Default Re: Next Years Power Tour Car Part 2

I finished the exhaust system and got another Education on Welding.......I finally got the wire feed and voltage dialed in on the last weld........Typical..........But.....In building the other LS powered cars I always seemed to have issues with the "Rappy" sound out the exhaust pipes and ended up changing mufflers a couple times to get away from it..........I think the length of the tail pipes have something to do with it........But.......On this car I bought Dynomax #17749 super turbo mufflers and brought the tail pipes out behind the rear tires........so ....when I started it I didn't know what to expect.........I wanted the quietist performance Muffler I could find...........so.....When I started it........I was very pleasantly surprised at how you could hear the exhaust.....but yet how quiet it was........Perfect!!!........Going down to Stefano at Nickey next week to get the rough edges blended together in the ECM............When I started the build I had the complete ZL1 harness assy........But......because I decided not to use the 6L90E trans we couldn't use the ZL1 harness ........John at Speartech supplied a ECM set up to work with the engine and the 4L70E trans......but....It needed to dialed in to blend everything together......so......Stefano and Cory are going to put the final piece of the puzzle in place.............Then it's going to Frame-Up to get the A/C system charged......83 days till Power Tour.......

Ken,
Tenneco/Walker, manufacturers of DynoMax exhaust components, is thankfully one of the few American companies one can truly rely upon for quality parts &amp; service. I can personally attest to their integrity as I've used their 17375 cat-back system on my '95 LT1 Caprice 9C1(now 283,000 miles) since 2001. They've honored replacing their lifetime-warrantied mufflers no less than 7 times, paying shipping as well. It has been my sincere privilege having done business w/such a reputable U. S. company, these past 12 years. I believe Darlene was the very cordial associate w/whom I dealt. A more competent young lady one would be hard-pressed to encounter in today's I-could-care-less business clime. A very professional &amp; astute PR representative of whom Tenneco/Walker should be very proud to have in their employ.

'67 SS bud...
