    The muffler is awesome so far. I was able to get it installed on Sunday when I bought it with only a couple of hiccups. Had to grind the nuts off the stock pipes flanges and one of my replacement bolts snapped while we were putting it on. currently only have 3 bolts in the flanges but I bought grade 8 hardware to replace the quick fix bolts. Other than that it sounds great with my S&B CAI and its a lot more fun to drive in manual shift mode

    Yeah, I bought a Budget system a while back for my 2011, had to grind off the bolts, but it was worth it...EVERYPLACE I go I get comments that ppl love it....

    I have another one coming from the GB on here for my 2016... Tempted to get into a 6 or 8 " system, but just cant justify dumping that into an exhaust... as it is I'm living on the Value Menu at McDonald's...lol

    Get off 291 and take 57 into Southwick. Might add some miles, but you are moving (usually). Better than sitting at exit 3 for 1\2 an hour. I used to do that when I lived in Russell.

    So since this thread seems to be picking up momentum I think we should have a meetup at some point either this month or early next month. I'd say central mass is a good place to meet up but I'm not familiar with anything east of 91 and it would be hard for me to pick a spot. If everyone wants to throw out a potential meetup spot that'd be awesome. All I got is places like Shelburne falls and North Adams.

    Presently in the throes of truck shopping, and the battle stories are something else. But I am looking at 2nd generations, and will be deciding between two in the next week....:yes:

    Good luck with the buy.

    If it falls through there is a 12 Rock Warrior DC at DJ’s in Hampden with under 80k.

    Rock warriors are the best starting point for a 2nd gen offroad build IMO. The only downside is the front bumper being all plastic, as seen in the pic below my bumper is a little torn up. IMG_20190120_163430.jpg
