    I drove around today and it's like I left every bolt on the front end loose. Not only can you hear them popping but you can feel it in your feet. Makes the truck feel like a piece of crap.

    Fuck, my luck hasn’t been the greatest lately and wouldn’t be surprised if mine is from the same batch. My friend and a couple co-workers have these and rave about’em. There’s any way of figuring out if there’s a batch number that can be found on the box or paperwork inside?

    Fuck man that’s sad to hear lol. I was looking at JBA’s too but that red is too much. I did read that repainting them wouldn’t void their warranty. I currently have Icon Tubulars and the poly bushings squeaking every so often get annoying quick

    I feel you dude, in high school I would've painted them red if they were black.

    I noticed a hole in my muffler a few weeks ago and finally decided to attempt to fill the holes with weld... The muffler rusted metal was more thin than paper and i put a nickle size hole it it with my attempt.
    That was my deciding factor for new exhaust.

    I went with the magnaflow off road series s.s. axle dump.
    IMG_20191001_181535_01.jpg 20191003_165703.jpg 20191003_171235.jpg
    Install only took 30 mins. I ordered a new graphite flex seal for the ypipe and the two bolts that connect the ypipe to the back half of the exhaust. I didnt use the flex seal because i jad it replaced 2 years ago and it looked pretry much just like the brand new one. The bolts i did replace and put antiseize on them.

    It sounds SO [swear words] AWESOME!
