My 2008 RCSB

Love it!

 

Install time

 

That truck is going to be nasty

 

Hopefully.

Waiting in the valve body from IPT currently.

 

Let me know how you like it. I have been eye balling VB uupgrades lately as I felt what could be tranny slipping. More bite and quicker shifts is appealing.

 

I had a supercharged Tacoma back in the day and always needed to do the VB but never did. This time I figured I'd do it outta the gate.

 

Getting there....

 

Cats now removed and replaced with resonators and headers go on this coming week along with Solid Off Road motor mounts.

 

Curious about your take on the mounts. Suppose to help put a little more down to the ground.

 

Dude that does a ton of Supercharged Tundras swore by them and apparently you're halfway there when installing the headers so I grabbed them to have the shop do them at the same time.

Oh, I've also got some Coachbuilder shackles on the way.

 

Motor mounts just came in;

 

Headers and motor mounts going in today.

 

Share install prices and location for others who might want the same work done?

 

Gonzalez Motorsport in Palmetto, FL does all my work

Not sure what the install on the headers is going to be but he's always reasonable. My supercharger, fuel system, etc install was $1500.

 

Got my Shackles installed today as well as got the truck back from the header install.

 

What's the advantage of those shackles over stock units ?

 

Beefy as fuck. Way more solid. Not sure if I'll notice a difference on this truck but I definitely did in my lifted 2013.

 

Motor mounts and headers

 

Cold start with the new setup. Little louder than I'd like but I'll probably just get used to it. That or I'll hit up Keith, at DD, and see about swapping my 8" for a 10"

Here's mine with the 10" and resonator. Stock manifolds. Cold start. Yours sounds like there may be just a little more rasp, but that could also just be engine sound from being inside the garage.

The headers had far more effect on sound than anything else. Even with stock manifolds and no cats it was quieter than it is with headers, resonators and 8" DD.

 

Headers add allot of rasp. I went through 3 different exhaust variations before settling on one that didn't make my ears bleed under WOT.

I have 3in from headers to rear exit. Starts at headers -> X pipe -> Borla XR1's -> Hemlz 18in Resonators-> dual 3in tailpipes -> Vibrant UQ resonators-> 3in tips

That setup gave me the quietest sound at cruising while still being rowdy at WOT and most importantly no drone/rasp.

 

You have resonators after the tailpipes?

 

Yep like the late model Dodge Rams. They are suppose to muffle the sound better I read. Having them originally positioned prior to tail pipes made a difference.

You can see them peaking some in this shot.

 

Got an RCF throttle body going on today as well as some shorter CB shackles. The +3" ones raised the rear a tad and it was bugging me. So I'm swapping out to the +2".

 

Alright just got the +3's swapped out with the +2's. The difference is subtle but it's there. The rear now only sits about 1/4" higher than the front.

Before:




After:

 

And got the freshy fresh brand new from Lexus throttle body in there;

 

This truck is amazing. I love the color.

 

Not much change lately. Did all lightweight pulleys in the truck as well as a lightweight Crank Damper. Oh, smaller pulley on the supercharger as well. Otherwise, not much new I don't think. Just picked this up so hoping to get this in soon;
