I like Dynomax to a certain extent. Their pipes are that gross cheap way of bending pipes though. You should be able to see it on ebay.

SLP Loudmouth isn't quiet, so avoid that.

Looks great! I like the interesting stripe design for the nose. That's a little unusual.

Flowmaster 80 series on an lt1 sounds great imo.
Flowmaster 80 series on an Ls1 sounds lame (not loud or aggressive) but is very quiet because they don't flow at all..
a Borla exhaust isn't going to quiet it up much, if you get the adjustable one especially, but will sound great.

hi, i just put in new u-joint in my drive shaft but the caps seem to be too small cuase the move after i tighten down the straps.

anyone else ever see this or have this problem? its weird to me because they pressed in fine but slide when bolted to rear diff.

do you think putting on the old caps on could take care of it?

.

do you think i need bigger sway bars than the stock hollow SS ones or are they fine and not needed to be upgraded?
was lookin at the BMR sway bar kit...but maybe it overkill?

i am going to put in BMR lower control arms and cross bar for sure though.

The biggest thing to check on the cars is to make sure the window motors aren't burnt out. They are the Achilles heel on these cars and have to be changed every few years because they burn out.

I'm not sure if it's universal to all '98-'02, but the horn on our's used to go out when I would spray water on the underside of the car. Might as well check the horn. I believe there are two horns, because I'd know our '02's got wet and went out when the car started sounding like it had a Ferrari horn (high pitch). The low pitch one would get water in it, but haven't had problems since it was replaced on warranty.


Nice site! This is completely off of subject but if you want to use my 2002 black SS I have no problem.

Thanks Zach, but I have the color page pretty well set right now. I do still need pics of onyx black and bright red low mileage '98-'00 cars though, just to fill in what I consider gaps for those colors. It's easy to find low mileage SSes in stock/original condition, but not Z28s. Wheel changes and hood changes are common.


Quick Reply: what should i get????
