Fixed my exhaust. Drove to Canadian Tire with not Cat at all. ITS LOUD! lol $35 and It sounds beefy but still not completely fixed. Gonna purchase the Y pipe and probably do a simple cherrybomb turbo/extreme/glasspack when I get the money! Dump it down and to the right somwhere by the rear axle. Hidden and loud!

 

At Duals here in Wpg they took out my cat & pre cat.... talk about FREAKING LOUD!!!
I didn't like it being THAT loud so I had them install a high flow cat to cut it back a bit & still be semi-legal. It was obnoxiously loud lol with the dual exhaust & free flow straight through muffler.

 

Yea. I was a little shocked! I had 3 holes in it and 3/4 cut though and thought it was loud. It startled me and then I started uncontrollably laughing lol

 

The same thing happened to me after I cut the main cat off (Pre cat was already gone and main cat was clogged) I started it and with me having no muffler it literally roared to life.

And 2 months later still no muffler no cats and I LOVE IT!!

 

Not doing anything to it except PARKING it! No worries nothing but good things from this truck. But 95 miles per day at 15mpg....you do the math. Back driving my Mazda for work and this will be for joy/family. Next weekend I plan on taking it to local mechanic and get them to look at the transmission. Does not look like I am getting off 7 days here anytime shortly(good money, but no time for anything).

 

I would but the fine for no cat is $366. I went to court with my dad for it the day I cut mine off lol. I was a Canadian Tire and the Piping I needed was the same price as a Cherrybomb glasspack. The only thing that stopped me was it needs to be welded on. But today I saw the CB Turbo is $45 so after the Y pipe I'm gonna put that on.

 

Its a $2000 fine here, I just use about quarter of throttle in town. But on on amps or in the country I will giver some gas and let er wind out to about 4k and it sounds amazing.

Also aligned James today in my steering and suspension class, WOW its a pain in the *** to adjust camber on these trucks!!

 

Started to pain the brackets and cross bar for my light bar. First I laid down a coat of black on the bare metal and then I hit them with some spay on bed liner.

 

New valve seals. No more smoke on start up.
Chased down and repaired 2 exhaust leaks. Now onto the one near the driver side manifold.
Replaced a whole mess of vacuum tubing. Huge progress in performance.
New transmission cable..shifts a little stiff even after adjustment but it is a rebuilt tranny..so we'll see.
Trans oil and filter change for the he double hockey sticks of it.

Ok Ok. So not all that got done today. Been saving up for a few weeks. Makes me feel better to put up a list.
