Oh and my wideband gauge is dead. Fuse is good. Haven't checked it past that, but if the sensor is dead or the wiring is burned, I'll just pull that out too.

Kooks green catted y-pipe* with factory exhaust.
Battery back under the hood.
Hitch re-installed.
Spare back underneath.
Factory size tires back on.

The tires and y-pipe/exhaust will let me go back to a stock tune without problems. Hitch so I can tow a trailer. Went to the RV show in Fort Worth this past weekend and have my eye on a couple of 17'-20' models.

I still plan on bracket racing this season.


*OMG. Ordered from Maryland Speed over a month ago. Are these people scammers? They said it has to be built and shipped from Kooks but I verified that several vendors (including Kooks themselves) have this in stock. Hell, AutoAnything.com beats their price by $70 and shows to ship tomorrow. What a PITA.
Took 45 days to get mine. There not scammers , Kooks is backed up as usual and anything auto would have to order thru Kooks also.

Well it's fucked that they charged me back on 12/6. They got to bank the sale on last year's books. But the local business that will do the install is still waiting.

No indication on their website or when you order this is the circumstance. They're drop shippers and the worst kind.

I'll never order from them again.

I contacted them over the weekend and raised hell. I got it today.

This weekend, I'm going to go back thru all my commo with them and try to read between the lines on what their business model is. They did this **** to me with my headers too.

Yeah, yeah. Fool my twice...

Wow, factory cat back is so quiet I can't tell if the truck is running at idle. Kinda funny.

Stock tune throws a P0420 code. Yep, the extra coin for the Kook's green cat y-pipe was money well spent [/sarcasm]
