I've had an 8.1 before. It was an '02 2500HD. I had Magnaflow on it and custom tune on it with HPTuners.

However, despite my insatiable urge to modify everything I own, and of course letting a Big Block breathe, one of the things I actually enjoy about driving either Suburban is the peace and solitude compared to the GTO, G8 or Cadillac. All of which have lots of exhaust work in one way or another.

Finally got all my lighting set, well sorta...

Got rid of the old, wore out Halogen front lights and replaced them with LED. I took the plunge because I am tired of ballasts and ignitors on HID kits, so I figured I'd give it a shot...

Headlights, I went 6k. I know the pics show a little green in them, that's more my camera than anything. But you can clearly see the difference between them and the stock 3,200 (and probably less from age), halogens. But the night time lumen output is amazing in comparison...;

And then I rounded it out with 3k LED fog bulbs;

My main beef is with thes fog light assemblies. They're are bolted tight. The problem is, they still wobble. And it looks to me like the adjustment hinge. I may "modify" them when I get a chance to be a sold bolt/nut set up instead of the plastic press-fit connector.

My second beef is, while I had it all apart, I did 6K 3157 LED DRL and then amber 3157's for the parking light/turn signal. So when I went to use them, I got the fast blink, so I had to then order a load resistor Saturday night. So waiting on that.
