What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[JKmotorsports]

Finished my console shift conversion, replaced crappy Performabuilt with an FLT unit and Yank converter, replaced the dual 40 series with a pr. of 10 series and a x-pipe, and a few small things here and there....

Ok, got a call from the tuner, hopefully should be done within a day or two, but because of the design of the headers and y pipe they can't get the front prop shaft in and they can't use cats or the new muffler I gave them. So no 4wd. Muffler would need extensive, ie expensive modifications blah blah blah. I'm so sick of this crap already. They said the exhaust design sux, better to go with kooks. I said no thx, just finish it and I'll just take it to an exhaust shop. I'm so done with this crap!

That really sucks! Sorry to hear that man. I don't think I've ever had a smooth header/aftermarket exhaust install but this just seems ridiculous. Hopefully your exhaust guy will have some better news for you

Hang in there man. You will get it worked out. Let the exhaust wizards fab it up right.

It's fair to say your truck is the reason so many of us have HD hoods. Any reason u didn't just go 4l80? Let's be honest..u weren't ez on that old transmission lol..clean install as usual.

Almost sounds to me that the shop is somewhat incompetent... Just my opinion. Hope you get it back soon though!

They just don't want to be bothered, IMO.

I seriously want to see what happens when u spin the end of that y-pipe. Seems like it would line up. I'd massage that exhaust away from the trans and be done with it. A rubber mallet won't do any damage.

The bad with getting a kit like this is you spend the same money as ARH or KOOKS making it fit. I'd ask for another ypipe from speed engineering and let an exhaust shop finish the install. How hard is it to fit a straight muffler? I had my own set of issues with my exhaust so I feel for ya..I spent $400 having a damn muffler installed.basically told 2nd shop to cut out 1st shop work and start over..

It'll come together.

I'm done wasting my time with those Speed Engineering douches. The shop where it's now did some welding and got it to come together at the flange, so old is connected with the new. I'm sick of this shop's bs too. I'm just gonna take it and hit the muffler shop. Hopefully I won't have any issues with the work that they did. That would just finish off a perfect day if I did!
Btw-based on all my issues and the lousy customer service, I don't think I'd recommend them to anyone, just how I feel.

Just to clarify, I was talking about Speed Engineering.

Just an FYI for anyone doing the tow mirrors mod, make sure when you run a new wire to enable the DRL on the mirror you have the mirrors fully extended(Mirrors are manually extendable up to an additional 4'') or you WILL rip the wire off of the resistor you soldered...ask me how i know lol

How did you get the front facing signals to act as running lights without having the red signal in the mirror on too? Good choice in mirrors btw.

Sorry to hear that, I was thinking about going with the Speed Engineering headers when the pockets say so but I guess not.

I thought they looked great and appeared made of good quality, but I've had nothing but problems with the y pipe and the customer service is almost non existent. But--this is my experience and others may have different experiences. Just my. 02
