But your truck is 4x4, so it all makes sense.

You can still keep your truck quiet and run stack(s). Better yet, kep a super quiet exhaust system for hunting and add a cutout coming right off your headers for when you want to get loud and nasty.

No, he's Bob from the Enzyte commercials.

If that stuff really made people that happy I would be buying it in bulk and passing it out. The world would be a better place.

Soon to be 45, wear many money hats, but by far the largest is working for the US Treasury, in an agency you dont like, on an OS I helped write at IBM.

Next up is my auto, marine. motorcycle, atv shop

and lastly is my all but deactivated contruction biz. Everytime I want to shut it down someone needs my backhoe, or a roof or a house wired...(the IRS frowns on reporting roofing income on an auto shop ledger....)
