When I bought my 2018 Silverado I absolutely fell in love with the Black Widow version. I also didn't love the hefty price tag that comes with. All the modifications I intend to do are to the outside. Specifically the 6 inch true lift, 20 inch Black widow rims, 35 inch all terrain tires, and the fender flares. Aside from the tires ( I can get those anywhere), and out of everything I am looking for it looks like you can only buy the rims from their website. It says reach out to them and they will put you in touch with a dealer that carries their stuff. Dealership prices are crazy. Looking over their website and videos it seems like a very mom and pop type business, which there is nothing wrong with that, but I am surprised they were able to cut deals with major truck brands. I get the impression SCA is not all that big? Anyways, has anyone had any experience with doing the Black Widow like upgrades to their truck? Any cost cutting measures you would do if you had to do it all over again?

Hey guys, finally put an exhaust on the truck! Shout out to @Gorske as he's the one who turned me onto this exhaust (without trying lol) and the Corsa tip. Let's get to it! Muffler shop removed muffler, flapper, and resonator. I kept the 3rd cat in place. They installed the Venom 250 (center / offset) 3" version which I ordered directly from the Black Widow website. They used 3" piping to fill in all the gaps. I'm very, very happy with the sound so far. The only thing I can compare it to is the Flowmaster 40 series which I had on my Avalanche. I know that sound is subjective, so take this with a grain of salt I guess, but, the Venom 250 sounds sooo much cleaner than the Flowmaster did. I'm not really sure how else to describe it, just a really great clear rumble. The flowmaster always seemed to have like a resonance sound. I've only driven about 4 miles on the highway so far during rush hour, traffic was moving 65 - 70mph but was really heavy. I was so surprised to hear little to no drone. I purposely shifted it to 7th and even 6th as I was like the drone is gotta be somewhere! But nope - as the RPMs got higher in 7th and 6th, all you hear is literally the exhaust sound, not a mind numbing drone. I'm going to do a little highway this weekend Saturday or Sunday morning just so I can really get a feel for it without traffic around. The AFM v4 mode is not disabled on my truck and I don't have any intentions to get the Range device or tune it out anytime soon. I likely will get my truck tuned once the warranty is out, and at that time I'll most likely have the AFM disabled. It does have quite the helicopter sound especially as you load up the engine in v4 mode. Interestingly, it's really only bad at slow speeds, say 20-45mph. When I was on the highway I noticed it dropped into v4 mode a couple times at 65mph, I don't recall noticing any helicopter sound, I think the higher RPMs must help. The 8 speed is literally lugging the engine as low as 1000rpm in different gears between 20 - 40 mph, so that has to be the main reason it's so bad in the speed range. I've just been driving in M7 through the suburbs most of the time, depends if I feel like hearing the noise or not. Ok, here is a quick video I took. Sound got a little distorted unfortunately. I plan on making a far more thorough video with many points of view, however it'll probably be up to a month before I make it. I'm going to shoot it up north where I don't have to worry about seeing traffic. I'll make sure to that video on this forum as well. Let's see if I can get this right.. I don't know how to embed https://youtu.be/p7GfTd6LFwM
