    weird sound after header install???

    If it sounds like pst-pst-pst, then it's likely a header gasket leak or even a leak where your exhaust bolts to the headers or h-pipe crossover joint. If it's a gasket leak you'll hear it all the time, even after the car is warmed-up. If it's a leak at the header/exhuast joint, then it will...

    2010 V6 exhaust leak after header install?

    I would check all of your air intake connections to make sure the engine is not sucking in any additional air that isn't going thru the mass air meter. As far as smoking, that's simply any grease/coating getting burned off of the new exhaust and headers. I would also make sure that you have...

    Suggestions to gain low-end torque

    I figured everyone would say gears, as that's about the only option out there. But changing to 4.10's will make 1st gear pretty much non-exhistent. Maybe I'll just keep saving my money and when I get enough saved I'll just go the SC'd route.

    Suggestions to gain low-end torque

    Look at the signature, lots of bolt-ons but I'm missing some low-end torque (idle - 2700 rpm). Anyone have any proven suggestions on how to gain a little more low-end torque? I already have 3.55's, so going to 3.73's isn't going to make much of a difference for the costs involved. Is there...

    Resonator drone

    Honestly this really surprises me. Locating the M80's after the factory h-pipe is almost like adding a mid-muffler, plus the fact that you have the cats still intact. These together should remove just about all the drone. Personally I don't think a x-pipe will help, but it will make the...

    HP guesstimate?

    385 crank HP 323 wheel HP But that's just a rough estimate and a WAG. One thing that is holding this back is the Charge Motion Plates. You're going to have good airflow in, then hit the restriction of the charge motion plates, and then have free flowing exhaust out. Someone else would...

    pro 5.0 shifter

    You can call Pro-5.0 and they'll send you some different bushings/washers. I had the same problem and installed the new bushings and everything worked great. You may have to experiment a little because the easier you make 5th/Reverse the more difficult 1st/2nd will be.

    Noise in driveline somewhere

    wumph-wumph-wumph! Maybe it's some umpha-lumpas....... Just kidding It could be brakes just slightly hanging or wheels bearings. Jack the car up and spin the tires to see if you can figure out where the sound is coming from (front, rear, left, right). Or since it's under warranty, learn...

    axle backs

    You could try to install a set of resonators. These work really well at taking care of almost ALL the drone.

    Remote Trunk Release problem

    Sounds like the motor is bad, like the gears are grinding. It may continue to work for awhile like that, but not for longterm. I'd get it replaced.

    O/R h-pipe

    Honestly I don't think it matters what brand it is, they're all going to sound pretty much the same. However, there is a big difference in how a H-Pipe sounds vs. a X-Pipe. The difference that you're seeing in the price has to do with the type of materials used. Stainless is going to be the...

    Buzzing Flowmasters

    Do you have the stock h-pipe or an o/r H or X Pipe? I know with an o/r H or X Pipe the mufflers will sound very raspy at a certain rpm range (1800 - 2500). If you don't then you could have a problem with the baffles coming loose inside the mufflers. I believe this may of been a manufacturing...

    Front End Damage

    I have the CDC Classic Chin Spoiler and it should cover up almost all of that damage.

    How much will 20's slow me down?

    I don't have any specific data to prove this. But I just went from 17's to 20's (staggered 255/35/20's Front & 295/30/20's Rears) and I can tell you that "seat of the pants" power there is a slight loss as well as a mpg loss (approx 2 mpg around town). To try to counter-act this problem I'm...

    GM pricks

    These Dealers probably don't want to budge on their price because they paid too much for them in order to get the "New Camaro". Which I'm sure everyone can agree the Camaro turned out to be way more hype than what it actually is.

    Ford guys: where can I get a new "built with Pride" sticker?

    Call your local Ford Dealership. They should be able to order you a new decal, but be prepared as this silly little sticker may be quite pricey.

    Rear spoiler gasket??

    You could cut your own out of a sheet of gasket material.
