    Next months truck payment.

    The exhaust you can see and here, you'll forget the intake is under hood. I'd get the exhaust.

    Explain some more on the breather mod please

    Also, so far I changed the spark plugs, air filter, radiator lower and upper hoses, drained and filled the coolant, thermostat, PCV valve. I also ran redline complete fuel system cleaner, which made a huge difference in power.

    I'm going to change the oil soon to Castro extended performance.

    I'm also planning on changing the rear diff fluid. I'm trying to decide on which fluid to use.

    This and then a decent set of springs. Cutting the rear shackle hangers off was good enough to where i wanted to cut the factory lca mounts off

    Unfortunately, no. I can tell you though, the resonator is required. Without it, it'll sound very raspy.

    How does the car hold up after a year of using the sprint booster?


    I actually never heard of Focal RSE 165... How's the sound quality? Any bass?

    As far as I, a rank amateur opinion giver, can tell the truck is holding up quite well. MPG = 25 mpg mixed driving with an egg under the gas pedal, 140K miles, burns no appreciable oil and is a very enjoyable drive.

    I got the Focals from Crutchfield and to my 77 year old ears they are a big improvement over stock. Eric Clapton and Neil Dixmond never sounded better in a Tacoma.
