So what is the verdict Toadster?! Contemplating getting these for my Raptor I have on order. It made the truck sound quite a bit better in the few install videos I watched, at least in my opinion. Appeared they got some modest gains out of it as well. Do tell!

Does sound better IMHO - Need to wait for some dry roads to really check it out - spinning too much in wet..

Quick question, I see the install kits come with the studs, gaskets, and nuts. I am cheap and going to source the parts through Tasca instead of paying $95 for something I can get for $70. But my thinking is I don't need to buy the nuts (W520514-S440) as they should be able to be reused without issue. The studs and gaskets on the other hand I will replace.

Anyone reuse the nuts on their install of the adapters?

Also, I've already proclaimed I am cheap. We can skip the "Why are you worried about $50 when you bought a 70k truck?!"

I agree with your thought process, you dont need the nuts. I didnt need them when I did my install. Definitely get the gaskets and studs though. I ruined mine removing them. The slotted stud tool is for installation only, and will never remove them. You need a jaw type stud remover and a torch.
