    Decisions with priority

    Thanks for the advice! I will start the exhaust project first-

    Decisions with priority

    OK- Bad exhaust leak at both exhaust manifolds and pass side flange to crossover pipe. Bad enough to affect a 5-min ride inside the cab. Also, need new tires. Old tires still have tread left, but not enough to pass inspection come November though. On the plate: Long tube headers, dual exhaust...

    Exhaust sound

    I don't like the "Cackity-Cack, Cack", Glass-Pack sound on a vehicle nor do I want total quiet- I love a muffler with a low "Rumble" and "Hollow" sounding deep tone. Give me some ideas and if you have some audio clips, post them with brief description of the exhaust set up- Curious to know. Thks

    Headers

    Today, I noticed that the exhaust leak seems to be primarily coming from the flange area where it connects to the crossover pipe. While I was underneath the vehicle though, it occurred to me that the 4 wheel drive stuff is inside the frame-well where the cat-muffler-exhaust would normally route...

    Headers

    So in my case, what ya'll are giving me the impression is that I wouldn't be benefitting much by using performance style headers and that I would probably be just as well off using either custom exhaust manifolds to upgrade to duals or a less expensive set of headers compatible with the stock...

    Headers

    So these headers would probably be best application? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HOK-2453HKR/

    Headers

    Not sure I quite understand that statement. Please clarify for me-

    Headers

    My specs are: 88' V10, 350 ci TBI, 700R4, G. Ratio unknown, but basically stock all around 1/2 ton w/tow package. I am not looking for serious performance, but needed upgrades because of exhaust replacement due to age and corrosion. I have a noticeable exhaust least on the stock manifold on the...

    Headers

    How well did they perform on your 91' and what differences are you seeing with the super comp?

    Headers

    I am looking at headers for my vehicle as well. This thread is important to me. In comparison to the competition set that was mentioned, how much different and compatible are these?: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-69090/.

    Virginia height restrictions

    I'll probably do it anyways- I am still going to provoke an upgrade or change in law via political influence. Would like to see if I have the power!

    Virginia height restrictions

    Ladysmith, Va. just south of Fredericksburg. Haven't made up my mind on exactly how high yet. I have seen some combination body-suspension lifts on this model that total out around 12" of lift that look really nice, but I may be satisfied with a simple 6" suspension lift. I originally wanted to...

    Virginia height restrictions

    Only reason I am making an issue with it: another local with around the same year model Blazer version has already been pulled over, harassed and cited for height restrictions' violations. With that being stated, I feel very certain than my local law enforcement are very well educated on this issue.

    Virginia height restrictions

    Another note: Virginia defines pickup truck or panel truck as every motor vehicle designed for the transportation of property and having a registered GVWR of 7,500lbs or less. According to Edmonds, the suburban was originally designed for commercial use and then evolved to accommodate passenger...
