I bought a cherry bomb vortex muffler about a year or so ago off of amazon of all places, picked it up for $40 and free shipping. I got the 2.25" and it matched right up with the exhaust piping. $30 installed and I was good to go. It does sound really good, especially with the windows down, but...

I have a 1997 Toyota 4Runner SR5 for sale. It's a V6 with 2wd. Been in SoCal all its life with no rust or bad metal. It has 172,xxx miles on it and it's been my dd since I bought it with 120k. It's an auto and everything in it/on it works. All routine maintenance has been performed since I...

psssh, who stops for stop signs now a days? well glad you didnt roll your ride, that woulda been much worse than the fender bender that I'm picturing in my head. hope there isnt too much damage!

A family friend is the supervisor over at Balboa Auto Body 7827 Balboa Avenue San Diego, CA 92111 (858) 277-4000 and they do really quality work. Honestly it is medium-medium/high cost but its truly worth the penny to get it done right there. they're all really good guys. ...and i was...

hmmm, thats interesting. i never thought of that. But since I have a 97 with "not as strict emissions" as the newer ones, and my car is a cali car through and through shouldn't i not be getting the sulfur smell as much as I am? Maybe I just got a bad tank of gas... I've been using Arco gas for a...

I know for the shaking i took my car in and my tech told me that the wheels werent weighted properly so he added some weights to get em squared away and that seemed to help for about a month or so, then it came back...

So for the past 2-3 months i've noticed that if i step on the gas with any kind of real force the smell coming from my exhaust just wreaks. About a week or so ago this is happening seemingly more and more with just casual everyday driving. I've asked a friend who knows a bit more about cars than...

I have a 97 SR5 with the cloth seats and I wanted to switch out the tan cloth seats for the leather seats found in the Limited's but have a couple of questions. Are the leather seats from the Limited power seats or manual adjusters like my SR5? Will this be a straight swap or do I need new...

When i bought my 4runner it had a Sony Xplode headunit that i really liked but it wouldnt play WMA's so I replaced it with a JVC which lasted just 2 weeks after the warranty expired (coincidence? I have no idea. lol) I'm running another Sony Xplode headunit now and I really like it. It has an...

No I dont go there, i go to a community college. (Grossmont and Cuyamaca actually) I was just driving home from visiting a friend out there. And ya I have 4 differential Equation hmw assignments I have to do by tomorrow, i'm doing a really good job of NOT doing them. hahaha

Ya for sure! Makes it sound even better than normal. lol. Only when I was driving home from my ucsd when I had a migrane it wasnt very fun. So i just sped up a little bit so i didnt have to hear it. lol

Wow thats really lame, although i guess they're just looking to make more money. By them saying if you buy OUR product we'll do it for you now but since you bought it somewhere else we'll do it for you if we have time, thats just them frustrated they couldnt make a real SALE, now they can only...

Ya I was surprised by the droning at first cuz no one ever mentioned anything about it, but after about a week of driving it settled down a lot. IDK if its just cuz I was getting used to it or because the muffler was just breaking in but I hardly notice the droning at all now, but like I said...

Sorry I hadnt responded, i havnt been on here in awhile. I cant say though that I've noticed any odd shifting. The only thing I havt noticed is something of a drone at about 1700-1800rpm. To compensate for that I either accelerate easily and my car will shift just under that or else if i...

Gotta say the blitz's look pretty good
