What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Tonyrodz]

Yea i had the chevy dealer i work at do mine and it was about 100

Still good. This was a Meineke.

Don't forget everything is more expensive in Jersey, and crooks on each corner.

Yeah... I hate it when you try something and it doesn't work out the way you think/hope it will and then you try different things only to find out your still not happy.

Oh well, sometimes it just works out that way I guess... trial and error... I will get it squared away eventually though.

I guess it's a good thing I got the headers for half price... although I have probably spent what I saved on the headers on all the other "experiments"... lol

So far I am...

$275 for the headers (New from JBA =$600+) a guy bought them for his Tahoe and never installed them before trading his truck.

$40 for cat removal... I sold the guy at the muffler shop a 61 disk Technics CD changer for $40 so that one is a break even deal.

Then, the same day I had them add in the used Magnaflow style muffler to make the beast quieter... that was $40 including the muffler.

Then I had them build me a new Y-pipe out of 2.25" pipe to regain the lost bottom end... that was $125

Then I bought the new 3 chamber Magnaflow for $90 including shipping and they charged me $60 to cut the old mufflers out and weld the new muffler in, including removing the resonator out back and bending new pipe to run the tip out the back.... SO...

$275 + $40 + $125 + $90 + $60 = $590 so still about the same price as just the headers alone but I have a completely new exhaust system at this point. Hopefully Monday will be the last time I spend any money on exhaust for a looong time.

now that is hustling.

Sounds like some good prices/ negotiation for the work done. That’s awesome. [emoji106]

Alright ladies and jelly spohns, here it is...

I noticed today while cruising about 60mph there is a very annoying drone... it makes the road noise from the tires sound like a... wha- wha- wha.... so I think I'm gonna have to add the resonator back in.

I think I will see if they can stick the resonator up in front of the muffler instead of back at the tail pipe... we shall see... I am getting pretty tired of fooling with it at this point.

I think it sounds pretty good from outside the truck but I can't take the drone.

I like the tone it makes. You are right, it is quite a bit louder than i expected. But as you said, you dont have converters. I have seen a video of that same muffler on a stock gmt800. Was barely louder than stock. But they have only 2 converters so hard to judge of that. I still think im just going to do resonator delete then decide if 3rd cat delete is necessary. Although i still think that will be necessary. I plan on doing a similar exit you went with, but with a tip like the one the Corsa kits have. If all this doesn't net me the results im anticipating. That leaves me to the point i need to just suck it up and spend the $1100 on the Corsa kit.

Armrest looks uncomfortable, but stylish.

My old one was cracked so... that takes care of that lol

If that armrest cracked, you'd have a serious problem. You'd probably just laugh it off, though.

Ha! Does anyone know if you’re “allowed” to remove the bottle label? Would look much better off, and doesn’t help that they put it on crooked...
