just wanted to share some updates

I'm not much for posting on forums but one thing that drove me to make this post is the hope that it will appear on google searches. I know I spent a lot of time trying to find any and all information and reviews on the stuff I wanted to do for my '13 CM. Sadly there was little I could find. So, if this post garners any sort of attention and/or helps at least one person who was in my spot, I'll be glad.
As mentioned, I have a 2013 CM in super white; 5.7L RWD. Older upgrades I have on the truck are a heavily upgraded audio system and exterior/performance mods which include:
-Alpine Halo floating receiver
-6.5" Infinity Kappa's all around all amplified by 4 channel DB drive amp
-Four 10" JL shallow mounts in custom box powered by two DB drive monoblocks
-Full LED headlights/tail lights
-Belltech 2/4 drop kit
-22" Strada wheels, gloss black milled
-Dirty Deeds BAMuffler 8" system
-BD Tuner

So as for the most recent upgrades, which is the main reason for the post, I had some Hooker Blackheart headers and an aFe stage 2 intake done. Sadly I didn't dyno it at any point but I hope to soon. I won't have anything to compare it to, but I'll still enjoy getting it done and seeing what results turn up. The truck feels amazing! I do feel a slight difference, though not every single time, with WOT. I will say this, the tires slip a lot more now then before when I floor it. Whether or not that's any indication of "true power gains" I couldn't tell you but I'm sure someone will chime in. The sound is probably the absolute best part though, I can't get enough of that growl. My kids say the truck sounds angry and I think they nailed it. Before the headers the BAMuffler already gave her an amazing sound when stepping on it but now it's like amplified. The long and short of it is that I am beyond happy with my results and it was definitely worth the risk of investing all that money. So if anyone out there is looking for headers or intakes and come across these particular ones, you have at least one person who ABSOLUTELY advocates for them! Didn't go with the LT JBA like 90% of everyone else who gets headers or at least talks about them (case in point, I couldn't find much of anything else when I tried researching headers) because in the end, it was just too much of a pain in the ass to go through all that mess with the cats and mid pipes and blah blah blah. Again, I'm not in the least disappointed and that's honestly all that matters. I'm not trying to break any quarter mile records or build a 10 second truck. I'm not trying to boast my vehicle as a hellcat or Z06 killer or anything of the sort. I just want my truck to be fun to drive and look and sound amazing. So far, I've done a pretty good job if I do say so myself...just my two cents for what little it's worth.
I'll try to post some pics and/or vids of the exhaust or even a cold startup (with the super low temps lately cold startup sounds just WOW). Thanks for reading!

 

I’d really like to see how the Strada wheels look with the Belltech kit. Are they the Codas with a 28mm offset?
