Seems obnoxiously loud... Just my style :cool:
Yeah, same here. I hope it's not too obnoxious to the point where i get pulled over. I drove it the past 3 years with no doors (and no mirrors) with decently loud exhaust and never got a ticket.

Not at all yet, still waiting for a custom driveshaft. Im hoping to have it by Saturday.

Before this engine I had an sr20det in there, about 225hp/205lbft and it held up fine. This engine has 255/252 so im hoping it holds up the same.

FINALLY got the call that my driveshaft is ready. Hopefully going to pick that up tomorrow. I also had them make one for my 93 project so maybe ill get ambitious here and try and get more done on that one now.

Sooooo few updates. I decided that it was silly having two trucks on the road. The blue one was supposed to be for the wife, but she barely drove it, so I sold it yesterday. Today, i found this, a 98 Grand Prix. I think it will make a great winter beater. Sold the truck for 1200 and got this for 450 so the difference pays for my driveshafts : D I think ill put this on the road instead of the sidekick since its not too far from the end of the season. If there's a nice day i want to drive it, ill grab a plate from work.

Here's a quick crappy vid of the Sidekick driving. The exhaust is SUPER annoying even to my standards, so ill be putting mufflers on. I think 0-60 is about 5 seconds, I just downloaded one of those apps to test it, ill have to try it next time I drive it. The Speedo is off, I think 60 shows up at about 72 so kind of hard to tell.

So i picked this up for a buddy yesterday. He wants to build up an ls for his truck, and I'm trying to help him do it cheap. This is a 2000 5.3 auto. Last winter the guy lost control and went into a ditch and flipped it straight over. A few weeks before, he had spent $2400 on a trans and transfer case rebuild. Got the whole truck with plow for $500.
