Nice truck! How loud is the standard exhaust with no muffler? Will it pass a WOF? Considering removing mine. Cheers

Is it really loud though like for example can you talk to a passenger and does it drive you nuts on the highway?
That pic of you getting some oversteer is so awesome haha

Sweet truck bud!
What offset are the rims that you run with the Silverstones? im looking at buying some 15x8 but unsure of offset to get?? I will be running 33" tyres also. most likely the silverstones to, as they are a little cheaper than other brands. Or Maxxis Mudzilla's, which are 33x13.5. Any info would be great.
Cheers

- Vehicle: Got my truck from a man in Jimboomba earlier this year. It's a reliable, re-painted red 1992 2.8l turbo diesel isuzu mu named Big Red. Found out after i bought my mu, is its engine was built in july, same month i was born along with the same year i was born, guess we are a perfect match as my fav colour is red too.
