    I ordered the Corsa exhaust last night. The exhausts are very limited for our Tundra's here in the no fun state.Everything is not for sale in CA or Illegal to sale to CA residents.I think I will get some Doug thorley shorty headers later on. At least they have a the stupid CARB# so their legal here.

    You can hear the Corsa on Youtube. A video of mine will sound the same. My truck came with an aftermarket black exhaust tip. I'm going to try that out on the Corsa to see if the sound changes. My new 6" Antenna X came in so I put that on today also.

    Thanks, I'm originally from SoCal. Moved up to NorCal from the San Fernando valley. You can see by my pic's how I bought the truck. It still needs improvement. Next will be 4.88's, a must with 37" tires. I'm thinking of putting in an Auburn at the same time as well. It still has the stock UCA's so those will be upgraded along with some Coil overs. Not sure which one's yet. Headlight retrofit as well as rear tail lights. I can't leave a vehicle stock. Time to put a ton of overtime in to pay for it all.This is my first 4x4 so I'm going to have a lot of fun.

    Sharp looking truck you have there. Nothing to even do for quite awhile and I would say for what you paid for it I would hope not. Congrats on your first new truck too. Very Cool. Welcome to the forum.

    I just made a round trip to San Jose airport and I can confirm 100% that there is NO drone at all with my Corsa exhaust. I'm very happy with that fact.

    And you want to meet up to see my retros ... lol. Next to you I'm gonna look like a low rider. And that interior of yours is badass ...

    We should try and coordinate something to meet up with Joon at the same time. I think meeting up with you guys might hurt my pocketbook though ...

    That sounds good to me. If the weekend is better for all of us to get together that would be good. I want to check out both of your trucks. My hours Mon-Fri are 3AM till 12PM-2PM. Let's work something out.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry I'm late to the party. Lol. I have a similar lift on my Tundra and I'm running the Icon Aluminum uniball UCA. I'm very happy with them but the $1,200 price tag does hurt the pocketbook. Can you post a short video of the Cora Exhaust?

    Welcome from Ga. I'm surprised they were able to get the truck aligned with the factory UCAs and a 7" lift. Great looking truck

    Surprisingly the alignment is perfect. You can take your hand off the wheel and it just keeps going straight as can be. Whoever did the alignment did an awesome job.
    It's raining cats and dogs here in Norcal. I will try to post up a video of the exhaust later in the week. I have a 3PM appointment at the dealership today. They are fixing the passenger side front bumper end. When I got home after I bought it I noticed that there were scratches and It was bent in. I drove right back and one guy said he knew about it but didn't say anything when I bought it. Did they think I wouldn't notice it. I need to get ready and head down there.

    Just an update. MY truck is all fixed now. They replaced the passenger side chrome piece but they also had to replace the center black section. It should have been done before they had it in the showroom for sale. It's all good. It was a long day yesterday I leave for work at 2AM and I finally got home after 6PM last night. I worked 11+ hrs. today so no time to make a video of the exhaust. Might be the weekend before I can get something together.

    Wow!! That's pretty low that they tried to keep that from you. It's a good thing that you noticed cuz they would have certainly tried to cover that up later and make you pay for that. It was obviously something that happened on delivery or while at the dealership and to think that they would not discuss that up front and just be honest about it and fix it for you before it even left their presence. This is why people call them stealerships. Glad it all got taken care of for you.

    With the 37" tires, this is a must have purchase. My first drive in to work, all my trans wanted to do was wander back and forth from 6th to 5th and back. Can't wait to have them installed.

    Damn, now I want 37's! That looks great, except I only have a 6" lift, I wonder if it would work and how it would look. Whats the width on those wheels, I'm only running 9" wide right now.
