    Remove slack from accelerator pedal mod. Anyone do it?

    No performance gain from it mainly an ergonomics things. All I used was a 3/8 OD plastic space (cant remember if it was 1/2 or 3/4 long), cut a notch in the side of it with a hacksaw blade and used a pair of zip ties to hold it on. If you have a stick shift it does make heel toeing alot...

    IS THIS WORTH FIXING & HOW HARD IS IT?

    Fixable anything is fixable for the right amount of money. From the list of damage there I personally dont think it would be worth it, car will probably never drive right again. Would also hazard a guess that if you put it on a frame machine the measurements are going to be way out of spec...

    installing new magnaflow catback

    Jack 2 Jack stands and wheel chocks Sawzall (hacksaw if your a masochist) WD40 Assorted Ratchets and wrenchs. Thats all you need, with the sawzall should be able to have it all done in about 60-90 minutes. 3+ hours if you use the hacksaw.

    obnoxious exhaust - any suggestions.

    Magnapacks all the way. Sweetest set up Ive heard (my opinion) was a Mystic Cobra with LT, O/R H and Packs. Think that one even had medium sized animals and large children running :D

    stock exhaust tubing measurement

    Save yourself the hassle and just do the catback. Down the road when you decide to do a midpipe/headers the catback will match up and you wont have to redo it.

    How do you replace O/D switch?

    Cant help you with getting the switch out of the console but once it is out there are just 2 wires going to it. Snip those wires and splice them to the new switch and reinstall the switch in the console.

    Anyone with SLP Loudmouth I's?

    Cat back installs are pretty easy. Jack, 2 jackstands, WD40, Hacksaw with good blades (I HIGHLY recommend a sawzall though), wheel chocks and basic sockets and your all set. Depending on how anal you are should take from 1-3 hours. Just to save headaches I recommend 2 cuts on the...

    Should I install the transgo in a 2001?

    Yours is a 4R70W. The Jerry Mod is about as safe as you can get considering its coming from the guy who pretty much designed the tranny.

    How much can a stock motor take..

    I want to say no but dont remember for sure. Big difference was the heads on em. Rings, Rods and bearings are the things I usually hear of failing at the over 400 levels.

    Magnapacks, are they really stainless

    I just think the Catback was the problem not the entire exhaust. The headers and midpipe are clear of rust still. Would of prefered a no charge factory replacement for the cat back but 250 for the Magnapacks was a great price (bought em used). Should of done something about the tip along...

    How much can a stock motor take..

    On 99+ depending on who you ask the danger zone starts around 400-425rwhp so Id guess around there or lower for the pre 99s (guessing folks). Course if you break it you can build it better.

    Should I dump after mufflers?

    Make sure your catback can be dumped. After the tip on my packs was damage I decided to put dumps on. Went out spent 15 bucks for the dumps (2.5" 45* bend) got home jacked the car up to discover that I had forgotten the hangers were attached to the pipe right after the muffler and it was 1...

    Magnapacks, are they really stainless

    I have the Magnapacks and after 3 winters the only rust I have is where the driverside tailpipe/tip is bent. Thats 3 North Eastern winters with oodles of salt and crud. Now if I could just get a replacement tip but I have the old style packs :rolleyes: The stock cat back rusted through...

    SLP Loudmouth Install

    Get the sawzall to cut the stockers. I know first hand the agony of hacksawing a stocker out. (arms start spasming just at the thought)
