If you are looking for a system that you can just bolt on, give FLP a look :yesnod:

Thanks Smoke, didn't realize that was an option. Looks like you could do the complete install in your garage. Any ideas on price, reliability(leaks), sound (with stock mufflers), and performance?

You can install them in your garage but it is much, much easier with a lift for you can install them from underneath without taken parts off... All I hear are great things about them and mine are on the way. You can do a search on these for the responses that many members have. Give Mitch a call for he will square you away along with the great service :yesnod: Here is a link for you below and good luck!
