SEMA Preview

Ive been real busy these past few weeks getting ready for the SEMA show in Philadelphia...I was fortunate enough to have my application accepted and i wanted to share some of the work thats been done in preperation...my truck is currently in my garage at home sittin on the stock 32s so it would fit, where ive been detailing the hell out of it, finishing up some other stuff which ill post up after the show (i dont really have any pics of anything ive been doin bc ive just been goin back n forth from school, using every second i have)...my friend Joe from Central Jersey Customs did this custom dual shock mount for me in the rear, although i will say this one picture does not do it justice...the mount was made from 3" and 2" tubing, sandblasted, smootheed and painted the color of the truck with clearcoat, and the shocks are chrome 2.2" adjustables from AirBagit.com...ride is a little rougher but not terrible...also if you look carefully he did my exhaust, dual in/out magnaflow with internal and external x-pipe, and hidden outlet tucked behind the rear bumper where the spare tire was...just thought you all might like to see!

Looks amazing...you plan on turning your truck into a trailer queen now? Or once the show is done are you going to cover it in mud? heh

Wow, it looks pretty damn good.

I have one question though, how loud is your exhaust?

Kick ***: There are abunch of different classes, mostly ricers and such...there is a truck class 1,2 ,3rd places...only cash prizes for best of show....my friend who did the exhaust took first place at the show last year in the truck category and from what he told me the guys who im competing against are all 2x my age, have their own shops, have over 100-150K into their trucks etc....so in reality although it would be nice, i dont think i have a shot at winning anything, but it is really an honor just to be participating

Thumper:
the exhaust is actually a little bit quieter than my old flowmaster 40 series..but 1) the muffler is not broken in,
2) it is a much deeper tone which i like a lot...and (and most important) 3) the differenc in throttle response is absolutely incredible!
