Nope lol, I'm a contractor for Asset Accounting, and Asset Accounting's DRMO representative/lead.

Hopefully there is a good inspector, and hopefully he's in Victorville this friday. I just hooked up the stock cat-back and scheduled an appointment for friday morning.

By putting the cat-back back on, I lost quite a bit of power through the entire range, but the most up top... It's getting chopped as soon as I'm legal.

Star DAS listed 2 monitors not ready, EGR and Cat, so I ran out to an abandon road, let it cool and ran the drive cycle. After which my lights dimmed, I heard clicking, and now something is chirping when I shift. Sounds like a small BOV. DAS check tonight will show if she's ready. So far no CEL.

I touched up the harness a little, swapped an ECU label plate from mine to the newest 5.0L ECU I had that came in the SL lol, 2006. Not sure if they can pull the internal P/N, doubt it, but if they can, I'll have some explaining to do lol.

Calls to ref's confirm that they really have no way to look up the year of the block on these so I'm good there and I will default to 2004.

Couple possible fails if he wants to be picky.... I have no fan shroud on my mechanical fan.... Exhaust manifolds are custom, but made from stock MB manifolds.... 02 sensors are ran in the exhaust manifold, not the down pipe to the first set of cats.... V6 intake tubes (not on, until I'm around the corner from the shop lol) but they are OEM technically.... I think that's it actually. I'm allowed one monitor not ready.
