Ok Guys, As I ever so slowly fab up my 4" SS exhaust, I have run into the question of how you guys have made your vertical penetration into the box. The way I see it, you have to cut a frame crossmember and a cross girt on the box itself. I know that I can run the exhaust up without cutting...

Hey guys- changed the oil in the 5-speed this last weekend (used synthetic 5w-30) added extra quart as recommended. Haven't had much of a chance to drive it since then-but what little I have I noticed the shifter seems to grab/catch in 3rd & 4th when shifting up through the gears. Does not...

skobylenski- yes I am in the process of making a 4" downpipe. Cost I am not certain of yet - as my original will be fabbed from 4" ss pipe(future downpipes will be fabbed from 4" ss tube). nascar mark- have you seen a downpipe fabbed out of stainless?the hardest part is fabbing the stainless...

hey guys, I really appreciate the input and the enthusiasm! I will be working diligently on this design-one drawback is that my truck will be out of commision while R&D is in progress:( thanks again, jeff

Ok - Now i might be confused - ( with that being said I must explain that i am a pipefitter and have experience dealing with pumps and blower type arrangements which tend to have certain requirements as to distance of first fitting off face of flange/opening - thus to alleviate downstream...

Wondered if any of you guys know if there is a predetermined distance that is required between exhaust housing outlet(stock sizing) and first 90 in the downpipe. I have determined how to attach to the exhaust housing and blow up immediately to the 4" stainless pipe i am fabricating new exhaust...

Hey guys, Thanks for the warm welcome! I didn't mean to confuse anybody with my STAGE nomenclature- I thought maybe someone had compiled all the different mods into a list from cheap to insane. I see guys ask how to gain horsepower and thought it doesnt make sense to tell them to do something...

Hi guys, First time to post-have really enjoyed reading all of the threads. I have found it to be the best source of info for us 1st gen. guys. One question to start off with. I have searched and not found a post containing a breakdown of mods for our trucks--- such as STAGE 1 - STAGE 2 -...
