What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Bombsquad85]

I replaced the y pipe rather than cut the old ones out and put new ones in. Was under $400 iirc

You have the 5.3 or 6.0? I found a lot of reasonably priced ones for the 5. . But each one I found for the 6.0 was about 200-300 each

I'm not really digging it, what do you all think. I just a cheapo can not high end.

Put some steel wool in there? It helps to catch the oil vapors.

If it works, that’s what matters. But if you want a nicer looking one, I really like my catchcans.com can:

Surprised you still have your stock muffler on.

Surprised you still have your stock muffler on.

I believe it is a giant flopro muffler that is dual 3" in/out. Never looked close at it but I like how quiet it is so I don't plan to change it even if I'm losing 10hp or so. The PO had a magnaflow dual 3" in/out and said it droned terribly. He gave it to me but I think my neighbor stole it lol.

I think its part #2500. Sounds basically stock just a little idle chop and when you get on it there's not much exhaust note just some grunt from the engine. At least that's what it sounds like from inside.

Washed & stripped coatings and wax off, pulled moldings, and did some minor paint correction with my DA and Megs compound. All this in preparation for my full color change wrap. I have to say if you've never used a 3M wheel that they are absolutely amazing. Some people say they're expensive, but only $50 to save me hours and hours of work was well worth it.

Pic of results. 1 of the swatch of wrap upcoming and 1 of Avery's wrap visualizer clad in Gloss Metallic Dark Blue.

What's left before wrap: Another wash, followed by a full claybar treatment, wash again after claybar. Also removing XM & OnStar antennas off roof and sealing holes left behind.

Just got back from the exhaust shop. The drivers side cat flows good. Passengers side is slightly clogged but a piece of the element possibly broke off (he said he heard a rattling in the exhaust which I believe entirely, I've been chasing a rattle for a year now lol).

Cost breakdown. 200 to delete both cats plus 100 to remove the exhaust pipe to get the piece out (if necessary) plus $10 on amazon for 2 antifoulers lol.

Or 350 to weld in a new cat on the passenger side.

Opinions?

I did it as a trade deal..But for tax purposes we are setting the retail price @ $2500 for the film + labor with the agreement that I am to deliver it to his shop needing no prep work to the paint (I strip all product, clay surfaces, paint correction if needed). Price does NOT include door jams and I am responsible for removing body moldings as well as running boards. Basically all they are doing is applying the wrap. $2500 is very much on the low end for a vehicle as large as mine. It's working out to about $9.12 sq/ft. I would expect normally $11-$14 range.

Bought/modified a spare tire rack. It had an adjustable height that I cut the face off of to make the upright tilt away. I also bought 1/8" 2x2 square tube to build a taller upright. Now I can just pull the pin and tilt it back to open the rear door.
