Finally getting around to that last little... something.
Had my ‘15 TEP three years and just 38k miles. Did wheels/tires/leveling kit on day one. TRD Pro trim the next week. And that was about it for mods. Always hated the garbage HVAC. Always tolerated the gutless drivetrain. Lots of fun adventures in it regardless.
Had the Nightshade two months today. Did wheels & tires, suspension, skids, head unit, lighting, 3rd row delete, and some small cosmetic stuff over that time. Loving the proper climate control. Still tolerating the gutless drivetrain.
Until now...

I see a cat back. Any headers or mid pipe?

Yeah, I also got a URD y-pipe and had it inconel wrapped á la TheWraith. But they didn’t put it in a fancy fancy box, so I left it out of the pic, lol
And you your earlier question, I’m not installing it myself. It’s not a difficult job by any means, but a 30k warranty on a boosted motor is no joke. It’s being done at Powerhouse Performance. The owner used to work at Magnuson and they do a lot of these installs

I took a nightshade for a test drive recently while I was at the service dept.
I was underwhelmed because it drove exactly like my 4 year old trail edition.
I liked the creature comforts in the limited. I really like the improvements you’ve done. And now you’re turning it up to 11!

Thanks! I've had four years to plan my upgrades, lol. I was looking at another Trail or a Pro, but was interested in the Limited for the better climate control and leather. They offered me such a good deal I couldn't pass it up.

Hah, I actually meant the forum member TheWraith, but yeah.
It's a great terrible 80s movie regardless. Think I’m gonna have to watch it on Hulu now...

I think your mid-pipe is sexy. Does he do the the wrap professionally or just on the budy system. Think i just found my next mod.
