Also, thanks for the insight Volant. I was actually thinking about this tonight and thinking along the same lines as you where you could create your own thing even cheaper than the SLP unit for almost nothing. If you know how to weld you could do it even cheaper than the $50 you said just by going to your local parts store, getting a little bit of pipe, and a tip and you can accomplish the same effect. Obviously, though, if someone was to crawl under your vehicle they'd notice that it wasn't an SLP or Volant product but rather a driveway job but how many people crawl under your vehicle to check that out??

Sweet thanks for replying. Yea I was thinking it was kind of cheap too.. a little too cheap. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to waste that kind of money just for nothing. That's pretty much why I started this thread to get responses from people and to see if it was worth buying... and you bought two! looks like this is my next mod...

So are you saying there is a change that the SLP one will yellow or rust?

sounds exactly like what I'd do! 
Actually, I guess they did it to get the tone they wanted. To me it sounds better without it. Sounds more like a stock Denali or Escalade now.
I may have to head up to the parts store and price out what it'd take me to do this in my drive way while I'm out and about this weekend. If done yourself, I think the most expensive part would be the tip.
