XPOTRPR build & BS

haha in time.. have so much other stuff on my plate at the moment.. but soon I will get back into really wrenching on the truck and mods.

damn man.. shitty luck..

 

Yeah, made the trip that much more expensive.
Put the '98 on Craigslist the other day, sold in 5 hrs!
Made sure it went to a good home, young guy totally into the 1st gen!

 

nice! always good when they go to someone who will appreciate it as much as you did.

 

inline like Matt and I?

 

yup. just trying to figure out which combination.

replace the vibrant resonator, or replace the Aero 3030xl.

problem is, since I had them extend the Y out past the T case, I have limited room in the 3" piping.

 

damn, I gotta say Matt nailed that one on the head..........truck sounds great and no drone.

 

yeah sounds pretty good. I know he replaced his Vibrant, so I'm thinking thats the cause and i might do the same.. wonder how a Borla and Aero will sound. the Aero is straight through..

 

roll the dice brother

 

thats all i can really do..

im leaning towards replacing the vibrant first.. see how it sounds.. then go from there. i can always add another muffler, maybe even another borla, in place of the aero.

 

Matt and I wondered how a dual borla would sound

 

Burns Stainless has very good sounding mufflers as well. Initially expensive, but the positive side is that they a re-packable, unlike every other packed muffler which is one and done. Except for Aeroturbine, which has no packing.

Again, not cheap. www.burnsstainless.com

 

I think this is my biggest issue.. which is why im on the fence about which one to replace with the Borla..

the vibrant, or the aero.

 

Chunk the vibrant. Cheap, and pretty much Chinese. Unless something has changed. Nice Chinese, but still.

 

Gonna start with replacing the Vibrant.. after taking measurements and seeing if the Borla will fit that is. Then go from there.. possibly another Borla in place of the Aero.

Also sent an email to IPT explaining the whole situation. Waiting for a reply.

 

ok, so got a reply from John at IPT. he essentially said the valve body should have no affect on the torque converter, the rest of the modifications definitely will.. which.. I knew that... i just didn't think I would run into worn parts this quickly, plus the fact i haven't heard about anyone else having issues.

so.. new/better torque converter?

 

If there is an upgrade to your torque converter, it will be worth it. Just don't raise the stall limit.

 

That's what I'm thinking too. Just don't know where to start looking for one. And good to know, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks Tor.

 

hey man! maybe I'll see ya tis weekend at homeboys house.
