Awesome! I want to say I love mine, but I don't think I'll value them until I get my FI CBE from Tony in the several weeks to come.

I haven't noticed any improved sounds but I may or may not have noticed the mentioned hissing noise that you get with aftermarket products. More to come on this as I only drove my car around the block before tucking it in the garage for the day.

Let us all know what you think of the new pipes once you get them installed :)

That strut bar looks nice Brad. I don't like how my cusco has gotten all scraped up on the top from the heat shield on the bottom side of the hood.

Hey, I didn't mean any offense. I've been thinking about getting rid of the truck actually. It's a gas guzzler. It's more a toy then a daily driver. It's paid off though, so...... See my delima.

How bad is the rubbing? I thought about getting a Cusco FSTB later on. I find it interesting that you strut bar is rubbing and yet GoFightNguyen isn't rubbing. Wonder if it's the difference between the coupe and the sedan?

It's pretty bad. I'll take some pics and post them so you can see and like I had mentioned previously it seems to have started rubbing more after the coilover install. Maybe the tech didn't install the sway bar correctly after replacing it :dunno: I'll have to check that today. I haven't been under the in a while and I finally noticed it after I installed the alum overflow tank.

Any time you modify a car in a way that affects how the driver interacts, because of something mechanical, audible, or a change in the drive-train, exhaust, suspension, etc... it takes a whole lot more than driving around the block to make a fair assessment. Particularly if your expectations are heightened. Sometimes it takes a while, and sometimes the change is instantly amazing; (swaybars.)

That doesn't invalidate first impressions. And often first impressions set the stage as predisposition on final thoughts. Just saying, give it time. I suspect you'll come to appreciate the mod more as you live with it.

That's months out. Probably March or April. But when it happens, I'll absolutely talk about it somewhere. This thread, too, if it's still going strong. In fact, you probably won't be able to shut me up.

Oh I know you didn't mean any offense, none taken haha, yeah I bet the truck is a gas guzzler :hsugh: but it's always nice to have another car so whenever you are working on a project so you can take your time when painting your headlights and adding rings or whatsoever, so everything the paint dries properly and headlights seal properly etc etc. that's why I can't do my headlights myself and take couple days, with that being said once I'm ready somebody is gonna work on them for me throughout one day :rolleyes: :dunno:

I've seen some really nice work done in this forum. I just don't have the nerve to tear open those lights myself. (no matter how easy it seem) I really dig the Evil IronMan lights a guy posted up a few weeks ago. They looked just right for my ride. I use my truck mainly to help friends move, hunt, and to go surfing each Friday. It was my DD until I became able to afford the G.

Yeah I get your point there , it's all nice until you gotta put gas in it haha. and speaking of evil Iron Mans I was gonna get those done , loved it above and beyond BUT ! I just thought of the possible consequences incase one or the other LED(s) burn out every once in a while, then this would be a PITA to take the headlights apart on and off and reseal them and install over and over every once in a while so I just decided to get them done nice,clean and simple when I'm ready to pull the trigger :hsugh:



speaking of 6MT SUV's my choice would be Porsche Cayenne GTS( 405-hp, 4.8-liter V-8) even though Turbo S seems a lot better, more tempting and a lot more powerful, and of course a lot more expensive they don't make Turbo or Turbo S models 6MT As far as I know...GTS or Turbo S both really sexy and 6MT SUV's and REALLY FAST (Turbo S-550-hp) if you ask me :hsugh:
