    Lights are too damn expensive...doesn't help I spent all my moolah on NWF. Now I'm slowly gambling my way to new driveshafts.

    Meh, still need to order the trident shifter which is another $500 so I have to pinch them pennies. Then my console can look like an old crane operator lol. I'll take some of @Sasquatch3153 Ski

    At the risk of getting flamed heavily (I’m ready), Do any of you guys run the HPS silicone tube with the Toyota air flow accelerator? I’ve been looking for some low cost lower end torque/hp without the “race car sound” and it seems this is “a way” to get some. I understand it’s a slow truck and this won’t make much a difference but was just curious if any of ya had an opinion or experience, thanks.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I'm not running the accelerator but I am running the intake tube. In my opinion the only thing that changed was the sound.

    Bummer, seems like that’s what a lot of people say and then the other half claims gains. Would ya not recommend then?

    Honestly, I like the sound, and I've spent money in worse ways, so I'll give it a hesitant yes. Find it on sale if possible. It also clears up space/blings up under the hood so that can be a plus.

    If you want power, super charger or V8 swap. Cold air intakes are a waste of money

    No I know the full up CAI is a waste (mostly because there’s already one in the truck) but the high flow tube is what I was curious about. I’ve read all the threads on the main forum, was just seeing what you local guys thought.

    Separately, does anyone own the ECGS tool? I’m trying to decide which lift kit to buy but I know regardless I’ll need the ECGS bushing. I got beer or whiskey for anyone that has one and willing to let me use it. I got a lotta beer and whiskey for anyone that can help me install it all.

    Really no way to make more power out of these trucks. You could always get it tuned

    Yeah I’m trying REAL HARD not to turn this thing into my tuned up stage 2+ 2013 WRX (I miss that car every day), but I can feel the tug in the back of my head saying “just buy this one little thing, that’ll make it all better”. I just gotta get used to going slow. Love this truck for everything it is, just wish it had a little more balls

    Best advice, thanks. I’m grabbing another WRX when I retire because I miss the old one so much. I can’t make my truck into a WRX just as much as I could t make my WRX into a truck (I tried haha).
