The Family Truckster (my mod/build thread - 2012 Yukon Denali)

3 ASAP hands down. I think Serge had it on his Esky and looked killer.

Two or three. Both look sweat !

3 no questioned asked, best looking setup out of all 4

3, 4, 2, 1 is my order of preference.

wow, that's a lot more people in favor of the quad rear tips than I would have guessed... decisions decisions...

* My (at this very moment) thoughts/concerns:
- I absolutely need to push the fast forward button on this whole deal (along with the 22" ck375 project), wife is due to deliver April 22nd!! So.... I wouldn't be super bummed if one of you awesome doods on here were to mysteriously fire up a go fund me page for all this lol (completely kidding)
- I am heavily set on the Touring tone for my system
- The corsa system for the Platinum/Premium escalade (quad rear tips), from what I have researched, only comes in Sport tone... (will be making a phone call to Corsa for confirmation on this belief - if I'm wrong, then I have some more considering to do)
- going touring allows for a "little" more wiggle room later on for the possible trip down header road
- I am sold on 86ing the spare tire assembly and installing the el cheapo GM factory inflator/patch kit that came with the premium/platinum-s, all for saving weight

* If the money were in my hand this instant (and ck375s already rolling on the truckster) I would:
- place an order for Corsa Touring - Side Exit Dual 4" Tips (now to decide on diamond black polished or standard polished) and rock that till the bumper project is good to go...
- place an order on the whole esky bumper setup & high five old buddies I used to work with at the local chevy dealer and allow them to "get a little over spray onto my bumper when theyre doing a black job in the near future".
- make nice with local muffler shop to bend me up an exit pipe to mate with the molded esky tips.

* Spring time ideas (Stage II for my blower project)
- pin the crank
- HD tensioner
- 8 rib kit (maybe?)
- 8, 9 or 10 ish lbs. of boost (pulley down)
- switch back to my original e85 injectors (more #s, newer, better condition etc etc), the only reason I am currently rocking the pink magnuson ones is because I am running the factory magnuson tune - they aren't in horrible condition or anything, just my factory e85 ones are better and have less miles I believe)
- local dyno or black bear tune
- maybe (big maybe) headers?
- throttle body?
- research spark plug gap adjustment for increased boost?

I could seriously listen to these all day...

Just putting this here as a "place holder" for later reference for myself... If any of you guys on here have a history with these or any other pulley setup (8 rib or other) please by all means chime in!

Also.... Anyone on here know exactly how to pursue this????

 

[FamilyTruckster]

Ugh! I've got a baaaaaad itch, gotta do something, too much down-time! Rims and Tires or Exhaust first/next??? If I scratch on the exhaust, I'm thinking I'll just go with the Corsa Touring dual tip side exit immediately, and down the road get the esky bumper and tips and have a local pipe shop fab me up a "Y" to exit the **** and attach to the tips... Or should I buckle down, stop buying punk records for a while, re-use a few of my son's diapers and save up to do the CK375's with some new rubber?

 

[Fosscore]

Wheels and tires are instant change to the truck NOW. Exhaust sounds great but doesn't really make you snap your head back every time you get out of the truck or take the trash out. My vote is rubber and shoes on the ground. Exhaust can wait.

Punk... Was just listening to The Exploited The Massacre today in fact.

ck375s gonna look nice.
