Hey FarmTruc:

I would like to do these mods.

However, for towing that 40 series flowmaster will be a real pain for towing. Can you recommend a low resonance, not loud muffler that my wife won't kill me for putting on that will give nearly the same performance?

Also, could you give the part number on the Pacesetter headers your recommending for the 5.3? Do those pacesetter's get hotter than stock?

I have a 2005 Avalanche, 4x4, 3.42, 5.3L.

Does the cam kit come with everything I'll need? Any recommendations on installers in the Cincinnati area?

I just have a drop in K&N filter - is that adequate? It is the bigger one - the same size that comes on the 8.1 L motor.

What order would you recommend the install?

Headers, muffler, cam , then your tune?

I'm a novice!

Thanks for the help.
