That's prettyuch a set of cal tracs not made by caltrac. Lol

I'll makey own since I don't need that level of perfection on a motor that is not probably 400 HP. I have dumped enough cash into this thing as is. Already wasn't happy paying 1900$ for the truck knowing the motor and teams was not staying in.

sounds wickid at idle, but a little raspy for my taste in the higher rpm for me. i'm guessing it's 2 short bullets?

I think it's perfect. What's dumb is that the headers have 3" collectors but the ball flange that comes with it reduces to 2.5.

Probably helps torque. Especially with the smaller engine

Lol. Was that a Mustang. I love fast trucks. Especially when they shock whoever they're running.
