Fresh350's 2004 Tahoe Build Thread

No hate, bit of litre, HP and torque envy, but that's okay. I'll take a little show on my side too. Love to see the performance updates.

Said with love... No homo! Lol. Stay tuned for an mbrp sound clip.

Were they able to make a y for you?

No, guess I'm gonna keep what I have. Gonna try to get a price on a custom prop shaft. I already know it's not gonna be cheap!

Code of the West. No homo has long been understood around these parts.

That sucks... id look more into modifying the header/y-pipe before the shaft.

The inner tubes of the header on the driver side protrudes where the prop shaft would be. You'd have to beat the hell out of the tubes, and even then I doubt it would fit without rubbing. Saw that yesterday while it was on the lift, forgot to take a pic.

I don't completely understand exhaust science, but why couldn't you just have a true dual exhaust, keeping each side essentially independent from the other?

NVM, just saw what Tony posted, My idea wouldn't help there lol.

I would tell them you want your money back and just get a set of pacesetters or something but I know you were already getting no where with them. That really sucks!

Absolutely no where. Even tho this is my personal experience, I really hope people read about my frustrations with them and take that into consideration when ordering. Seems to be a quality made product, if only it fit how it's supposed to and there was some kind of customer service.

Got the tint redone today...

I'm also probably gonna try to tackle the heater core this weekend...

Finally finished this nightmare...

Old heater core was full of crap and it was starting to seep a little. Glad I finally got it done so I can start more fun projects

One of those things you'll never have to do or worry about ever again tho.

Yeah I hope I won't have to worry about it again haha. It's really not too bad just very time consuming and lots of hardware

I think all together around 8-9hrs... I did some cleaning as I was getting it back together

So I ran into an old buddy at my Emission Cert class and it turns out that him and his brother have a performance shop for side work (not enough business for more than 1 or 2 thriving go fast shops in our area). On break one night we went out and he was checking out the Tahoe and he said he has a set of next to new Texas Speed long tubes and y pipe for me for cheap. We also talked back and forth about tuning and he will possibly throw the Tahoe on the dyno for some baselines and get some ideas of where to go next. Anyway, on to the pics...

Can't beat them for $100... only have a few dyno pulls on them (I know the one elbow is missing... picking that up this week from him)

Also got the ok from the boss to get the order ready for our HP Tuners for our shop. We have a few LS swaps going on and a couple of us have big plans for our trucks haha

 

[Tonyrodz]

Do the headers allow for the 4wd to work?

 

[Fosscore]

Yes! Sound clips when installed. Nice score.
