Re: 99 GTP...halfsie wiring tuckage, IC/Gen V on
The end caps are rusted off of the magnaflow res its hardly worth scrap. Ive re welded them back on twice now. I was planning on getting a MBRP 30" resonator with a 3" in/3" out and run most the way down the center of the car from the down pipe back getting rid of the magnaflow res then adapt to the 2.5" piping further back. Then I rode in a car with a ZZP 3" catback that had a 30" res on it and it was the loudest miserable POS ever. My car is not even all that loud I just wanted it to be a little more stealth and 0 drone for those 1000mile road trips.

Pulled the trans out AGAIN! lol....going on a 2000 mile road trip figured I would go through, refresh a few things. Some people change their oil before a road trip, I rebuild my transmission. That GTP life...

Its getting a fresh stock convertor this time, mine has 30k miles on it. Its getting another fresh chain just because. This one only had 12 or 13k on it but I dont really ever tear it apart and NOT change the chain. This time I am also doing a mechanical diode input/3rd sprag. I was still using the original 99 one in this trans and the elements were falling out of it when I popped it apart. Ive been meaning to do that upgrade. I wanted to do the Sonnax billet 3rd piston but my 12 plate 3rd stackup still looks like new and Dacco didnt have one on the shelf so thats not going to happen this time around. Ill explain the rest with pictures.
The raybestos blue 2nd gear clutches were not so fresh. I even have 7 in 2nd now and they still got toasty. Trying the Borg warner hi energy plates this time around.

The input clutches were still working some how but they were torched, This is the one clutch set that I dont think would have made the 2000 mile trip. These didnt have much life left in them. These were 4 raybestos blues and 1 standard, another custom experimental thing. I was trying to get 5 clutches in the input pack but I only had 4 blues. I used the one stocker to take up the clearance and some how it is the only one that isnt black. I think TEP dave was dead-on when he said these raybestos clutches drag and burn up. They dont even make raybestos HD plates that work with the diode sprag so we will see how it works out with 5 03-up stock style plates.
