Loginfailed's Stolen Idea Emporium (plus BS)

Slightly louder than I hoped for, but the resonators helped a lot.

 

How’s the rasp? I wanna get urd ypipe with cat back. I have dtlt headers now. But everyone says that combo is tons of rasp.

 

I don’t detect any rasp. Only low tones. But that is from the in-cab perspective. Maybe I need to do a drive-by video.

 

Sounds freakin killer. Appears to only get that throaty loud sound when you rev it high quickly

 

It does that also when under load. So basically anytime I'm accelerating. Its pretty decent, just a tad louder than I'd like. Getting used to it though.

Freeway underpasses though, DEEP AF and LOUD AF!

 

Maaaaaaaaaaanuh. I've been wanting a little noise lately

 

littlebnouse, is that some new internet slang?

I installed the SOS streamline today. No winch just yet. Waiting on Santa,

 

Changed the oil on the Taco this morning.

I rigged up this little root beer can with a bungee cord to catch the oil when the filter comes off.



I also ran a rubber hose through the driver fender well to make draining the catch can a little easier and less messy.




This is about 3,000 miles worth.

 

Thats a pretty neat idea with the catch can. My ADD W1 didn't have a bottom drain, it just unscrewed and I poured it out. It could be a pain if it was on there tight though, hard to get my hands in and break it free. I used a deer park water bottle on mine when it was NA and it would fit perfectly under the nipple for the oil filter drain. Post SC install, I just had to hold the bottle there.
My AOS on the subie has a drain that automatically dumps any oil caught back into the system. It is a clever design. It also uses hose that circulates coolant around it so to keep condensation build up to a minimum.

 

Pretty cool how Subie has it set up. How you liking the new ride?

The Moroso has a 90 degree outlet on the bottom with a lever you can flip to open and drain. Makes it easy to drain because you don't have to un-screw the bottom.

 

Looks much easier than the one I had. Quarter turn ball valve and you're done.

Loving the subie. We had a small amount of snow yesterday, but it didn't even stick to the roads. So I didn't even get a chance to try out my blizzaks. I am currently looking at the rally armor mud flaps to try to keep some of the road crap off the paint. Likely will get a set after Christmas.

 

Messed around with my processor a little bit. Audio Control finally came out with the MacOS version of their tuning app which is nice. Now I won’t have to boot into windows. Now if only iTronix would make the uTune software work in MacOS.

 

Killer build. Love all the diy

 

Thanks, sir! Nobody wrenches on this truck but me. Obviously I don’t build bumpers or superchargers or headers, but I can bolt em’ on!

 

IPT transmission came today. Maybe a Saturday install session. Woot!

 

Oooooo

 

Youre gonna have a frankenmonster with a tacoma frame soon.


I approve

 

Hopefully the install goes smoothly and no issues from the new trans. It’ll be nice to have 5th gear again. 3500 RPM @ 70 MPH, I try to avoid long trips at the moment.

John at IPT told me once the trans is installed, to ship him my old valve body and he’ll fix it for me so I’ll have a good trans to keep as a spare or sell. Cool dude.

If anyone needs a valve body, I have a brand new one from the dealer, I’ll be putting up for sale soon.
