    Stupid Mistake (X-Pipe)

    nyuk98gt wrote: Some x-pipe manufacturers include an insert for the drvier side. The insert looks like a trumpet bell and just slips inside and seals once the nuts are cinched up. Look in the box for the insert. I don't know if Pypes has the insert but it might be in the box. Yes Pypes...

    Stupid Mistake (X-Pipe)

    Ok, got this back together but the drivers side o2 sensor is just a bit short of fitting back in. So my next question is there an extender i can buy and will it be alright to drive it disconnected for any period of time? The people over at American Muscle said Pypes for the mid pipe is...

    Stupid Mistake (X-Pipe)

    mransr try putting all the others back on TIGHT...then go back to working on the PITA one often problem bolt will be a lot less of a problem if they aren't supporting the whole part . The air compressor that i had was just not strong enough i guess, so I went and bought a better...

    Stupid Mistake (X-Pipe)

    mogs01gt Use one GOOD swivel and put some elbow grease into it. I broke two swivels trying to remove mine before I got a higher quality swivel that was able handle all the force. You was able to get in there with 1 swivel? I got the 1 side of the passenger off without swivel without...

    Stupid Mistake (X-Pipe)

    Well guys, I thought i would take on changing the mid pipe this week and found what a stupid idea this was. I did some research, I seen where the passenger nut would be a pita. But didnt put a whole bunch of thought into that because research also brought that up when i did the 93 GT mid pipe...

    See anything strange???

    Hi everyone, I was changing the brakes on the car and decided I would take a few pictures and let you guys take a look if you get a chance and maybe tell me more about my car. I have owned it just about a year now and am trying to figure out what has been done to it. Granted I didnt...

    Knock/Pop sound

    I know, and i wasnt arguing or trying to make an argument, I shouldve worded that more correctly. The sound happened a few more times today, twice it happened after i was moving 10-15mph and then 'pop'. That is freaking loud! I know there is some kind of Steeda suspension on this thing, need...

    Knock/Pop sound

    I think i can rule out motor mounts as the sound is coming from the back. The sound would be better described as someone kicking harshly the under carriage.

    Knock/Pop sound

    Quote " this may or may not be it, but mine made the same noise when I would take off from a dead stop. After replacing every GD suspension component there is...it ended up being a bad rear caliper that was sticking. May not be it, but might help you think outside the box, I found it was bad...

    Knock/Pop sound

    Hi Guys, I have been having a mysterious popping sound coming from the rear (I think it may have also come from the front at times). It almost always makes this sound when first taking off. The last few days though i have heard it at shift times. This has progressively gotten more...

    4.10s in an AUTO?

    So these tuners will fix my speedo? The tranny shop that put the gears in offered a shift firmer for 300, I wonder if they are talking about the Jmod you speak of. Will have to check that out.

    4.10s in an AUTO?

    Well they are in, and wow nice feel upon take off. I was charged pretty hefty ($432) and they told me they couldnt adjust the speedo because they didnt have flash capabilities. Now i run about 15 mph off or so. Anyhow, definitely need to get something done with the shifting now as it is in...

    4.10s in an AUTO?

    Alright, so I guess it will be time to purchase the tuner as well. Being somewhat new to this idea, are they pretty easy to use? Are there limits on these tuners so that I cant totally screw up something causing serious damage? Thanks for your replies, this really helps a ****load.

    4.10s in an AUTO?

    Hi guys, Does anyone else have this setup? I have ordered the gears via the advice I received in the forums here and started to think a little more about the matchup. If i am not on it, will this thing be shifting at 3-5 mph? How would you suggest I approach this problem?
