    I bought mine with an out of state billing address and they let me pick it up from their California shop. They even installed it for me (for a small fee). That was back in 2018. Don’t know if rules have changed.

    Edit:
    I ordered by phone and paid via PayPal. Hope this helps.

    I know on my commercial pressure washer it was recommended in the manual if you store it either fill the tank completely full or completely empty it. I thought that was pretty interesting as I always assumed I should just empty it. Just never know what you will learn if you read the manual.

    Just wanted to double check, is this the right ‘keg’ muffler part number? Going to start accumulating what I need to swap my SC over to the Taco..

    This is a 2018 Ram 1500 Hemi I searched under..

    I’m assuming that’s the Flexpod gauge bracket?
    So you’re happy with it eh? Does it block the stock gauges much?
    Do you have any pictures from different angles?

    point being a steel tank can rust internally without fuel. probably the best to keep it full. completely empty it may still rust a little. thought those lra tanks were aluminum. maybe not an issue but im not certain.

    the flexpod doesnt interfere much. but toyota didnt leave much dash area to get creative with. few choices for my 6 gauges.

    Ya, I’m seriously considering the Magnuson and looking around for good, clean gauge mount options but the pickings seem to be thin.

    I also have the Flexpod. Like it a lot. I dont think it blocks anything important in the gauge cluster. I mean, what are you really looking at those gauges for... your speed? Rpms? Useless information for peasants. Speed and power! is what you need. Measured in AFRs and Boost PSI!

    Speaking of which... did someone say they had a boost gauge for sale?

    Do you have a 2nd gen?
    If I remember correctly, there’s a lot of nice options available for a 2nd gen pillar mount. Not so much for a 3rd.

    I have 6x sets of these. It's a medical grade 60ml (2oz) syringe with a clear tube extension that has a pinch off to stop flow. They are brand new and sterile.

    They've been useful when doing a flush/fill of the supercharger oil and other things.

    Just pay for postage and a padded envelope, and I can send you a set. PM me and we can work out details.
