My 2011 Escalade Build Thread!!

Not sure if this lid will fit Tahoe's/Yukon's. Also I'm pretty sure the cashmere color is a slightly different lighter tan color than what comes in the Denali's. This lid is the new one in the '12 premium esky's and comes in ebony or cashmere. It matches my interior perfectly. Click on the link in my sig for more pics of it

But that lid has a different color woodgrain that wouldn't match the Denali one.

Will it even fit the non-escalade consoles?

I just want the bit in it.

Honestly comparing the insert inside the new '12 premium console lid and my avalanche center console lid (which is the same as your Yukon's), it doesn't look like it'll fit at all... the esky one looks a tad bit wider.

Leaving the stock manifolds on?

im going to see how it does. Right now the stock 6.2L exhuast is 3.5 inches from factory. I ended up cutting the rear resonator off and adding a 3.5 inch in/out magnaflow muffler so will flow great. Im going to prob do the whipple because I dont want to body lift my truck at all

I remember the write up up had about it. I actually bought same muffler and haven't installed it. Should see how it performs now with the tvs2300 as I have been driving it for a bit now with the stock exhaust

Wanna sell that muffler?

 

[Smokymance]

im planning on installing it soon...pretty affordable on ebay, it was like $130 or so!

 

[Smokymance]

Installed the magnaflow last night. Can definitely hear it under throttle. Thanks for suggestion tony

 

[NORCAL SS]

its a great muffler for the price and will get a little louder over time. Did you remove resonator also?

 

[Smokymance]

No left it on there for now. Want to go to a dual tip exit out the side so i have to do a little homework on tips. One thing I noticed is that it doesn't have the "boat/old school camming sound " out the back anymore like the stock muffler did. I'm guessing it's cause it's less restrictive. It did take away from the super obvious blower wine tho as exhaust is louder now and gets pretty throaty under throttle

 

[NORCAL SS]

how do you liek the tvs2300?

 

[Smokymance]

how do you liek the tvs2300?

Its pretty amazing, easy clean install, awesome whine, and no need for the "body lift". It definitely woke this heavy boat up...only have the 3.2" pulley with the magnaflow muffler on it for now and it moves pretty good, noticed a slight difference with the muffler swap as well...want to get headers as i hear good gains come from them, but dont want to get it too loud in the cabin...

lowering the front of the escalade with my $15 dollar mod this weekend

Been doing this for over 6 years now on the 07 up local customers trucks (aug 2006 did the first one and customer still has the truck with no issues)

I will have full pictures and details this weekend since I want to get my escalade down another 3/4 of a inch in the front which this mod works perfect on.

 

[Smokymance]

will this mod be able to lower yukons too? same suspension right?
