yea, I have a slight bend in my stock, and it rides ok. just had new tires put on and the guy said it'd be ok. im lookin for a new one in the mean time. see sig.
....Magnaflows aren't as quiet as people claim. Under moderate acceleration (pulling out of your driveway), it is loud until you hit around 2,300 rpms.
what happens around 2300 rpms? they quiet down?
been having the same prob and prayin that I dont need a rebuild. a little comforting to see its common though. guess i'll just be getting a tranny tuneup as that seemed to help you guys.
Ive heard someone in this forum say they had it done at 105K and it turned out great. Im not sure though, im in the same hi mileage boat you are. it'd be good to know for sure.
ive been lookin into the same swap, and that thread is helpful. just wish a list would be made for just the swap itself, not all the modifying to make a racecar out of it. for my uses i dont need to open the engine up at all.
