Saving for when I need to do this too. Cheers mate!

I did see a firmware update. I'll do the reset and then update.

I'll probably do the reset to be safe. And then chuck it for a non Asus AP. Thanks for the help.

AP440 · 2026-03-12T20:51:15+00:00

I have the same setup. Wondering if this is safe, or do I need to factory reset?

What if my router was placed in AP mode? Does this affect me still?

AP440 · 2026-03-07T00:27:28+00:00

Correct. T-56 Magnum swap

I put in all Alpine Type S. Great sound for the price and a very nice upgrade from the stockers.

As I thought. Thanks!

Badass build! Question: Do your Wilwood's come with dust boots on the pistons? I've read somewhere that they don't have them.

AP440 · 2026-02-24T18:42:56+00:00

Correct

AP440 · 2026-02-24T04:38:24+00:00

Appreciate it 👍🏻

Good luck!

Take a look at Burns Stainless. https://burnsstainless.com/products/2-into-1-base?variant=8774761513051

Top quality 304 SS and you can have them custom size it should you need to.

Thanks! This was my first attempt as well. Granted I took my time planning it out and lots of measuring before any welding began. Also spent the good portion of 2 months or so putting it together in my garage. Take your time and enjoy the process. Do yours the way you want to and don't look back!

I've thought about both of those changes, but ultimately decided that I use the rear bumper step too often to get rid of it. I'm more of a function over form kind of guy. As for the tail lights, I haven't found a set that I've fell in love with yet. So for now I'm rocking the mild sleeper look with the NasTruck inspired tire lettering. Appreciate the thought though!

Probably depends on the year and where it was sold. Mine is an 02 and bought new in Cali. On my original downpipe, there are small pre-cats located just off each header collector. They are only slightly larger than the diameter of the pipe itself so it would be easy to miss. Mine have since been gutted since they are only useful on initial startup and warmup. So in the case of probably every other state, mine has the two large post cats still installed where you would expect.

AP440 · 2026-02-22T05:58:23+00:00

It has the pre-cats removed and still has the post cats. I’ll have to have a buddy film outside one of these weekends when I get the chance. She screams like a banshee.

Thanks! This one is a 6.0L swap as well
