You'll love it Matt! Has a deep aggressive sound like a corsca. Only bad is it can have some interior drone. I had those exact mufflers on a true dual setup on my 1995 Impala SS. Still thinking about ditching my magnaflow for one :)

Adjusted the gain on my stereo harness. Stereo was sounding a little low. Sounds good now. Remounted the brake controller for towing. Vaccumed the interior. Was going to wash, but started raining. Winter up north sucks!!!

Lowered the rear and front another inch or so.... and installed a corvette and 4th super servo. Now I need to get around to get the bumper, roll pan, and smooth vents painted.

I'm not even going to tell you what the weather was like here today.

I like your truck.

swapped out the LED fog light bulbs for PIAA Xtreme White, 4000k halogens. The 9W LEDs weren't cutting it at all, couldn't even see the light from inside the cabin. Hopefully, the PIAAs are better, just wish the light was really white or blue/white, you can still see the yellow in them.
So now I have HID lows, Halogen highs, LED DLRs, and Halogen fogs.

Familiarize yourself with the Kelvin scale to find the color you want. Lights don't really start getting bluish until they get above 6000K. I have some 6000Ks in my fogs and they're super white. I've got 7050Ks in the bike and they've got that look your trying to find. Clean bluish purplish color.

You really should get a set of HID's for your fogs, you will notice them for sure!

Thanks, I appreciate it! It has changed quite a bit since this picture (demolded, HD hood, LED tail lights, projector headlights, and I took the chrome inserts off of the rims and took the roof rack off.....oh, and lowered it more). I need to update it sometime soon I suppose.

Installed amber LED DRLs. Not too bad for $3 off ebay.

Amber DRLs is where it's at. I did the conversion and I love it.

Please do. I bet it looks even better.

Here she is. I sold her back in October and missed her ever since!

It had the LT1 350 bored .30 over, Trickflow 218/228 Cam and 21 degree trickflow heads, Edelbrock short-runner tunnel-ram intake with a BBK twin 58mm throttle body, Granatelli MAF, Trick flow CAI, Aeromotive 60psi fuel pressure regulator, BBK Headers with ORY, Magnaflow Cats and Spintech Sportsman Pro's on a true dual setup. Rear-end had 4.10:1 with a Eaton 30 spline posi and a built 4L60-E. I wanted to go with a T-56 conversion but started to loose interest in her and sold it to a friend for SCCA track use. I tried to keep her looking as stock as possible to be a complete sleeper :)

Buried the speedo...on a closed course.

I hate your guts! .........unless you provide pics, and more detals (I wouldn't mind seeing a thread on it, to be honest). Here's what I did with her so far today:

That mod list is impressive! I love the sleeper idea too! I bet you're kicking yourself for selling it, huh?

took about an hour and a half... i like it.
with the remote start all i have to do it get in the truck and put the key in the ignition to the 2nd notch and drive away. might want a louder siren though..

40 series will give you a bit of drone so if you don't want drone you may wanna look elsewhere. I've had the 40 series mufflers on several trucks/SUVs in the past (I like them a LOT :)) but on all of them the muffler did produce drone within the vehicle. Never enough to bother me, though, but I'm one who kinda likes noise :D

I replaced a 40 series with this spintech, in all honesty they sound exactly alike. I cant tell a difference. If i didnt watch it get swapped out i wouldnt think it got changed. It has a slight throatier sound when you get on it but apart from that I cant tell, it doesnt have that distictive sound I was hearing on all the youtube vids. Im hoping it may need to break in still. I do know this one should flow better than the 40 series so im hoping it might put me a foot in the right direction for getting my ****** milage back up.

They thought cuz it was such a big car that it couldn't go.haha proved them wrong. Chip, thats what grass looks like, havent seen any since november.lol.By the way my mom in law lives in Clearwater. Been there a few times. Nice.
