    Thank you and I appreciate the referral bud.

    I think he was satisfied with the work.

    I was really happy with the way it turned out, you did a really good job on the design of the kit, lemme know if you have any others you dont have time to do, I will happily take your overflow work..:D

    I hope I met your expectations of the install, after all its your first one not on your truck right?

    Can someone please help me figure out what's going on with my truck. About 20 min I got into my truck and started it up, immediately the check engine light starts blinking and the idle seems pretty rough in drive, and when I finally start driving it just doesn't seem to accelerate correctly or anything but the rpms seem to be normal. It also seems alot louder, anyone have any ideas? Anything helps

    I find it hard to believe that the police can't set up an operation to buy the titanium from all these crack heads and bust em all. I am sure that at any scrap yard a critter with a bunch of Ti is a total red flag!

    That's what I was thinking I live by sdsu and park my truck outside so that's the first thing I suspected but I don't see anything missing. The idle has gone down a little but the check engine light is still on so I have no clue

    Check O2 sensor, area make sure the bung area didn't crack. That would add noise and throw a code

    I just uploaded pics to my gallery but I'm doing all this on my phone since my 1.5 year old MacBook Pros hard drive already crashed. So maybe you guys can see something I can't, thanks for all the help. I really can't afford a costly repair job after this trip

    With the check engine light blinking the ECU is going into safe mode. You need to pull that code as soon as possible...
