  1. I just installed 2 thrush glass packs, cheap as hell... and you what, it sounds awesome! I will try and get a vid up in a few days, I think you guys are gonna like this. It sounds very old school muscle and basicly no rasp like I was expecting.
  2. I live south subs outside chicago. I will ship if you want it, might be like another 10-12 dollars depending on were you live. Give me your area code and I will check.
  3. I just installed 2 thrush glass packs on my SS, it sounds bad ass! I had a 2 into 1 flowmaster and I wanted somthing different. Its not raspy at all, very deep and loud ass hell WOT! It was the cheapest and best exhaust mod I have done, $40 bucks for 2 mufflers.
  4. I just removed my flowmaster, when I picked up the truck it was installed on the stock pipes so I am not sure what series it is. It is in very good shape, had a deep mellow sound to it...$50 bucks takes it.
  5. I was thinking about painting my stock wheels. I have new 305s on them now, and it looks much better... has anyone tried painting them yourself, what product and should I do flat or gloss? What about winter, will it hold up? Thanks, pics would be nice too.
  6. I want to install an aftermarket radio in my 03, I was looking for a harness and all I found are ones for 80$!!!! Thats friking crazy! Do you guys know of any cheap harnesses, I dont care about the door chimes or steering wheel controls. Thanks
  7. Hi guys, this is a non SS question. So I am working on my 70 cutlass right, and one of my trans lines sprung a leak, well after I fixed it and went to add trans fluid, I accedently pored a little gas down in there This happen because I forgot I used one of the empty trans quarts I had to drain my carb. I didnt pore much before I noticed this stupid crap, mabey a 1/4 of a quart. But what do you guys think, do I have to change my trans fluid now or will it be ok? I cant belive how stupid this is!!!!! Thanks
  8. Hey thanks, both you guys! Nice site, and I most likely will go with the same suspension setup other then keeping what I have in the rear now. What other goodies are under that elco?
  9. Were did you see it? I was going to sell it for a wiel but decided not to, I am shure the add is still there LOL
  10. Diggin the paint job and wheels, it should be pretty fast since the C10 is alot lighter then the SSS! Very cool, I would just loose the spare on the side, but very nice! Gold and white is one of my fave color combos
  11. Hey thanks guy! Montanass....I was thinking hotchkis setup also, how well does it corner compared to you truck? I would like to be even around the corners with a 4th gen camaro if not better! When its done like I want, I want to hit road america and rip up some imports LOL! That would be some crazy sh$t to see this thing on your a$$ at a road course! Iam thinking lower it 2 inches, fast steer gear ratio box, and monster sway bars! I could probly get 345/18s on the back without any mods! Scary thinking but hell, thats what its all about. Later guys, thanks for the imput! Makes a man feel good when I am still getting snowed on
  12. About 4 years, alot of wasted money, and still going LOL. I love it but it shure is alot of work to keep up on. It likes to breakdown alot but when it runs it runs like a bull! I plan on putting some 18s on it and really beefing up the suspension so I could hang corners. I also want to put a 6 speed in! 160 in a muscle car would be bad a$$!!! I was into drag for along time, but I want to make it more of a G machine now. But that will be years down the line, lots of money that I dont have
  13. Looks nice man, I love when my olds is on the back of my SSS too! Feels good, whats under the hood of that thing? I love how both your car and truck are the same shade of blue!
  14. Thanks guys, it took alot of blood and beer to make it like that felt awsome to take it out a few times, I cant wait for summer! The motor is a olds 455 around 9.1 compression. It has ported edelbrocks, .565 lift solid cam, victor intake with an 850. Full 3" X pipe exhaust with dumps and spitech prostreet muffs! The tranny is a built 400 with a 12 bolt rear and 4.10s. I am looking to get a built 200r4 though because highway driving sucks, and this really is a street car more then a drag car. It went 12.0 @ 111 last year with a bad bog off the line, should go 11.50s easy I just need to get the carb worked out and a better convertor. For a pump gas street car it rips! I smoked my bros bolton LS1 T/A last week by about 5 cars,LOL. Thanks though, I am glad you guys like it. This is why my truck is stock, my wife almost killed me when I told her I wanted headers for the SS
  15. Sounds tuff man, I like it. Whats undr the hood and all!
  16. Next time its nice I will wax it up, and mabey get a burout pic up with some better ones! If you guys are intrested.
  17. I took here out last week and shes running good! I cant belive how slow my truck felt after diving it around all day, LOL. What do you think of my pride and joy.
  18. Hey shadow, that would be cool. I would love to hit some shows this summer! Do you guys think I should get a tune first then. What would I see the most gain from? I am new to this new school stuff, even though I am only 27, most of my cars were old school muscle. A little head work, cam , and headers mad a big differance and it was all cheap! It blows my mind how much money it cost too mod up these trucks! I had a 2000 vette for a year and I sold it because everything cost an arm and a leg! I am just at a loss right now, because I have no idea what would make the most differance. I dont want to do much to the truck because I plan on selling my 70 cutlass to buy a 2010 camaro! Thats going to be my toy, so I am just looking to do some basic stuff to the truck over the next year. Thanks guys
  19. I see what your saying, I do like the fact that OBX are stainless. Thats a plus living in chicago. Shadowsniper....did you gain 3 tenths without a tune. I will get a tune eventaully but the headers are first, this way I dont need to get a retune. Headers without the tune should still make a decent gain right? I was thinking I would see more pull in the mid to top end.
  20. Getting headers for my birthday My first real mod to my truck! I need to decide on the pacesetters or the OBX setup. The OBX seems to come with cats, will these work with the computor or will I still get a trubble code? Also price comes into play, the pacesetters fit the bill but no after pipes and no cats. I really dont want the cats, but if the OBX cats will not set off a code that would be nice. Not shure what to do, I guess it depends on the cats working or not! I dont want to spend the extra money for usless cats, and the mid pipe I could make myself! ( I have a welder ) What do you guys think?
  21. I live just ouside of chicago, man it sucks bad here! Every day I am looking at the weather and it just wont stop snowing and raining I wash my truck and it stays clean for a few hours! Its getting pretty frustrating, and next week dont look any better! I cant wait to wash and wax, and drink a beer outside!!!! Just needed to rant a bit, anyone else live out in this toliet with me?
  22. Just a heads up, corsa might flow better but personally I really dont like the sound. Without headers corsa has what seems to be an import note or somthing! I had a vette with corsa exhaust and it was the first thing I changed! With headers I am shure it sounds much better, but I would go with flowmaster. They might not flow as good, but with the power these truck make you will never notice. Flowmaster will sound good and strong and flows just fine. If you dont want flows you could always go the custom route and run what ever muffs you want. Just my O2
  23. Wait a minute!!! You sold your stockers for 1,200$ .... Hell I will just sell mine and save up an few hundred and I could do the same thing! Thanks man, you were a great help! Now I just need to sell my stockers. Were did you sell yours at?
  24. I dont need wheels with tires, my tires are still pretty good! I was thinking of just getting rims and putting my old tires on and sell the stockers. I will check out centerline though, thanks man. I want a 5 star with a dish, I hate wheels without the outside lip!
  25. Whats up guys, I am looking to get some rims for the summer! Its gonna take me a few months to save up with the bills I have, so I cant get anything to pricy. I would love to get a set of 22s with 305s, but I havent seen any for under $1,700. I might have to stick with 20s and put my tires on. What do you guys think, any place to find good deals? I could swing $1,200 mabey $1,300 at the most. Thanks
