Already done? Or are you going to Declad them yourself?

I change them whenever I get the nerve. The ones before, when I made my own resonator delete, were the passenger side dual tips from a Pontiac G8 GT. The current one is the passenger side from an '08 Saturn Outlook. I check out car's exhaust tips as I drive around for work every day and take note of the ones I like. Then I find those cars at my local LKQ and get the tips off. This one flows very well with the curves and angles of the bumper cover, but I don't like one particular angle. If I keep it, I'll have it come out the side more like how my dual round tips did.

They wouldn't be declads if they weren't already done! They'd just be GMC wheels. lol

Replaced my leaky radiator in hopes that I'll be off work early enough tomorrow to get to the track. Also replaced my gas cap and rear glass lift struts.
Denso 2219514 radiator. Has 1 5/16" core, trans oil cooler and engine oil cooler. Original rad has 1" core and TOC only. I have a GM engine oil cooler line set (GM #20828695) on deck for when I change the oil. I got the Denso rad and the EOC line set for the same cost as just the stock-replacement GM rad.
Denso rad has a drain. I used a 19mm socket to turn it by hand to ensure it was closed. It must've been damaged in shipping cuz it snapped way too easily. Yes, I'm overdue to clip my nails. Been busy:
I used an EZ-out to get the remains out. I didn't have a large enough metric bolt so I just applied thread sealer to the plug and screwed it in tightly with a flat head screwdriver wedged in the hole. I'll probably never drain the rad so I'm not concerned about it:
While I had the access, I cleaned the A/C condenser by spraying it from the inside out with the garden hose. I had to spray the coolant off the frame and splash guard anyway.
New gas cap:
