Re: Exhaust system plan

What's the point here? How is this any better than true duals in 2.5" or 3" with two mufflers and cutouts before the mufflers?

Re: Bolt Patterns 5X120MM or 5X4-3/4"(120.65) ?

It's 5x120. There, it's put to rest, but this topic has already been beaten to death.

That being said, 5x4.75 do work and I have not seen one documented case of failure and lots of people run that pattern on 5x120 cars (myself included).

Re: Procharger install 2013 9C3

Congrats on the Procharger kit. Whenever you get done with the installation, and if you remember, can you please let me know if you have to dent the driver's side strut tower to fit the blower? I did not have to dent the strut tower to fit the G8 main bracket/D1SC. Had roughly a quarter inch cleara...

Re: What is this behind the bumper /grille?

The cooler that you see there is the trans cooler and yes, the box under it is the windshield washer reservoir. I removed both of them on my car (and installed a bigger trans cooler). I never use windshield washers on my nice cars that aren't driven in the elements, so I don't need the reservoir. LS...

Re: My 2014 6.0 PPV Journey

#1. What are your considerations/recommendations for tuning? #2. What kind of ETs can we expect ? I plan on going with MailOrderTuner to begin with, I already have an HPTuners unit and unlocked ECM/TCM, and he says he’s tuned hundreds of PPV Caprices. But after that I may get a proper dyno tune. I’...

Re: 1/4 mile with Mod List

Nice work. You can probably knock off a tenth or two with skinnies.

Re: Another 3.45 thread...

The 3.91s are very similar to the 3.45s, actually. It made my car a little more driveable because of the slightly higher RPMs. There's a little more torque, but on the street it basically just means more wheel spin. I'm, not sure I'd put 3.91s in with an LSA.
