Truck got a compliment...

So, i was going through the drivethrough, getting junk for lunch.
I had to shut off the truck to order, and when i went to pay, i shut off to confirm my order.
the guy confirms it, i pay, and right as i'm about to start it back up, he goes
"nice truck man, what year is it?"
I tell him 96, and thanks for the compliment
he asked about my exhaust system. I told him what it was, he told me he loved the whistle.
i said me too... he he
anyways, that made me extra proud of my truck... thought i'd share...

OBS trucks are the best... Had a guy come up to me the other day in a parking lot, asked me what year my truck was... Told him iit was a 95. He said it looked better than most 05's... Made me feel good.

Girls love the whistle!!!! Everytime one gets in the truck they sa something about it and I always have to make it do it when ever I can. For some reason I get less fuel mileage with girls in the truck LOL. They also like the "Blow off" sound (for those with out ICs it is a lot louder with the IC).

The sound of the air coming bak through the intake after you ar boosting then let off. It sounds like a blow off or waste gate. You can only really here it if you have an after market (6637) intake. Then when you put an intercooler on, it gets louder.
