I'm not an AC guy either, I just watched some youtube videos to figure out how to fix the AC on my wife's truck, an 03 Yukon. Your exhaust looks stock, and from what I've read, the cat and factory y-pipe are the most restrictive stock pieces. I'd upgrade those before I spent the coin on headers. For seats, lots of guys here have taken seats from 99-'06 Tahoes and Burbs and made them work. Again, good looking truck. Do you have any interior pics?
We've gutted the cat, but the rest of the exhaust is stock. I'll look into replacing the Y-pipe as well. Thanks for the info on the seats. I'll get some pics of the interior soon. Other than a small crack in the dash and a few scratches on the rear fender wells its pretty mint. I'm getting ready to redo the stereo...it still has the stock head unit, but it cuts in and out. I'm debating cutting the dash for a new single din headunit or just mounting it in the glovebox and not messing up the dash. I'll probably order the kick panel speaker pods for the front to make the front speakers easier to do.
