TRD/ Magnuson 4.0 Supercharger Tips, Tricks, and Mods

So when are you gonna cut the blower and relocate the air intake? @Roostfactor

 

Hopefully next week is very boost-ductive...

 

Well shit! You're not supposed to be ready that soon. But it will make me happy if you do!
I have to get caught up on y-pipe orders before even thinking of that task.
Also looking for jobs, etc has me pretty busy right now.

 

U can buy my 76mm $120 shipped.

 

I'm interested ... are there any good sound clips out there?

 

Had a little issue with the charge tubing bead, near the TB. Popped the tubing out, added a new bead a 1/4" away, further from the one close to the TB, and back on it went. 15 minute job, including prep. I love the freedom of welding!

Now I don't have to worry about that next week. Game on Broski!

 

The only one I have seen is from @Murphinator. He has a Banks exhaust mated to it. The video is here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/roostfactor’s-equal-length-y-pipe.562388/page-23

 

You coined it man....liberating!

 

Stay tuned my friend. Hopefully this weekend I'll get some done and posted. No doubt it's one of my favorite mods.

 

Hey, didn't you say that once before?!

I'm patiently(yeah right!) awaiting my turn in the Roostfactor line, but I could really do with another sound clip to keep me salivating. Maybe one of a drive by, if you are so inclined.

 

I'm really bad with doing it myself. Another tw member is going to give me a hand. I can try myself tonight. Cant promise I'll be able to upload as I stink at tech stuff.

 

I'm just giving you chit. But seriously tho, a sound clip would be awesome.

 

Literally the first time that I have heard the video. Has to be the smoothest toned exhaust that I have heard. I listen to it through the radio in my truck.

 

Ok, sooooo not to rain on anyone's parade here.. and as much as I really like and can appreciate that beautiful Y-pipe... I just cant bring myself to spend the $$$$. Especially knowing it will see some abuse, and it deserves better that that.

I want to ditch my current Y-pipe (local shop built high clearance w/ cats plus exhaust) for something with no cats. I still intend to keep my emissions legal Y-pipe.. but I want the flow of not having any cats, especially when at the sand drags. I currently have the URD equal lengths, into mentioned y-pipe with cats, into 3" with Borla and Magnaflow mufflers. Love the sound and volume currently, I know it will change, that's not a concern here.. I cant seem to find a shop willing to make me one.. due to emissions. I see AFE makes one.. at roughly 500 bucks. Super tempting, but I still think a shop can make me one for less. I don't need anything fancy, I know it will get abused.

I'm also wondering if it will free up enough flow to solve this surging issue I've been encountering..

 

Yeah, that is extremely smooth. I will have to try and take another video of my gauges to show that the Ucon is working and I am not pig rich now. Then I can compare to when I was rich and see if that changed the exhaust tone much. That and the cam pulleys seem to have made it sound better.

 

I’ve probably watched/listened to that video at least 20 times. Roost, I can’t wait to get one of these!

 

You have any pictures of it? Why are you selling it?

 

I told y’all, the JFR tuned equal length y-pipe is no joke. Right up there with the supercharger, flip a coin. It gurgles too. With the 50 degree temperatures for the first time, the top end is crazy. Once the power band hits it’s just a smooth, very hard pull til redline. It wants more, but it shifts.

 

I totally understand bro. Trust me, I never had any intention of making more than one for myself. Then @loginfailed didnt like the way his exhaust sounded with the URD so I hooked him up. Shortly after @White lightning boosted wanted one and others just started showing interest.
A few of the members have seen part of the process making it and afterward said HOLY SH÷! I had no idea how much work and time went into making it.

I highly doubt a muffler shop can make anything close to it mandrel bent. Even with mild steel. Also dont miss the most important point. The length of the pipe is VERY important along with the merge collector.

You dont just take two pieces of pipe and half ass try to make equal length with crush bends and a standard collector. Will it work? Yes it will let exhaust out but nowhere near the efficiency and as a byproduct a super bitchen exhaust note.

I took no offense to your concerns and fully understand.
Good luck in your quest.

A lesson I learned in exhaust. Having custom work done is VERY expensive. Few will even do it. It's far cheaper to buy premade when possible. I spent 800 having muffler forward welding done.
