Added one 12inch Pioneer subwoofer and a 1600 watt amp. The amp is my old one from my avalanche. Just the right amount of bass without it being TOO crazy.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Got an electric exhaust cut out today. Impulse buy and I'm glad I did it. Great little mod. Almost like a straight pipe on demand [emoji57] I have been loving this thing all afternoon

You have to cut a hole in the exhaust pipes and just weld it in. Not hard if you have the tools and know how I suppose. But I don't have the tools, nor have I ever welded, so I can't give you a true "this is how hard it is" opinion. I had the muffler shop I got it at install it. Took them about an hour to an hour and 15 mins from the time i handed them the keys to the time I got w call saying it was ready.

Install and cut out ran me $325 ($355.xx after tax) and that's with me running the wires. I told them I'd rather do that part myself so that I can have it exactly how I want it (also saved me $75 + tax)

I'll get you the model and brand in the AM. The shop stopped selling cut outs for a while cause the last brand they sold kept having issues but they found this one and have been selling them for around 2-2.5 years now and no one has come in with a single issue yet

The height difference doesn't look to obvious, but the ride is so much better. Truck sits about 3/8" higher now…

I'd love to hear how it sounds. Any video clips yet? Also, how far up the line dis you have it put in? I had a new muffler put it with sidelet, but the shop wouldn't cut any cats out. Said they could lose their license if they did, pansies.

I really meant to ask the shop to put it before the second cat, that way the sensors in the first wouldn't freak out every time I have it open, but it slipped my mind and they put it right around midway between the second cat and the muffler.

I have a couple videos but they do no justice.

I'm trying to find a good place to have a friend video me driving by and acceleration from a dead stop with it both open and closed.

The sensors shouldn't freak out right? So long as it's downstream all it will see is a little less backpressure. As far as I knew they were just worried about AFR and bad particulate unburned from the cats. All that should still be the same. Not an emissions expert, just my understanding.

I'd be real interested in this if it doesn't affect the sensors anyway. I want mine to sound more better too. My muffler new muffler still has a flapper and almost shouldn't qualify as being more than stock :(

It doesn't affect the sensors, sorry, I should've mentioned that I originally really wanted to put the cut out before the first cat, that way it's straight exhaust, the loudest it could possibly be, cause you know, sometimes you want the loudest possible haha. But then the first cat sensors would've freaked whenever it was open. If you put it anywhere after the first cat then nothing will freak out except for you the first time you hear how good it sounds [emoji41]

 

I was really happy with my 18" magnaflow (removed flapper) but now, I realize i just thought I was happy, I'm driving with the cut out open more than I thought I would haha

The ride is much better then it was with the 2" RC lift. I find it even better then it was stock…

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
