When you guys are saying "dumped" are you talking about doing a "muffler delete" or just cutting the pipes off after the muffler and dumping them to the ground? I'm considering putting in an x pipe in place of the muffler for some good cylinder scavenging then dumping dual pipes out the side just before the rear tire. Any thoughts?
My CTSV goes Stainless headers, cats, xpipe, exits to the rear and I get compliment after compliment on it's sound.

Would love to meet up here in TN too! I own a restaurant in Nashville that we can always use. Check us out at www.smokinthighs.com If you want to know about the food see our yelp, trip advisor etc reviews. That guy that called me an **** in one of the reviews was right that day... but he and his wife really sucked too!

It sounds like you're at the point of needing a really good front end job done to all your front steering components. If toe out makes this go away you need a lot more than the low price of ball joints. Start at the steering box and replace it, then follow all the way through, the steering rods, pitman arm, etc etc until you have everything replaced. Yes, this isn't cheap... After doing all of that you will get very responsive steering like the truck was when new. If you still have a shake after replacing all of that its time to invest even more into the control arms and under wheel well components.
It know $$$ isn't what you want to hear but my 21 yr old 2 door full size blazer got this treatment about 2 yrs ago at 165,000 miles and it drove like it did the day it came off the show room floor for under $1500. I will always consider doing this to any vehicle at 150k moving forward. It's money well spent.

Downeast Johnny, when you needed your front diff rebuilt @ 45K did it have an obvious humming noise over 50MPH speeds? I'm hearing that in mine and not quite sure what it is. I thought it may be just the front shaft's U joints. Got any opinions for me?

Yea, I'm not crazy about the wing via photo's. Wings on vehicles look stupid... In person, it actually looks pretty good and not obnoxious. We'll see how long I believe that before removing it.

I've been looking for the perfect Silverado SS for quite some time and finally found her! It took me 18 months to find my 2005 Stealth Gray CTS-V... It took me way longer to find a clean SSS that I wanted! Check out "red" in the gallery. I'm interested in supercharging her and what mods are needed to do it. I'm also interested to see if anyone in Nashville, TN meets up. If your looking for a spot I own a restaurant that we can meet up at.
2005 CTS-V Stealth Gray (got it)
2004 Silveraro SS (got it)
2009-14 Holden UTE SSV Redline (ready to import it to the US soon)
