Catback, CAI, and Predator.

I'm hoping to get it all on Sat afternoon, but I haven't checked with my buddy yet to see if he has to work on Sat., might have to wait till Sun. if he does.

Work will go down in my garage, give me a call if you want to, (589-8897) you can help us polish off the beer and burgers.

will be watching the D 500 race Sunday, might give you a ring saturday though. Skipping the pulley for now?

tip for removing the stock catback-
after you take off the u-bolts at the stock mid-pipes wrap a ratcheting strap around the muffler and the axle together. Start tightening the strap and it will help slide it off. No cutting required Rubber mallet may be needed to assist.

Yeah, no pulley for now.

I want to have enough money around when I do it to dyno tune properly with the pulley on. Plus, I have got to get this thing dropped, tinted, and get my entertainment system installed in it. $$$

The stock speakers and head unit are a bad joke


Edit: Thanks for the tip on the catback, sounds like a solid plan. We've tried to pull apart stock systems before and wound up cutting them off.

I was the only L their running their must have been 50 LS1's...

next time I'll mount the slicks....and run the race tune

That LS1 Z28 driver was about to pee on himself when he lined up agaist my truck, laughing and joking with his buddies about how I was going down.....I guess the F-1's gave him hope...... I went 12.9-108 he went 13.2-107



that little 13 second yellow Audi was sweeet..........
