    ATO front skid (need more but icon's might fail if I hang anything else from my truck) All-Pro front bumper thanks to a good deal here and a pesky encounter with a rock or 20, total chaos uppers.
    Will it still pass smog with out 2 of the 4 cats? Very curious what gains you get with the headers besides sounding awesome

    Very noticeable power gains! Why didn't I do these a long time ago? It helps spin my 35s a lot since I'm on stock gears.


    I am honestly surprised at the torque increase, I can pull 4th and 5 gear easily with aired down tires in sand. I've never been able to use 5th off road! At the dunes, I love having a testing spot 2 miles from my house I just went on a night run. :D

    What nofirds08 said, and my truck is new I still have a while until smog I think, they we're tricky to install :bananadead:

    2012+ JBA long tubes, they come with 4 o2 bungs, you plug two and use two.

    DT tubes are nice but so much moneys. Nooope not boosted:eek: I'm not about that super charger whine! I would go turbos before super charger, no room with this crossover hoop anyway [​IMG]

    After you Mr. Lang ;) turbo 4 banger GO!

    Thanks dawg! You can spot cheap headers from a mile away! URD had such a good deal on them right now I couldn't say no to these.

    Psc kit is great! Still haven't installed my power steering cooler like a moron but every thing seems to be working vey well and no signs of slowing.

    Hahaha that thing probably roars with all cats removed.
    How are the links?

    I'm shopping around for a set of 14" coilovers to sit on until I can go 4 link.


    Finally getting a secondary hoop made up by dirt designs, install wednesday :woot:
