    lowered with longtubes?

    I have SLP and i scrape from time to time over speed bumps but i think it may be my cats doing all the scraping. I have not lowered my car yet though. I am afraid to lower it because it would be my luck that after i do it i will hit a speed bump and tear of my exhaust.

    Poor gas milage

    Okay i have really bad gas milage on my car. I get anywhere from 150-160 miles per tank. Sometimes more, but never anymore than 200. I will admit i do get on it occasionally but its not all the time. If that is the case and i just have a heavy foot then fine but i was curious if there was...

    when it comes to Automatics...

    Okay i have seen two autos on here that have 4.10s and as long as tehy are not regretting it then i will be going with 4.10s. Worst case scenario i have to spend another 500-600 to swap em out for 3.73s. I go on the highway maybe 5-6 times a month and even then its only like 30-45 minutes tops...

    when it comes to Automatics...

    See now that raises a question in my mind because i do tend to do some 75 mph highway driving from time to time. Is it just bad because of gas milage or is it bad engine wise? If i see 200 miles on a tank with my car its a lot. I ususally only see around 160 to 170.

    when it comes to Automatics...

    Is it better to use a 4.10s or 3.73s? My friends and i were talking about this over the weekend as i am planing to do a bigger rear gear this spring and i was unsure what to go with. I thought i remembered that with autos your better off to go 4.10 but friends though that with sticks your better...

    What should i do next?

    Now i don't want to turn this into a pissing match but why 4.10s instead of 3.73s? Is it because its an Auto? I have heard of a lot of people with Autos going with 4.10s.

    What should i do next?

    Okay i haven't done any work on my car in 2 years and i was thinking about trying something new this spring. Mind you i live in illinois so i see snow and drive my car year round (rain, snow, earthquake, whatever). My mods are in my signature but in case you are to lazy to look i have full SLP...

    Engine code points to the cats?

    I too have a leak on my exhaust. Right where the collector meets the cat on the driver side. I guess its time to get it welded and buy some mil eliminators. Thanks

    Engine code points to the cats?

    I don't know what the code is all ik now is that my mechanic said it was the cats. He said he didn't know if they were bad or if my computer just wasn't reading them the same as stock cats and he suggested possibly going somewhere and having the car tuned. Thats all i can really tell you.

    Engine code points to the cats?

    My check engine light came on a few weeks ago and i took my car in to have it checked out and they told me my cats were on their way out. Now i have SLP high flow cats and had them installed just over a year ago and already they are junk? Does that make sense? I would think they would last...

    Check engine light is on!

    Hey, My check engine light came on 2 days ago and i had no idea why. But Yesterday while i was driving on the expressway i noticed that while trying to floor it past a few slow drivers my car (an automatic) would drop in RPMs right before it would shift into the next gear. Not a lot, only...
