Ole 2 Speed

Got the OEM catback from a silverado, should have plenty of pipe to repair the Y and build a decent dump using this muffler.

If anyone was curious an extended cab 6'6" bed silverado cat back fits in a Tahoe by about 2".

I have often found myself wondering that exact question so thanks.

Anxiously awaiting transmission removal

Let me first start by showing the gaps I had to fill from the cat removal and the pieces I cut from the cat back to do so.

Also disclaimer! I know this isn't "the best" way to do this. Much more time, attention to detail and effort could be put forth but this is not the project for that.

Anxiously awaiting transmission removal

Me to...... Never got to it because I left my laptop at home and didn't want to go back and don't want to pull the trans until i pull codes and try to command 3rd or 4th. Also buddy may be coming back in a week or so which is a month earlier than expected and his ass can pull it I'll bench it lol.

Ok is exactly what the goal was!

I'm excited to finish up the muffler and dump and let it roar, obviously don't expect it to sound good like something with headers and a cam but still fun to experiment.

Hope your thirsty more turdinade to come!

Actually hoping that on the muffler pipe I can do good clean joints and lay some picture worthy beads.

Y pipe re welded in a few spots, muffler pipe done besides a better turn down and hanger. Was able to get some better welds in but still could have lowered the wire speed a tad to make cleaner welds.

It sounds half decent, pretty deep compared to stock but no rasp or crackle, over all very mild even with the leaks due to lack of gaskets anywhere.
