I am so glad I live in the South, that crappy salt ruins so many nice cars.

Snowseeker - I'm probably going to end up doing that to my factory up pipe as the crappy one is leaking.

Hey Bently_Coop,

RobRoss is correct. Since IMASAP is suggesting I stiff the TaxMan and instead spend the cash on the Rhino, I figure my build may need to include some Armor for when they come-a-lookin'.

I have been thinking about the hood vents for a while now, they can be bought here: http://www.hoodlouvers.com/shop/powd...ack-hi-flow-2/

I agree, I even have a lot of the pieces needed to make my Ex look like these, all but the armor

Got back in my 18 wheel today for the first time in a month and wow I have really been missing that turbo whistle. I miss the whistle my 01 Ex had. This 02 that I have now has a Banks ram air system in now but it muffled the whistle and creates a really odd sucking /whoosh noise. I'm looking forward to putting in the billet wheel from riffraff diesel to see if I can recover some of that whistle. I'm kinda torn as to whether I want to swap to a different intake or keep this one I have in the name of getting my whistle back

Not exactly perfect but it will pass inspection!


However we hit another snag... Forgot a jack stand under the truck and seriously bent the tie rod when backing the truck off the stands. That's tonight's new project

Saw them in person and they are super nice. Hard to install, but then again I was only trying to get them out and only had a minute while my wife was trying to distract Twitchy while I did it. Might be easier with the hood popped...
