67eleanorgt500 Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks, the difference is slight. The rear wheels on these cars are set in really far. So just bumping it out 5/16 makes it look a little better. What brand and type of spacers did you get for your cutlass? Do you know of a place where I can find them? Quote
94 olds vert Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Posted June 11, 2011 I'm not sure of the brand. These used to be on a friends mustang. I think Dorman makes 5/16 in spacer that should fit w-body cars. Try looking at auto zone. Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 UHG...One side down one to go. New stuff!!1 Old crap. And done! Quote
MemphisMan Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 Lot's of people are doing this now seems like. Nice work. How much time does it take to do a side? Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) Thanks, I'm glad I finally did this. It really makes the car look nice. I too have noticed a lot of people doing this. Since I had the parts just laying around I decided to put them on. The first side took me a good 45 minutes to do. I needed to run up to the parts store. I was done with the other side in 25 minutes. Since I knew what I was doing. The other side turned out just as good. Edited July 9, 2011 by 94 olds vert Quote
95cutlass Posted July 11, 2011 Report Posted July 11, 2011 Looks good! It's amazing how something so simple can drastically change the appearance:thumbsup: Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Posted July 21, 2011 New mufflers and tips. Magnaflow 12215 mufflers. Tips are C6 corvette tips. [video=youtube;wQ7kvBuW6ic] Quote
MemphisMan Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 man that sounds great! Looks cool too. Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Posted July 21, 2011 Thanks! I really do love these tips. Ever since Jake did it. I've been wanting too. Glad I did. I heard these mufflers get louder after 500 miles or so. Already they sound good right now. Quote
95cutlass Posted July 21, 2011 Report Posted July 21, 2011 Wow the car looks and sounds amazing with the new mufflers and tips. It really changes the sound of the car. Just wait till you reach the 500 miles then:thumbsup: Quote

Just wait till you reach the 500 miles then:thumbsup: Thanks! I agree this does affect the exhaust note a lot. Yeah, might take me a while to reach that point. Owned this car for 2 years still haven't put 5k on it. Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 21, 2011 Author Report Posted July 21, 2011 Quick drive around the block. [video=youtube;r71qI0PWCEg] Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 3 things: fucking wind noise fucking power steering pump that sounds like a setup that needs to be heard in person to truly appreciate it. sounds like the mic couldn't capture some lower frequency tones. Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 Tomorrow I'll have to put the top up and try again. Then not use my Iphone. Got a really good video camera that I should of used. It does sound deeper in person than in the videos. At least the power steering works. Not sure why it whines. Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 It does sound deeper in person than in the videos. i assumed as much. BTW, how the hell are you keeping whatever recording device you choose to stay where it is? Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 You mean the driving around videos? Quote
Euro Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 I think it sounds nice. Is there fluid in the ps reservoir? Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 I think it sounds nice. Is there fluid in the ps reservoir? Thanks! Yup. This is about the 5th or 6th pump I've put in. All other haven't work. This is the first one that's worked. I got it out of a wrecked GTP. Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 You mean the driving around videos? no, i want to know how you keep it still on the ground. of course the driving vids! straps, velcro, voodoo? Quote
Euro Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Maybe stick it in between the seat and headrest Quote
94 olds vert Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Posted July 22, 2011 no, i want to know how you keep it still on the ground. of course the driving vids! straps, velcro, voodoo? Oh yeah pretty much voodoo. Well, it's complicated. First step lift up head rest. Second step insert recording device. Third step put headrest back down. Then record when ready. Quote
RobertISaar Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 hmm..... i may need to try this sometime. not sure how well my camera would respond to it, since the mic is on the topside. TO THE LAB! Quote
Euro Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Fuck a Go-Pro if you've got an extending headrest Quote
95cutlass Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Regardless, the car definently sounds more throaty. Not so much like a V-6 now Quote
