What brand is your new 18" muffler?

What brand is your new 18" muffler?

Magnaflow. Some people are against them but I've never had a problem.

 

[Yoter]

Nice, yeah thats exactly what I wanted to hear!
Its good to see that at least some people are not having a terrible experience with magnaflow mufflers. I plan on getting the 18" as well, hopefully yours will not suffer the melting problems that others have.
The new tail lights really make your truck look alot more classy definetly a good investment.

Yea, my previous 14" sounded fine and had no problems up until I sunk it in water. I guess the insulation soaked up the water and hardened not allowing correct air passage. Hopefully the 18" lasts. If not though my buddy owns a muffler/tuner shop and will hook me up with a new muffler no problem. Thanks for the compliments and good luck on your future exhaust purchase!

My TL has two magnaflows and I think they sound great. No issues whatsoever, and I'm not planning on doing any water crossings in the acura

Thanks to [MENTION=37079]GottaBeTRD[/MENTION] who recommended this material I picked up some polymat to cover my cargo boxes. I decided to get 80 sq/ft of this stuff haha and it even came with two cans of adhesive spray. 2 cans 777 Glue + 20ft *4ft Wide Polymat Black Speaker Box Carpet Dj Speaker Cabinet Enclosure Carpet Truck Car Trunk Liner, Dash Cover, Interior Headliner Carpet:Amazon:Electronics

Hopefully will tackle the project this weekend and get my cargo boxes back in. It feels weird not having my tools with me daily and no subs too.

 

[GottaBeTRD]

looking forward to seeing the final work man!

Was a busy weekend for me! I finally finished up wrapping my cargo boxes. Man, what a pain in the ass that was. But, for a first timer I think it went ok. There's a few spots I messed up on but in all I think they turned out pretty well. I'd suggest that carpet to anyone. It's so easy to cut and folds/forms really well. I really enjoyed using it. I also carpeted the floors on the insides with a more industrial thick carpeting that I already had. Was a last minute decision and I didn't get any pictures of it.

I also did the timing belt replacement job. My 2 buddies who are techs up at the Toyota dealership had a free Saturday and we arranged to change out everything. Gotta love the indoor a/c shop and all the special tools they have. Only took a couple hours Everything looked alright but it was definitely time to change the water pump as it was leaking a little.

Scary sight.. Thank god they knew what they were doing!

Looks good man. Those cargo boxes look great.

I know the feeling with the timing belt and water pump. It us a little scary the first time you pull an engine apart hoping you remember how it all went back together.

Keep a look out for me guys, please!!

I need to send my coilovers in for a rebuild and have to have my truck since it's my dd. So, I'm looking for a 3" lift setup for the front of my 3rd gen. HAS to be a guaranteed 3" since I run 35's. Preferably cheap cheap cheap and already assembled. Don't care if it's a spacer setup or whatever. Just need something soon to get me by for a week. Any leads, please let me know. Thanks!

 

[downpour11]

I'd sell you mine but I'm thinking it's not as cheap as you want it to be lol I'll keep a lookout.

 

[JWaldz]

I'm hoping I don't have to spend more than a 100 bucks.

[MENTION=23427]llennium[/MENTION] sure have, thanks!

 

[Dirtyfingers]

Hey got any updates?

 

[JWaldz]

Nothing major.. I'm currently putting in a DPDT switch to be able to run my led bar with my bright light circuit as well as independently. Up on position will run the light when only the brights are one and lower on position will turn it on independently.

Other than that I have no updates. I've got an annoying vibration up front while doing around 40-55. Need to figure that out. I've got some bb's already measured and bagged ready to be put in each tire. If the vibration continues then it's time to check out the steering rack. I've got a spare sitting in my garage ready to go. Just have to find the determination to do the job lol. Lately I've been wanting to get some UCA's. Especially since my ubj's are getting more and more worn. My bday is coming up in a couple months. Might get some as a gift to myself

 

[crazydubman]

I think that Upper control arms are well deserved. Any thoughts on which ones you would consider?

I have never had any problems with my Camburgs, and they were the cheapest of the uniball ones that I was able to find through Wheelers.

 

[Illestreker]

camburgs with the uniballs are nice, but which has more travel the camburgs or light racing UCAs ?

 

[crazydubman]

Any Uniball setup will have more travel than the factory ball joints. If the arm has a 1" uniball there should be no difference in the amount of angle that can be utilized.

If you want to take advantage of extended travel coilovers, you will need the uniball arms.
