....................and the BADP 5" TBE jumped into its place.
opcorn: Got to work on it 5 minutes after it showed up yesterday.:woot:
I love the sound and sure get looks like crazy around town. The install was not overly dificult. Hardest part was lowering the tranny crossmember(not hard). It took me 4 hours to install. I was all by my self and didnt have a impact. I did it all by hand. I think I will zip the new clamps at work though just to make sure. I still also have to figure out how I want to clean up all the excess wiring and such. Also need to figure out alignment a little better. the hanger for the bunged section of pipe would not line up and I think its cause I tightened the downpipe to turbo clamp to soon.
Overall sound is A+ at idle it sounds mean at half throttle it sounds mean and when you get on it with the chips turned up it is WICKED. I love my truck again and dont miss my '01 at all anymore. There is a little drone at 70 mph that I will have to see if I can live with. I didnt get her done till it was dark so I have not got to see the smoke yet. EGR will fall off here in the next few days after I finish cleaning up the exhaust.
I would say the exhaust is the best thing I did to the truck. I dont have a turbo pop any more with the AFE like I used to and the hesitation is not nearly as bad getting onto the throttle. :beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer
