yeah they make good stuff. And it's not crazy expensive either. My exhaust is AFE. Fit perfect, sounds good. I love it. I'm gonna do the blade runner this month, and hopefully the new hot tubes next month. Then I'll be eyeballing an intercooler. She should be whistling for sure when everything gets done!

Tubes for the turbos being downpipes? I'm looking forward to hearing them.
not down pipes. It's the charge pipe that goes from the intercooler to the throttle body. Everybody seems to really like them. I can't wait to try it

Back when I had my Acura, it was so hard to find anything after market for that thing. I was banking on some AFE products to come out for it but unfortunately they didnt. Looking forward to hearing the turbo whistle that your truck starts to make.

I have the crossover pulled off of my truck right now too. Honestly it was cool for a little while, but is starting to annoy me now. It takes all of 2 seconds to pull off and put back on. I'd say yank it off and see if you like it, if you're like me you will for a week or so.

You take the pipe off and you have to put a cap on the intake tube so you don't sick **** in the intake. You can leave the blow off valve alone. At least I did on mine. Some guys put filters on there's idk why lol
