It sounds pretty well. A lot better then mine.

 

Now u make me wanna paint her flat black

Big fan of the man here

Thanks for the compliment, its a never ending deal and I have been thru the stock piping with a flowmaster 40 (too much drone)........... Then on to the URD 3" exhaust/headers/ypipe (too much rasp)

to what we have now with the swap from the URD supplied magnaflow (huge muffler), to a flowmaster super44 on 3" piping and most recently the URD TCAI.

Im sure Im not done.......... I still have that damn pulley staring at me in the garage.... If I can find someone to do the swap, I may go that route.

I also need to do a VB upgrade.

next will prolly be a simple experiment with the gauges (AFR and boost)..... I am gunna try different shades of tint film because the boost gauge can be bright at night, and I also want to see if I can make a "phantom" style gauge with the tint film. Basically I want the 2 gauges to go black when the truck is off.

Just limited with what I can do here lately.

Still waiting on the lower MX mesh to come in........ My buddy will be helping with that, but he cannot help with the blower pulley.

 

Shoot me ideas for more vids.............

I know I need to get Tor a 40-90 pull for XRU.

I also wanna see if the headers glow at all under certain situations..... If so, that could prove to be a badass video right?

At just the right time, I can hear it ALMOST sound like open headers.... It must be the "burble" of the flowmaster tho. usually at idle and load rpm, low load.

There is so many factors involved in the sound produce by the exhaust.

On my side i have the DTLT + DT Y-Pipe + TRD catback + Vibrant ultraquiet resonator. It doesn't sound bad but not throaty like your.

 

What's the problem with the pulley? I you have the tool, it's not too bad to do. It will awake your SC. On my side it was a 17 HP gain at peak (less important) but 34 lbs-pi at 3650 rpm.

I would like the VB upgrade too but it's a bit more complicated cause you have to send your unit.

My innovate gages have a 2 intensity light. At night when truck light are on, the gage's light is less bright.

 

I can't do anything that causes me to twist my back right now.

As for psi, I peak at 6.5-7 weather permitting.

 

Get some old tires to put on the rear and roast them down to the wheels doing donuts in the dark. That should let us see your headers glow (if they do) and if not we can see you roll flames off of your tires

The only downside is that when the tires do go they may damage your bedsides...

I'd be willing to do it, but my bedsides can't get much worse. haha I'd have to go down to your elevation to be able to do it without boost though... Not enough go out of my motor at 5000 ft...

 

Yeah that is pretty high on the stock pulley.

I'm damn near sea level and I peak at 7.5 with my 2.85.

 

With the stock pulley it was around 5.5-6 psi.

With the 2.85 pulley it's mostly 7.5 psi at sea level in summer conditions but i've obtained something like 9 psi in winter season at -30C. OMG the truck was loving it and pulling very hard.

 

I think a friend will loan me his gopro 3 for another vid.......... LMK of any cheap/free 265/75/16 tires I can burn off.

or 265/70/16

that stage 1 STi I met earlier may let me borrow another camera too

 

My DSMS hat needs to retire finally

thanks again!

 

lmao.............. ur welcome sir!

Ill let Sonny know

 

All the hicks here be like ....whats DSMS?
