- Hey, what's going on, guys.
Lawson with Custom Offsets.
Today's video we got something a little different,
a little exciting for you guys.
And as you see, my truck is out of storage,
it's right behind me and we're going to be installing
all these parts.
We got our new performance guy, Nick here,
and he's going to take us through all these parts
that we have.
So, we have the exhaust, the tuner and a intake.
Why don't we unbox these things
and then you give us a little rundown
of what it's all going to do for my truck.
- Yeah, definitely.
- All right.
So, first up, what do we got?
- We got the Bully Dog BDX tuner,
which, you're going to get your performance gains,
your torque gains, your throttle response.
It's also a diagnostics tool.
It's going to show custom gauges.
You can monitor what's going on with the vehicle.
You'll be able to sort up to 10 custom tunes on this
all through wifi.
You can, do data logging
to get those custom tunes built for you.
So yeah, let's open it up and see what we got.
- Awesome, let's see this thing.
- Instructions, warranty information,
how to book, it's packed very nicely with the foam.
- Look at that thing.
- This actually looks really well built.
It looks nice.
And we'll just have the OBD2 port tool.
So, we the plug it into the truck.
- So that plugs down by your-
- Yeah, yeah, so this'll plug in down below
in your OBD2 port.
So you can plug and play
and
change out the tune on your computer.
- Nice.
As you guys know, we did launch performance.
So, if you guys want to look at these tuners,
intake and exhaust, obviously after this video,
you guys can definitely do so,
we'll leave a link down in the description.
Then you can find what tuners, exhausts, intake
are for your truck, so.
- Why don't we open up this intake.
- Yeah.
- All right, so what's this going to do for everyone?
- So, this is the K&N intake.
We're going to get about-
And dyno tune numbers
are about 10 horsepower gains, 10 torque gains.
And that is dyno proven at peak RPMs.
- Gains baby.
(packages rattle)
Gains.
So, what you're saying,
is my truck's going to fast as shit
after this video.
- Throttle response is definitely going to go up more.
- Nice filter here.
- Nicely built polymer construction.
Heat resistant to prevent that heat soak
in the engine bay.
And your heat shielding and block off plate
to keep from sucking in that hot engine bay heat.
Cotton gauze filter, standard for K&N,
comes with a million mile warranty.
And pretty much have to clean these
every hundred thousand miles, is what K&N claims.
It's an oiled filter.
Literally wash it with detergent soap,
and then spray a little K&N oil filter oil
back onto the filter.
And it's good to go again,
no more having to purchase another filter
again in your life.
So.
- That's crazy. Million mile warranty.
See if we can get my truck to a million miles.
(Nick laughs)
I want to test it out.
- Yeah.
All right. Well, what do we got?
Last but not least.
- Yeah.
- The biggest package of them all.
Well, there goes my K&N filter there boys.
It's broke.
(beep)
All right, let's unbox this thing.
Dang.
All right, so tell us a little bit about this exhaust.
How many gains am I going to get?
Or if anyone, with a, obviously a Chevy
who's looking to get a Borla,
why would they choose Borla over the other competitors?
- Yeah, so this is built
from performance 304 stainless steel.
So it's not going to rust on you.
It's going to hold up to the life of the truck.
This particular exhaust is 2 and 3/4s
to a 2 and a 1/2 duel.
And then a four inch tip
for the back of Lawson's truck here.
This is going to fit '09 to '13 Chevy GMC
the four eights, five threes and six ohs.
Given that it's Borla,
it's going to give it a nice low rumble,
not be extremely loud going down the road.
But do a nice exhaust note.
Open up that exhaust, a little bit more free flow.
Get that performance with the tuner in the intake
then to put everything together.
- Yeah, well do some before and after sounds for you guys
so you guys can really get an idea of, you know,
decibel readings and everything else.
As far as the sound goes, when you guys are shopping
for these performance parts at customoffsets.com.
Well, let's get these parts installed, Nick.
And I'll check back in with you.
- Sweet. Sounds good.
All right.
So we've already disconnected the battery
on the truck, the negative side.
And I do recommend taking out the battery,
it's not a safety thing.
It'll reset your computer actually.
So, when you do put an intake on,
it'll reset your computer
so your computer can relearn the new air flow
that's going to be happening.
So, we're going to start by taking everything out of here,
unpop this cover,
take everything out
and get that new K&N intake system installed.
(upbeat music)
All right.
So now we got the filter that's going to go on the backside
of the cone here.
And then we just have to install the map sensor
and then just a couple grommets and seals.
(upbeat music)
All right, guys.
So, we're going to get set up with Lawson
on the truck here with the Bully Dog tuner.
The BDX programmer is what we're going with.
We're going to install it to the OBD2 port
and we're going to have to go through and update,
it is mandatory.
We're going to connect it to the wifi,
get the update on there,
and then we're going to show you guys
how to do the install on this.
Okay.
So, right now, what the programmer is doing,
we're downloading the stock ECU onto it
and then it will reload and we can choose what file,
what preloaded file on the programmer we want.
We have fuel economy, towing.
You can choose 87 gas, 91 octane.
There's a couple different preloaded tunes
on there that we can choose from.
Once I talk with Lawson,
we'll kind of decide what route we're going to doing.
But as of right now, we're just downloading the stock ECU.
Once that's loaded, we'll get the new tune loaded up.
(gentle music)
All right.
So, I spoke with Lawson
and this is what we're going to go with.
He's going to keep it on the 87 octane tune.
If you wanted, you could change it to 91 octane,
93 octane and get a few more ponies out of it.
Just go back.
We did change it since we did install the cold air intake.
We added the cold air intake,
so it will adjust for the added air
coming into the engine.
(tuner beeps)
If we wanted to change idle, we could.
Idle is more for like, if you wanted to run,
like a winch on one of these, you could up your idle speed
so you're keeping constant power to the battery.
(tuner beeps)
And then we ended up changing the-
We turned DoD off.
So on these five threes,
the V8 will shut down to a four cylinder mode
just to save on gas.
We opted out of that.
If you wanted to up the fan temperatures
you can up the fan temperatures.
We're going to keep those at stock
since we're not doing anything super crazy with this truck.
And then we just changed the tire size.
So, Lawson runs a 37 inch tire,
technically they're a little bit smaller than 37's.
So, we opted for the 36.3 option
which will make his speed proper.
And then we are done.
Now it is going to load the tune
onto the truck and he'll be good to go.
(upbeat music)
All right.
And that wraps up the Bully Dog tuner.
And next we're going to get going on the exhaust.
All right guys.
So, today we are going to be installing Lawson's
Borla exhaust on his Chevy 1500
with the five three.
The kit does come with everything that we will need.
There is a band clamp that is used,
existing from the factory on the back half here.
We are not going to try and reuse this clamp.
We did order a new one from our local hardware store
to make things a lot easier.
We were just going to cut this one off.
There are a couple hangers
along the backside that we have pre lubed
that we will be removing as well.
Just put a little penetrating oil in there
just to make that rubber come off the hanger a lot easier.
And then we're going to get this thing all installed
and we'll be ready to go.
(gentle music)
(engine revs)
(engine revs more quietly)
- And that's a wrap.
Hope you guys enjoyed the video.
As much as Lawson is going to enjoy
these new performance parts he needed
after the large and wheel and tire setup.
