No boost tubes, you won't really hear a difference without the muffler.

I'm so minitarded

so i had it up last night and right away i noticed it was the skid plate... i installed it in such a hurry that if you would believe, i mounted it upside down! so it was hitting the trans and oil pan... wow what a simple fix that was.. 100% better and rechecked for any tube leaks and it was all good. reset my ecu and got my snap back thank you to any one who helped

Nice! Did the vibrations go away and the Rockstar sticker is a nice touch though no one is ever going to see it.
