  1. I have a 06 v-max with headers and a cold air kit on it. Is a dual 3in set up too much for a basicly stock 6.0? I tryed looking at older post but couldn't find the answer i was looking for.

    It's not too much. Any bigger would be. Didn't your vmax come with true duals all the way to the muffler anyway? I have an 06 vmax and when I bought it new it had true duals to the muffler with bigger than 2 1/2 inch pipe. Shouldn't need anymore than that. Guys on here are running one 3 inch pipe back and they are forced induction. (Corsa).

  2. Okay, so I have our factory bose system in my truck atm and want to put a touch nav, ideally with dvd in. Does anyone out there know of a good "cheap" one that fits in and will retain EVERYTHING from the factory raido? (XM, onstar, Steering wheel, etc..)

     

    A good cheap touch navi? I dont think those words go together in the same sentence. :jester: Your looking at base price of 700 if you want navi i would think (prob more). This isnt including the hookups here.

     

    Here is a link that is stickied in the top of this forum on what is needed to retain all of the factory goodies http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/28384-integrating-aftermarket-with-factory/

     

    You will be buying multiple things to retain all those goodies. I have purchased my things from either metra or scoushe. You can go on either of their sites and put your model and year end to tell you everything you need.

  3. Mx3 pulled up next to me on 275 south. I dropped into second gear at around 55 mph. He took the chance and got the jump. Pulled on him all the way to 120 then let off for traffic. He was at my tail in the end. You could hear his BOV through shifts, he was boosted. I used to have a v6 mx3 and they are fun. Always wanted to through a turbo on it though.

     

    Hopefully I catch some other people on the ride home.

  4. Dont hate on the dusty. Tomorrow is my wash day.

    You can see on the left of this picture where some asshat stole my last head unit. My old one went in with a cage. This one screwed to the dash kit which screwed to the truck itself. The detachable face is a plus for added security to.

    Side picture for above poster. The screen is flat but there is a bulge where the buttons are at the bottom. I thought it was flat all the way down but it ends up being better since you don't accidentally touch the screen to change track and volume.

    USB extension cable with my sd card in it. Works wonderful, especially with mixtrax which is a built in DJ that fades and such.

    Here is where I put my microphone. The Bluetooth is so shit though. I have done everything I can to troubleshoot it but I think its just the way it is. I emailed Pioneer about the subject and they will be getting back to me I hope.

    So other than the Bluetooth I am in love with the unit. A lot of functions and outputs for anything you would like. Definitely a top notch head unit. My bypass from microbypass is also working great with no problems. As soon as I finished the head unit I was rolling around watching music videos without having to hit a dumb switch. One last thing that bothers me is on pioneer compatibility page it says that it will give on screen meta data from a Bluetooth device streaming Pandora. This doesn't seem to be the case and I have also put this issue in the email to Pioneer. The on screen controls do control the skip and pause/play but it would be nice to be able to select a station to stream. This unit is catered to Apple devices and I really hope they come out with an Android compatible firmware update since it just came out a month ago.

  5. Not yet. Will tomorrow. When I was tuned through black bear, Justin advised that I should clean the MAF sensor and relog so I did. Hope I didn't spray it too much. I will keep it updated. Doesn't seem to be running bad at all. Running great actually but could be the reason I'm getting worse gas mileage after installing my tune. This poped up after I installed it and I thought it was suppose to improve mpg a little is why I say that.

  6. If you bring it to the dealer and they mess it up then it would be covered by them? I took mine and had it flushed at 85k but I'm 2wd and vmax...worked great. Dealer won't replace your filter though. I don't think they don't drop the pan but just back feed it. Idk.

  7. Replaced plugs and wires last weekend. This morning I got the flash again. When it has flashed, it feels like nothing is wrong though. Still very strong. What's the deal? Any other things it could be?

  8. Got one of these on the way. Can't wait to put this baby in. Gonna be sweet. Should be here in a week and ill post some pics with a little review.

     

    Btw. If anyone is trying to install this and wants to bypass the parking brake. Get a TR7 or a relay from microbypass for this specific unit. A regular relay will not work only because the new pioneer is looking for a double pulse. The new TR7 or microbypass gives this double pulse. On/off/on and holds. Or just put in a switch but that's not as awesome.

  9. Pace Setter Headers (Part # 70-2265) painted black.

     

    Are these good? I got a good deal on a pair brand new painted black.... Any help right away would be awesome. Thanks

     

    I'm going to spend the extra for ceramics. Price of painted ones plus place around here to coat them is more expensive. Part number for ceramics is 72c2265

    i thought u couldnt have red or blue lights on vehicles unless its a cop car....

     

    also what are u using for ur fog lights? im trying to look for a fog light housing to hook up behind my air ducts

     

    Yeh it is illegal to have red or blue lights. It's also illegal to have exhaust as loud as mine, window tint this dark, watch movies while driving,ect.. lol thought ir would be cool and if there was a cop in front I just wouldn't use it. If the fogs question was for me. I have ddm 55w 6k fogs. Bright as ****. Housing came with the truck. I have a Vmax.
