    I have 300k on my originals and they’re still good.

    I replaced the originals on my corolla at 700kish

    Kind sirs, could y’all give me some exhaust recommendations please. CatBackStock is my preference, but if there are any mild performance gains as far as HP or MPG... id consider those. A stainless setup would be nice. I do NOT want to sound like a street tuner. Quiet is my preference. I may install the Supercharger available one day so perhaps something with that application in mind.

    no real big gains from exhaust unless you do headers. but you will hear alot more tinniness through the firewall if you do that. OEM catback isnt too ridiculously priced if you want good as original

    Not everyone will get a kick out of these like I do. K-mart branded fog lamps from the 80s. These are seriously well made, in Japan. Those are very high quality wire connectors found on Japanese motorcycles from the 70s and 80s. Even the toggle switch, you guessed it, made in Japan. Thick glass, very bright halogen with quality chrome and hardware. I’m gonna run it as is out of the box. And yes, that’s a big K in the glass. Stands for kick ass!! Seriously, any info on who made these?

    Nice!
    Were those from the 80’s like they’ve been in the original packing since they were made back in the 80’s?

    Yes sir! Price says 13.88, adjusted for inflation that’s about $50, which is still a good deal!

    100% sure my truck is a 4 cylinder manual and the frame I used is from a 4 cylinder automatic. The crossmember is 3 inches set back on the automatic frame. This may be different for v6 frames.

    Some rust, runs good.
    I got the frame in today and the cab bolted on. As well as new very pretty motor mounts. Then i needed to mow, but the 46 year old lawn mower broke, so I had to fix that, then it started storming so I’m off the hook for mowing.
