    I appreciate the links, but I returned the HF welder this weekend. I'll borrow/rent Bandido's for this project and depending how I like doing this, buy a MIG unit.

    Bloob is getting a sound enhancement today....

    Carven Exhaust makes, IMO, the best sounding exhaust for this truck. Their systems are pretty new as well, not many folks running them. They are a fairly reasonable price too. Unfortunately, they only make cat-backs for the short wheelbase. That leaves poor ol' Bloob feeling sad and unwanted...

    So, I bought her just the muffler, because I don't need all the extra piping and exhaust tip and all that shit. I'm having a shop chop out the stock unit and weld in the new one with a turndown straight off the muffler. All in, less than half the cat-back price.

    I can't wait to hear it...

    I mean, it's a camry motor. Now it just needs a wing and purple fog lights to really get that "import tuner" look :rofl:

    I was a fan of @Jibbs MBRP. The Flowmaster 40 and 50 series' sound decent too.
    I've got an AC, so I'm bound to hear noise while driving. What's a little exhaust drone gonna hurt!? lol

    She's got an attitude now...

    It's, uh, loud with the turn-down after the muffler. All that noise bouncing off the pavement and reverberating in the bed.

    They tucked it nice and high and, as always, did a great job. I highly recommended Bluegrass Muffler and Brake.

    Trying to figure out how to put a video in. I'm a techno-tard sometimes

    the little blips i did sounded like shit. I think the phone microphone started to level out the audio.

    it's a little drone-y around 2,000 and kinda rowdy until the valve timing changes at 3,500. Then it just sings. I love this engine in the upper power band, it's so freaking smooth and eager

    Thanks!

    I never had any issues with the spacers. I ran them over 15,000 miles and they were flawless. Technically, the Spidertrax and Boras are hub adapters. my brother is running them now, no issues on his end either.

    At the time of the spacers, Cooper ST MAXX 255/85r16.

    Now, i have wheels with proper offset so no spacers needed.
