power of the y-pipe
ok first off this has a little bit of racing in it so mods delete or move accordingly.
if anyone remembers i made a thread a couple months ago about racing my friends 99' short bed silverado with a 5.3. and exhaust. he beat me the first time when i was stock, barely (my front bumper was at his back bumper) well i finally talked him into racing me again saturday night because i put my y-pipe on and i told him i could take him this time (which he didn't believe). we bet a beer and we raced and it wasn't even close i beat him by 2 1/2 to 3 car lengths this time (thats what my friends said). i don't know how i beat him by so much. the only difference between this run and the first was he had his 20's off and his stock wheels on this time (which i thought would make him faster with them off, guess not) so if anyone is questioning whether or not to get a y-pipe definately get one, it helps out sooo much. THANK YOU Y-PIPE!!!!! finally showed him how slow his truck is.

The y pipe is the single most effective mod to a 4th gen imo.
