                Lol i have about a 50:1 cop pass to pull over ratio because of it. Problem isnt the ones driving its the ones sitting that actually notice it. The cop was cool about it and just told me to fix it but i dont really wanna push my luck. Ive got more pipe in front of my engine then most have behind theres but its still super loud. Quieted it down a bit when i got the 3" ovalized back to the axel bur without a muffler its still loud.

                    So how do you like it so far? Does it seem to be worth the extra work compared to one of those Mxx/Sxx swaps? I do hope so, because goddamn this is costing me a lot of money :(

                    Comment


                      Definitely worth it, imo. Much better sound, torque literally EVERYWHERE(I was going up hill, in 5th, at ~35-40mph and went slightly on the throttle and it started pulling/ accelerating with ease. What all is costing you tons of money? It should end up being cheaper if done correctly(read: not how I did it).

                          Check out my thread dude... too much high dollar stuff in there :(


                          But then again, I'm not going through all this trouble for it to not work right / blow up on me.

                              Lol with the 4.10 i pretty much stick it in 4th and dont take it out til i stop or get on the freeway. Its pretty rad

                              Just curious what is you pan capacity? My pan only holds like 3.5 quarts to the max fill line. I always run about a half quart high because i dont trust it but it oil pressure stays between 50 and 65 so i guess its ok. Im gonna wind up either running an off road style with the dual pickup style (like the ones on 4x4s that need the clearance for the front axel) or just making anouther pan and clearancing for the stsering rack/bolts but
                              Not cutting as much out. The pan was already clearanced and ive got like 3/4" clearance aft of the steering rack bolts. Alot of wasted capacity.
