Proper Flow for Your FJ Cruiser
You finally got your FJ home, now it's time to swap out that quiet stock exhaust system with something that will help you gain a few extra horsepower and an aggressive sound. The new Dynomax Toyota FJ Cruiser Ultra Flo welded exhaust system features the legendary Dynomax Ultra Flo welded muffler and all-mandrel-bent, 2.5-inch 409 stainless steel piping. It has been engineered to deliver unrestricted exhaust flow and a throaty, unique tone. This impressive package includes a polished stainless steel tip etched with the Dynomax logo that exits at the stock location. Piping mirrors routing of the OE system. The system also includes all of the necessary hardware required for the install.
New-Wave Induction
The BadMan, a new series of inline induction systems from Triple-D Induction, is now available for small-block Chevy engines. With interchangeable venturi sleeves, airflow ratings are available from 500 to over 1,000 cfm. The unique, all-new Inline Demon four-barrel carburetor combined with a Triple-D Aero-ram intake manifold provides even and superior fuel distribution. The BadMan system allows larger camshafts to operate at low engine speeds with low vacuum and improved low-speed idle, part-throttle driveability, and efficient fuel consumption. The BadMan has no gaskets to leak under float level and has only three adjustments: two idle-mixture screws and one idle-speed screw. Designed with simple carburetor tuning and maintenance in mind, the BadMan is available in two finishes: "as cast" or silver powdercoat (as shown). Models for big-block Chevy and LS1 motors are already under development.

The company tells us that an Atlas four-speed kit is coming soon.
Stop Mildew Forever

Now you can fight those moisture gremlins during periods of storage or summer humidity with Dry-Store. It's considerably more effective than silica gel and comes packaged for cars in big, 6x9-inch, 1-pound bags. A few bags can provide a year's worth of protection for a fullsize truck or car interior.Dry-Store is nontoxic, noncorrosive, odorless, and will not stain upholstery. Toss them on the seats, throw one in the trunk, and protect engine parts from corrosion by placing a bag on the manifold. Dry-Store retails for only $8.95 per bag. A case of 12 gets you a 20-percent discount (each 1-pound bag comes wrapped in plastic and stores indefinitely).
