    Yeah, although I don't know what a genie lamp has anything to do with it. It's all Japanese mumbo jumbo, I don't pay attention to that shit anyway. :cool:

    IMG_0246_zpsxdcaggkw_d9b84fd9fca208344b03ea9a4a056e53409d63da.jpg

    Now I need to get that fuel pump done and the 2.2" back on to match.

    My truck is a 2 stroke. That's the ratio of oil to gas I mix to put in that hole in that engine. Becaus that's where gas is burned...in the engine. It only makes sense to fill it up there. Those japs are so smart!

    Well crawled under the truck and looks like my rack is leaking at the steering shaft input. I'm assuming this means a new rack soon? It's not dripping on the ground yet, but the rack itself is pretty wet. OEM racks run around 800-900$ correct?

    Thanks guys. I got em from a fellow TW member. They are Doug Thorley and URD sells them too. Monte is of course right, S/C pulley would be undersized, however that is an idler pulley (much larger), because why not.

    I had them installed because I didn't feel like finding out! ;) After talking with the guy I had do it, the biggest issue was removing the stock manifolds and crossover. They were a PITA for him and he ended up cutting the crossover out. The transmission dipstick had to be moved over slightly and he made a custom bracket to do so and the first Magnaflow Cat had to be cut to fit since it was designed for the shorter stock crossover connection.

    They definitely look odd. I never would have imagined spending the money on a full exhaust on a V6. The power is noticeable and the sound is much more free flowing! Its louder in the cab because you can hear the exhaust flow more through the thin walled tubing as opposed to the cast manifolds. The increase in exhaust flow has also up'd the boost from 6 PSI to 8PSI! Therefore, I'm not going to get a smaller S/C pulley.
