ARH. Was planning on going ORY into a 4" but **** that's going to be stupid loud with my setup. Might go with a catted y pipe and into my 3.5" exhaust I have now.

I didn't realize till later but the shop that installed my muffler actually put in a 3" instead of 3.5" and slid it inside both ends of the factory piping. So at a minimum I want to get that replaced with a 3.5" muffler and then also have them weld a few bends and have it extend out the back by the bumper. Right now it's dumped under the bed which doesn't help with drone and sound inside the cab.
On stock cooler I am seeing 140-150ish if I am EXTREMELY nice to it. If I drive like I normally do around town I was seeing 180-190.

Will install the tru cool when I get back home in a couple weeks. Got all the parts, just need to paint it black and have Roger help me fab up a bracket. He had a good idea for how to mount it. Plus I have 3 piece billet grille I need to install which is going to be easiest to do if I take the bumper off so might as well put the tru cool in when the bumper is off

 

ok not bad im seeing 160* on Texas heat stock stall with my tru, cool hope itll be ok

 

did anchorage go through with getting rid of IM testing or is that still a concern? or are you in the valley?

 

I am out in the valley

 

Im running Pacesetter LT, ORY and a 4" exhaust with a 14" magnaflow. And I still DD it. Not too bad. But I may swap to a 20" muffler to help dull it down.

 

Anchorage did eliminate the I/M program recently. One of my buddies that lives there rolled into Muffler City with open headers today, and they reluctantly put exhaust on his truck. He had to get either the manager or owner involved, but they did it.

 

You call him a buddy and you let him go to Muffler City? Those idiots are never touching my truck again.

 

He goes there against my recommendation.

 

Lmao once upon a time in a different life I was employed at that establishment. Better off if you just keep on driving by and not stopping. That's my .02

 

Roger did a hands down amazing job installing the Tru Cool for me. Looks factory and like it came that way from the factory.
Factory cooler


About half way done..


and I forgot to take pictures after this but it turned out great.




Also cut the u bolts from when I did the shackles since they had a lot of extra hanging down.


And got my grille installed. I thought the main one was the cut out style but it just bolted over the OEM grill. Came out pretty decent I think. I have an insert for where the licence plate bracket and tow hooks are but I don't think I will install it. Don't want to give up my tow hooks.





Also got an oil change...



Anyways. The Tru Cool made a HUGE difference. Before with the stock cooler I was seeing 170-190 after driving like a jack ***. Now after the cooler I got on it all the way home, kicked it in tow/haul for half the way and did a few rolling burnouts and it never got over 144. Very impressed and excellent upgrade.

heading to the track tomorrow providing the weather holds and it's not pouring down rain.




Oh and a small clip from the GoPro on the way home. To much traffic and I was ready to get home so this was the only good part of the drive. Rolling into the throttle and then had to get off cause I caught the car in front of me.
