New Mods

Just had a few items popped on this week: new Rancho shock around, MBRP 4" exhaust with muffler delete and a BTS VB. It's not as loud as I expected, almost no difference with the windows closed at 55-60 MPH than with the stock exhaust. The VB shifts a little "crisper" than before, but not harsh. I have only driven it to work this morning and will be watching to see what all I can tell different.

congrats on the new mods.

drive with your back passanger window down, you'll hear the difference! also you should see lower EGT's.

did the ranchos help with the ride quality?

It's been too cold and rainy to drive with the back window open, can't wait until summer! I can hear it with the back passenger window open and that sounds great. I have noticed a 50-75 degree reduction in EGT at 55 MPH driving the last two days, running about 550 on level ground. I like what I am feeling with the Rancho shocks so far, I guess I really did need to get new ones.
