    Cannot wait to install this custom made EV kit on my Tundra! haha:rofl:

    All kidding aside, hoping to install BAM on the truck this week. I've seen videos but any pointers would be appreciated.

    Btw, Keith with @dirtydeeds is great to work with and is driving from Cali to the deep south to help me install on Saturday, WOW!!DirtyDeedsExhaust.jpg

    Seriously nothing to tell, so easy a caveman could do it :)

    When I got mine I just had the new one laying on the ground and looked what needed to be done and went to work. If you live in a wet climate definitely use some juice to break them loose and let it soak. You got this

    Don't forget to replace the gasket between the exhaust and the tailpipe. I can't remember of Keith provided one with the exhaust or not.

    Measure your resonator placement with the spare tire installed.
    Mark, then remove the tire for easier drilling.
    You do not need to remove the entire rear section of tailpipe for the install.


    Additionally consider picking these up to have/keep for future projects.

    This is interesting and first I have heard of not removing pipe to drill for resonator.

    Im trying to decide whether or not to even install the R because I purchased a 10". I know there will be drone if I don't install it, however, I would like to see if I can deal with it or not prior to drilling. Of course, I don't think it hurts to go ahead and install it.

    I think I am going to have some issues with bolts because I have a 2014 and expect them to be pretty brittle.

    Problem I am having now is finding time to install it. haha.

    You just wait
    I had the 8" and ended up deciding the resonator wasn't necessary, I'd try it out first.

    this is proof that everyone is different. I have a 12” with the resonator installed and I am thrilled with the resulting sound.
