  3. Upgrade ideas

    in General SS

    Posted

    Thanks guys really appreciate all the advise every thing helps I hope one day ill have all the goodies on my truck!

     

    I replace the gaskets with GM exhaust manifold gaskets every time I have to pull the headers. They are a multilayer CRUSH gasket. They are ONE TIME use only, just like a head gasket. I'm not saying they won't work if reused, I'm not trying to discredit anyone. Just throwing my mechanical knowledge out there. The next time I pull my headers I will be switching to a carbon wool gasket and I'll let you know how it turns out. GM stuff is stupid expensive here in Canada. $25 per manifold gasket.

    That's good advise using the stock ones small price to pay to stop having to take it all apart again for an exhaust leak!

    You could get OBX LT's, the install would put you over the $700 limit though. Add a 180 t-stat (Lingenfelter {my personal choice} or SLP have good thermo's) and you'll see some nice gains Im guessing right around 400hp. Not too modded, but a nice new tone to the truck and the headers are bolt-up.

     

    What sway bars are you getting? DJM sways will not work with the Corsa exhaust, just want to let you know in case that was your plan.

     

    I am the same way, I do not want a highly modded truck. I have decided on LT's (ARH or OBX), 180 Lingenfelter thermo, Volant ram cai with AEM dry filter, Belltech sways and possible leafs for static drop, Corsa Sport (or another exhaust that may be produced in the future, company is swamped now).

     

    Happy modding :chevy:

    Hey Yeah been toying with the ideas of doing long tubes i asked a few exhaust shops around my area for a quote so waiting to find out then there's the great debate with what brand i hear to go with ARH but with a corsa it can make it a bit loud. I am not sure what to do just trying to weigh some options.

    I have done my research and knew that the DJM dosent work with that i have my eye on the hotchkis setup i know it works with a corsa because a buddy has that setup.

    I have though of doing a thermostat well see what everything cost and do as much as possible with out going to far.

    What's all involved building custom lines fabricating a bracket? what's the best brand of cooler to put on? How much cooler would it run as well! A converter and stall would be nice not really wanting to go to in depth but that seems like there isn't much I can mod with out going deep!
