I will see what I can do. its kinda hard to drive a 5 speed properly down the road, and hold a video camera. I might borrow a go pro camera from a friend.

Pretty sure a Thrush welded IS just a flowmaster 40. Their patient ran out so anyone can make them. Anyway, sounds good!

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I didn't know that the thrush welded muffler was the same as the flowmaster. good info!! The truck is definitely louder and faster. Now I wish all this snow would go away so I could really get into it to see what it will do.

I'm currently doing my exhaust. I went with a magnaflow XL3 for my muffler. Thanks for the inspiration LOL

here is a slow drive by video. I really couldn't get on the motor much because the roads were icy and full of traffic. The video is bad because I stuck my phone in the front pocket of my overalls trying to record. It worked, sorta. And I stress the sorta part. I will try to make a better video sometime soon.

I need to get a better video. It has been a week since I have got the truck finished and I love it more every day. I love getting the looks I get when rev it up.

So the Northern half of Indiana is shut down again due to drifting snow and cold winds etc etc. so after clearing the driveway and the fun presents the county plows left in my yard. I decided to play in the snow a bit. Not long since it was - 18 with the wind chill.

Ohhh noes, all us Canadians can see your vagina.

Are your lakes frozen enough to drive on? Frozen lakes are awesome for doing doughnuts.

I Know I know. Next time I will put on my big boy pants and lose the skirt. In fairness, I did spend 2 hours in the cold shoveling the drive BEFORE I took those pictures
