    I went with a full mandrel 2.5" true sectioned piece. That smashed factory chunk reduces the diameter by up to 30%. Not like you're going to get more ponies with a stock engine by doing so but hey, if you're going to do something it should be a complete upgrade

    Nope. You'll change your highest output RPM to a higher area. Not "back pressure" that's hogwash. Your exhaust will be less restricted at lower RPM meaning it will not scavenge as efficiently. But it'll do better at a higher RPM. That's why when guys do full 3" exhaust swaps they feel like they lost "low end power" because the exhaust isn't scavenging as well at low-RPM due to a lower velocity* at the header.

    @eon_blue Ryan, next time we meet, I would like to check out your roof rack, PLEASE!!! Who makes the "clamps" and the "rack" itself? How much did it cost you? No drilling required, correct?

    LOL!!! After ALL of those questions, I guess I wouldn't need to see it, LMAO!!! If anything, who makes it though (i.e. the clamping part)? Thanks bro.

    btw, the hashtags are KRAZY funny!!!

    All first gen TRD trucks had the e-locker, with the rare exception of a few that could be built without it.

    Once the 2nd gens came out, they introduced the "TRD Sport"...only the 'TRD Off-road' has the locker.

    This. Sports came(come?) with limited slip differentials which were like neutered lockers at best.

    I didn't increase the size of my exhaust system. It's true now. Your old piece that got cut was the section that was smashed at the factory. Just a crap Toyota design

    Denny's in the background heckling, "BEAT HIS A$$, KNOCK HIS TEETH OUT, KILL HIM!!!" LOL!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Damnit, I don't want to have to drill anything as much as possible. The bed area is okay, but not the cab area! Thanks Denny!!!

    True. It was actually some kind of weird ass pipe-in-pipe setup they had... Not the best design.

    Although their test dyno trucks would have had that same crushed design on them when they were tested :thumbsup:

    They also probably ran 93 octane at 8000ft for maximum horse torques. :rofl:
