I'm gonna start selling exhaust kits. It comes with a drill bit and instructions on where to drill holes into your stock exhaust.

louder = faster

Yes it does work. It converts a TL-P to a TL-S. And if you already have a TL-S it converts it to an RL. Heres a story that took place not that long ago................. A friend of mine shows me his S-10 truck that actually looked pretty good slammed on 20's. He told me that he installed a chip that converts his motor from a 4-cylinder to a 6-cylinder...........THE END.

You got lucky that he takes returns...that is if you get your money back. Most scams wont accept a return bc they know people have figured them out by that time. next time do some research before diving right in lol. And if it sounds to good to be true...it probably is.
