What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Fless]

Wife went to the finger lakes region of New York this weekend.

Hope she enjoyed that little dusting of snow.

My family is originally from that area... DNW

That was in Savannah, but she is from Waterloo/Seneca Falls

Tinted tail lights make me nervous. I removed the stick on tint the PO had on mine. I always think about some clever lawyer using it against me if I get rear-ended.

Most states have laws against tinting headlights/taillights. I have been pulled over quite a few times with my non GM car but cops are really surprised when they see a middle aged bald guy driving with a clean record. They usually give me a verbal warning.

What did you tint the tail lights with?

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I bought them tinted. Looks to be a pretty good quality spray on tint. Not super dark, but dark enough to tone down the bright red. Lit bulbs only look marginally different.

The red interior lights remind me of "RED ALERT" on Star Trek. Like the tinted tails better. Did you DIY, or just replace them with tinted ones?

I like using the dome lights, but I didn't like the bright white LEDs I had that let everyone see me at night. I have a separate white light I can turn on in the hatch area if I really need to see something better.

Replaced the front struts and the rear shocks. Stayed with OEM parts. Man! I didn’t realize how bad the ride had gotten...

Didn't really do anything to the Burb... but Fed Ex did deliver the headers... and I spoke with my buddies at the exhaust shop about deleting the cats and possibly installing a cut out.

What was they're suggestions/ideas?

What was they're suggestions/ideas?

Well I asked him about "hi-flow" cats and he just kinda laughed and said they are all hi flow cats.

He said that some of the older hi flow cats just had the middle knocked out so to speak and didn't really do much of anything from a catalyst stand point.

He said we could knock them out but suggested we just cut them out and replace with pipe and for me to keep them in case I ever wanted to go back to stock.

He also said he wasn't sure how much of an increase in power it would make if any and that I would need to get the downstream O2 sensors turned off in the tune.... which I already knew.

I am still undecided at this point. I like the idea of giving the shorties the best possible chance of making more power by having no restrictions right after them BUT I also don't want to lose too much back pressure and possibly lose some TQ.

Still debating.

No such thing as needing back pressure.

Do one thing at a time and measure for performance! It's hard to resist but you gotta do it!

Not to be argumentative but if this is true, why do smaller primary tubes equate to more torque and larger tubes equate to more horsepower???

Again, not arguing, just always curious about how things work.

That may have been true for older muscle cars, but today with engines it matters more that you match the primaries with the engine and that they go into the collector in the correct order. Engine Masters had a great video on it until Motortreand bought them. You may still be able to find it somewhere. The also did a video on x pipe vs h pipe and that sounds more like what you are referring to. But on the hp and tq levels we are talking about the are negligible.

So, in your opinion, you see no reason to keep the cats?

Do you think it would be a noticeable difference one way or the other?

I am not keeping mine. I don't think you would notice it until you tune it. It also depends on how plugged your cats are. Mine are pretty bad so I may notice a little, but not much.

I have a 6.2 Denali so I am going with the 1 7/8 long tubes from speed engineering.

I am not certain about how much mine may be plugged. The truck has almost 230k on it and as far as I know these are the original cats... not that it really matters as long as the truck was running correctly and not dumping a bunch of fuel or burning a bunch of oil. I have had the truck since it had 155k on it.

Guess I will probably go ahead and remove them just for GP... what's the worst that could happen... lol

Definitely getting the tune updated after it's all said and done.

Replaced vapor canister vent valve and wiring harness. I had removed the spare tire and the brackets years ago so it was super easy and quick to do. No more check engine light.

Washed her today... she's not perfect but the paint still shines where it should.
What do they call it a perfect 10, looks great from 10 feet away.

Eventually I'll get a full coat polish/wax on her, for now the wax job on the hood from a few months ago is holding up well.


I spotted this murdered(blacked out tahoe) down the road...

My butt got cold today, I found this:



I know what I'm doing this weekend

 

[Wolfbraid]

So I had a few minutes, and these came in today. 3157 for the front
(not the fancy JDM ones) $8 wish.com.... we'll see.


They do this, brightly:

Installed:

Rear View(only LED backup/license plate and light strip):

Still trying to find a use for these...(waterproof and white about 3/8inch)

Can you tell me which wires you tapped into for the switchbacks to work? A pic would be awesome. Thanks!
