hehe I've watched the same videos over and over again. I talked to Todd about debating over plugging the silencer holes. With the towing it sees now, that whine may be a bit excessive. My buddy and I were hauling a dump trailer full of roofing tearoff to the city dump and he said, "imagine people's face next time we do this with your supercharger screaming and the OD off. It'll definitely be turning heads." Edit: my more deeper-pocketed acquaintances always see me hauling or towing and ask why I don't have a diesel. My response: " why DO you?"

Not sure. And very well could be BS. Someone on the Lightning Club FB page. Probably the executive editor for TMZ too. Seems like even if the M112 held up there'd be too much belt slippage to make too much boost.

Really, I found one too, but it's at Cervinis if I want it. LAST ONE made as I understand it. They want 675 for it tho.

So which hood are you referring too ferg? If it's the Ram Air, no problem!

Yeah, just not the return.
Stuff is easy to put together minus cutting it. The steel braids are a pain.

Metal cut off wheel on a 4 1/2 or 6" grinder works great. Tape it at the cut and blow it out with compressed air to remove any contaminants.
