Instant acceleration, multiple installation features

Please note that this is for installation in my 2013 Tacoma and there are almost always slight differences between years of production, in some cases even between series for the same model, so a Size fits best because it certainly has quirks here and there. First off, the increase I noticed on the test drive was undeniable - like day and night in power and acceleration over the factory. The actual test will be in about a month when I drive 700 miles and come back. I don't like moving the secondary air pump as it restricts access to the power steering reservoir and sits just behind the passenger side headlight, essentially on mounts that act like stakes, but I really don't see any place to put it other than where they go have designed it. Also not all fasteners could be used, especially the supplied L-Bracket which is supposed to attach the side panel of the box to the fender, as at least on my truck said bolt hole is only partially drilled and there is no way to get the bolt into such a shallow hole to get. Something I plan to do at a later date to further improve the looks and functionality is to replace the included stainless hardware with black automotive hardware to match the hardware and the rest of the engine bay, and then the bushings and mufflers to be installed elsewhere. improve protection. Buyers take into account relatively small differences and plan ahead, but overall a relatively easy setup with the gain and hardware I want. Behind me, it occurs to me that potential customers should be aware of something. When moving the secondary air pump, the instructions expect the factory hose to be used, being careful not to "twist or pinch" the hose. However, it is clear that the factory tubing will not kink in the new configuration simply because of the placement and routing required, so it is recommended that the tubing be replaced with a tubing that fits the new angle so that efficiency is not reduced by airway narrowing . .
