    FS: SCT X4 w/SVC "the tune" for Gen1

    I'm not sure how to tell. I bought it off of Haynes Off-Road back when they were still a vendor. I don't have any mods on the truck so I think it's just the basic one they do. I did ask them to tune it for mid-grade fuel if that means anything to you. The truck drives way better with the tune on...

    What did you end up doing? I am reporting to Stuttgart this summer and have the same dilemma. I have a 2014 SCREW paid off with 56k miles on it. We're already shipping my Wife's Q7, so I would have to pay to ship the Raptor if I wanted to have it there. I think the only way it makes sense to...

    Raptors and Craft Beer

    It really depends on how fancy you want to get, I started out doing extract brewing in 2012 with about $250 in equipment. The beer wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. Since then I have transitioned to single vessel all-grain also known as "Brew in a Bag". In total I have probably around...

    I think the next beer I brew will be a Mexican Lager to enjoy during these unforgivably hot humid summers we enjoy here in NC.

    Raptors and Craft Beer

    It depends on the weather to be honest. During the summer I drink mostly Gose's, Blonde's, and IPA's. During the colder months its stouts' porters, and Belgian Quads. I prefer to buy from local breweries if I can help it.

    I have not had either, but they both sound delicious. The popular local brewery around here is Southern Pines Brewing. I can also get pretty much any beer from raleigh/durham. The big one in asheville that we have here is Wicked Weed, all there beer is top notch, but hey are super proud...

    Hah! If I was a smart man I would have bought more than the 4 pack I did while I was in Myrtle Beach over Christmas. My wife loved it, thus it was gone quickly. I am trying to find a clone recipe to homebrew.

    I totally forgot all about this thread. We need to start a beer trading program through here since we have craft beer lovers from all across the country. I still have the truck, but unfortunately haven't had the budget to do any mods to it.

    Installed a Black Widow Muffler

    I'm thinking of running a similar set-up with a resonator delete. I want to keep the stock exit as this is the "family car" right now and six hours of exhaust note driving to grandma's might drive me crazy. How do you like the set-up? Did you do a resonator delete as well? Anything else...

    Switching out exhuast...MRPB, Black Widow or Dirty Deeds

    Thanks for the quick reply. Is there a particular reason (sound/performance/aesthetics) for doing the dump vs. keeping the stock exit?

    Switching out exhuast...MRPB, Black Widow or Dirty Deeds

    I would like to do this to my truck as well, do you need to have the ability to bend tube for this set-up? I'm trying to save cost on labor by having a buddy weld this up, but if we have to bend tube I'm going to need to find a shop. Appreciate any how-to's you can provide.

    No, I haven't yet. Have you played around with the global spark setting to see if it goes away? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    I didn't start the thread to "exclude" anyone. I just wanted to share my enthusiasm for craft beer with other like minded Raptor owners. Sorry if you were offended. Now where did I park my eurocar? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

    The Tune by SVC

    svc have you guys been able to do any tuning with the SB CAI? I have had one on the truck for about 1,000 miles now and I don't feel like the engine is taking full advantage of the increase in airflow.

    I used to enjoy Lagunitas, until they pulled this: Critical Drinking It's just bad beer karma. These guys are forgetting where they came from. Craft beer, and their respective breweries foundation is all about community. I'm not saying you shouldn't stand up for yourself when you feel...

    No, wasn't me brother. I just got back in town early Wednesday morning. I live off of ramsey, so if you see a stock looking silver screw in that area it's probably me.

    I'm at Bragg. I've tried Duck Rabbit, huske hardware, big boss, blowing rock, carolina brewery, triangle, and aviator. I'm going to be at southern pines brewing on may 2nd for their homebrewers day.

    Sorry haven't visited this thread in a while. Been in NC about three weeks and have enjoyed some really great local beers. Should be brewing a batch of homebrew tomorrow and will try to get some pics while doing so.
