i need to figure out something, ****** gas mileage sucks. esp when 3 out of 5 cars i owe are gas guzzlerssss

 

[clean454]

i knew a guy that put a spring under his gas peddle so it was harder to push and it kept him from speeding,

also i get like 7.8 ish on average

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha thats funny. i think if i just put my stock exhaust back on it ill be fine haha. damn that sucks.. thank god for grandprixs getting 33mpgs haha

Did you keep your EGR?

Did tighten the loose nut behind the steering wheel?

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

how the hell do you only get 10 MPG? i get 12-14 out of mine sttin on 35's...

The EGR is built into the intake manifold not the exhaust manifolds/headers..

What loose nut??

how the hell do you only get 10 MPG? i get 12-14 out of mine sttin on 35's...

your guess is as good as mine. lol well screw you then! lol your stupid vortec motor hahah

Did those long tubes come down below the frame at all?
I want long tubes, but I just had my exhaust ran a few months ago, so I'm thinking about getting shorties to keep from having to go back to the exhaust shop....
They look awesome, by the way...

Actually these long tubes are the only way to go slammed or really low, the old stock ypipe was way beneath the frame and was the weakest link if hitting a pothole. But these LTs sit above the tranny cross member and will never be seen or touch the ground.

thanks man!

Im sorry Im new here and a newb but what is the difference between a TBI and the vortec engine? I have a 96 2 Door 4x4... which one do I have? And I get 13ish mpg in my hoe. But then again sometimes I like to hear my flowmasters and the gas gauge shows it. Haha

 

[AtomicHoe094]

TbI motors are from 88 to 95
Vortec are from 96 and up.. You would have the vortec then.

Vortecs get better gas mileage in most cases. They have different heads, intake, OBD2, etc etc..

 

[raptorforme93]

Oh alright. I was pretty sure that I had a vortec. I like your Hoe man

 

[AtomicHoe094]

thanks, same goes to you. Paint that frame black then it wont draw out so much attention but looks good otherwise!

I guess I need to get off my rear and put on my LTs! Should have done long ago but life is crazy! Install looks good rims look sweet!

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha thanks man, yea ive been punching myself in the head why i didnt install these like a yr ago when i bought them! pretty simple install over all tho

 

[961500]

Just finished the install on mine wasnt to bad. Thanks to Hapyspaz and his mechanical mind we got them on in around four hours. Biggest pain was adjusting motor mounts to give passenger side the clearance it needed.
First pic is Hapyspaz and my two year old doing a quality check! More pics tomorrow getting it welded up the rest of the way.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha good stuff. was yours close to hitting the frame on the passenger side?? i wonder why there like that..

 

[Rebelution]

Did you guys see a noticeable difference in performance with the lt's?

 

[961500]

Mine hit on the passenger side. I called pacesetter said to check motor mount alignment mine were off by an inch or so. After adjusting slid in with about a quarter inch of gap. As far as performance to soon to tell had to run open home last night and this am to exhaust shop. It was just damn loud my ears are still ringing!

 

[raptorforme93]

thanks, same goes to you. Paint that frame black then it wont draw out so much attention but looks good otherwise!

Yea the black frame will look wayy better than the rust colored frame now!

And Im also interested in how much power you gain from the headers. Let us know man!
