Yeah silver looks good. Ill prob go with that. Its easy to switch colors for it anyways but that looks gooood

Leave black to guys like me

So I ordered sd headers AGAIN today and some lowering springs, texted my dad n we have a spring compressor at his house so that's a plus! Still waiting of even a response from ssac about them headers n my refund! Lol so HOPEFULLY 3rd times a charm! My wheels come tomorrow so I will def get some pics up! Then Thursday or Friday ill go tire shopping! I'd like to get the springs and tires on all at once so ima prob wait for the springs and its just starting to be in upper 30s lower 40s up here in MI. N then Friday my new spo grilles will be here. So my one question is..subframe bushings are https://secure.gmpartsdirect.com/secure/signIn.2.cfm ..here. So for 4 of them I'd spend 36.50. Are these single packed or two in a pack? N then zzp has em for $15 for two so $30+ $10 shipped, I'd rather have them. Unless I'm missing something with the subframe bushings or there's a better place to order. I thought they were cheaper than that according to what everyone says. Thanks, n pics will be up when I get stuff!

You really want headers ehh. Lol. Yup just a heads up getting the rear in is a pain in the dick lol. Put mine back on today and man I don't want to have to do that again.

Lol honestly I just want them before they keep jacking prices up. Sd I just paid 220 on the 12th of last month n that fell thru. Now they're to buy it now at 267. Ssac just raised their price from 225 to 250 within the last week. I want em before they go up to 300 lol. So ima be patient n wait it out. I see on ebay more of em keep getting sold. Shoulda waited the first time for the 220, but I didn't know they'd be this difficult. N yeah ik I hear stories about that rear. My dad knows what he's doing n I'm just the laborer pretty much. Ima be getting my hands dirty tho so I can relate to everyone else more n know what I'm talking about lol.

Yea I thought about selling them at one point since they been sitting in my garage for like the last 9 months. Then seen all the issues they are having shipping them out and then jacking up the price. Could of used the cash to finish the build but no way in hell I'm paying more then the $200 I got the for last year. I get they realized that they were selling like hot cakes and capitalized on it. Really is sad if you ask me. Ill wait till you come back on here and confirm that the rear is a pain lol. But used BillBoost write up to speed things up.

Lol yeah I have all of his stuff bookmarked on my ipad and phone haha. N it's crazy in just a short period of time how they have gone up. But they go quick so why not? They're still prob selling them just as quick n when they jack it up to where they aren't, they'll just keep it at the highest to where it was. Lol but I also wanna get rid of that unbend so I have intrigues write up as well as a few others I found. So idk if ill make a jig or just take it to exhausts shop n get it hacked to work for a lil. I need the zzp flex I have welded in anyways so ill have to figure that out.

Amazing jig about it is they stayed at $220ish for over a year. When they original made them they didn't fit for **** without having to basically add and rewelded it. I had a original set and after so many other guys were having issues sent them back for a refund. I wanted to have the ubend removed but every shot I went to couldn't understand the concept of the jig and what I was trying to accomplished and wanted to charge me out the ass so I just decided Ill deal with it for the time being. Same issues with the flex I had a Zzp one to go on. Exhaust shop said can weld it on but I can't guarantee it'll be straight. Looked at him and questioned how much he really knew and left. Only time will tell hopefully flex won't fail on me for awhile.

Lol how can they not guarantee the flex won't stay on? They weld for a living..lol n it looks easy to make the jig, just a few pieces of wood. I was thinking to make it then bring it there n make sure it's somewhat close to fitting it perfect after rewelded. If its a pain around me too then ill have have to deal with it too I guess. I don't even have em yet n don't know if I will get em so ill decide when they get here lol. Done getting my hopes up.

Good question lol. I said to the guy how can you not guarantee it will be straight don't you weld for living after all you work in a exhaust shop am I asking you to do to much? He had a dumb stare. No problem saving myself money and leaving.

Did you end up finding a place to put the new one on n what they charge about?

Nope I gave up lol. The only actually fm good exhaust shop around here closed down so I'm just gonna keep the single walled for now and hope it doesn't give out anytime soon. After all a bunch of guys have success with them without changing the flex so I hope odds are in my favor. I did have a buddy that does cable install and has a coworker that's a hell of a welder that said he can do it for $25 just dk if I want to pull the rear header off again.

Haha I bet I hear ya. I have some friends who weld or my brother has a dude that his shop used to use n they chopped out my montes resonator n straight piped it for 20$

Now you have my thinking if I should go ahead and pull it off and have him do it hmmm

Lol well it was a friend of my brother..idk how much itd be tho for sure, shouldn't be much tho. just chop that off n a quick fat bead for the new one. I paid $40 for a new zzp flex so might as well put it on since I already have it haha.

Oh I meant the guy my buddy works with lol. I'm a ways away from where you are.

Just drive it n see if it ticks. N if it doesn't screw it lol. If it does n you cant stand it then loom into it more.
