Well you can see the history of DeLone here: http://carfanaticsforum.com/thread-7133.html

Well the new cat-back is in and I wrote this on MT (yay Copy and Paste :2thumbsup: ):

Alright so I have a confession to make, when I was putting in the cat-back in on Monday, I only got half of it done. I got the new muffler on and that's it. It was a serious PITA!!!!!! And the worst part is, the exhaust exited right under the cab and there was SERIOUS DRONE. My dad thought it sounded cool, I just nodded my head and "agreed". It sounded like a fart cannon, and on a truck that's embarrassing at school. So I had to live with that for two whole days. So I realized I didn't have any homework tonight (all elective classes WOOT WOOT) and immediately popped under DeLone. I started to get under there play around with the various extenders and adapters I had to buy (I'll tell you more about this later). I got everything fitted up and everything when I realized something bad. Really bad. The new pipe and the shock were rubbing. So in came the fun part, SLEDGEHAMMER!!! A few good whacks of rage later I had a nice indentation exactly were the shock was rubbing (the pipe is 3/4" bigger than stock, it needed less flow anyways) and viola! So once again I fit everything up and bounce the truck a little. *Scratch scratch scratch* the rear part of the leaf spring was rubbing. BANG BANG BANG!!! Not anymore! SO THEN I GET EVERYTHING IN PLACE...AGAIN. It all clears, but it's too low. So I just skipped putting the tail pipe on, tightened everything up, used some liquidy-solid (like peanut butter) muffler paste thing just in case of any gaps, and called it a day.

The end result, NO DRONE! It sounds FANTASTIC! It doesn't sound too ricey, but it still has some growl to it. Really, under hard acceleration, it sounds like a very small V6. And accelerating normally off the line from a stop light is GREATLY improved. Ever since the big(ger) tires were put on I needed A LOT of clutch time to get thing moving, not anymore. Now I can pass a little traffic instead of struggling to keep up, and sound good doing it too.

Vid coming over the weekend maybe?

Nice. Nothing like a bit of man handling to get it work right.

No tool set is complete without a sledgehammer. :2thumbsup::2thumbsup::2thumbsup::2thumbsup::robot::biggrin:

Their is nothing you can't fix with a sledgehammer and duct tape.

[REVolution]

Sledgehammer, and Vice Grips. The two must haves in any tool box. Also an extend-able magnet thing.

And this thing...



The Titan extendable ratchet.

Best damn ratchet ever. I just

can't

break it. :2thumbsup:

[REVolution]

I need to get one.

Kumar, if that is your real name, it is so damn worth it. It is my absolute favorite tool I've ever bought. I've gone harder on this than what it took to break a Craftsman (yeah, I broke a Craftsman ) and it handled it like a CHAMP. :2thumbsup:

Really, whatever socket you'll use will break before this thing.
