Also, he was eyeballing that exhaust more than Dad. How LOUD is it? :D

Hey she wanted to help... who was I to stop her... I let her have a couple drinks from her sippy cup when she looked tired....

Haven't been able to shoot a vid.... shooting for tomorrow.

I was told 12, but you might be right. I think they were exaggerating a wee bit.:D

Well with all the timing retard I was getting from my exhaust bumping on my tunnel brace...

My $4.00 washers got me like 40 RWHP.. beat that..

I'm headed to the same dealer Speedster bought his camaro from....

I've told them the whole deal on my car, and they seem to be cool with doing non powertrain warranty repairs..

I have a lug nut that's probably cross threaded and I need a new PDIM...

so we'll see if they give me the runaround when I get there.

Hoping for the best.

Well so far I'm unimpressed...

The service manager is not up to speed on the more "technical" stuff...

The technician basically is giving me the "not compatible with 4th generation apple products...."

so I explained the the service manager that Tis2web shows the part numbers and so on...

Not sure he followed so I gave him all the part and version numbers over the phone....

He said he'd have the tech check em out... so we'll see.

PQ 01-10-2011 05:03 PM

I've noticed that GM dealers are very inconsistant as far as how they process info and their knowlege of their own stuff.

Lexus is the best I've EVER dealt with. They are all on the same page and their system is all integrated with one onother. You go to one dealer, and they have ALL the history and info on you car in EVERY dealer. Plus they are all the same knowlegewise.

IMO, Chevy needs to work on this big time.

GTA:
I have a 3rd gen ipod with video (aka "ipod classic" type) which is supposed to be the most compatible with the PDIM and I had problems with it (the system would sporadically not detect my ipod was connected). I had to have a new PDIM installed about 6 weeks after I bought my car which resolved the problem. It has been a pretty common issue. Good luck.

Bummer. I hope they figure it out. I know they are not Apple weenies, but they should have real time GM service information for "advanced" electronics.

Mr. Wyndham 01-10-2011 10:46 PM

You have to feel for these guys a little, bit....it's only been two years and they keep getting these new-age updates and upgrades and 'just in case' TSBs.....It's hard to keep track of it all like it used to be. (And that's not to mention most of them are on the older side....)

TAG UR IT 01-11-2011 01:30 AM

Chris, did you get the part number that Cheryl said is now being used? I got my dealer to order it for me. I now have the new part number and my software is DB DB. It has worked perfectly each time I've turned on teh car...and holy crap does it NOT lose it's place! It picks up right where it left off. I LOVE IT. Give them that part number. If they refuse to order it, tell them the issue is not resolved and the problem persists. Show them. There is absolutely NO reason why we should have to suffer with crappy parts and problems when they are legit fixes that have been shown. Just because there is no TSB or whatever doesn't mean they can leave it.

That ticked me off with one of the guys at my dealer, but they did it! It's fixed!

Mine has worked flawlessly since I got the new PDIM. My version is DB DB. It is the part number Cheryl gave out. I posted that for you, right? If you want me to take pix so you can screen capture it and show it to your dealer, I'm happy to help. I just wish GM would call it already and TSB it.

I'll let you know.

OK Finally shot some quick video of the 2.5" straight through mufflers.

Like I said before they are LOUD :D probably too loud.

If I was 27 I'd leav'em... but at 37.... not so much.

Here's some pics and vids showing the difference.


The 3" Chambered I originally had on the car.

Exhaust clip.



Take off and Fly By.



The 2.5" Straight Through I just put on.

http://www.stainlessworks.net/cart/i...ubeMuffler.jpg



They sound great but with 25 mile highway trip every day... that drone is brutal..

But they sound BAD @$$ :headbang:

PQ 01-14-2011 03:57 PM

gonna have to go with PQ on this one.....


LOUD = GOOD

Quiet = Wuss:laughabove:

Darth_Emma 01-14-2011 04:05 PM

I say go back to the first one. I guess I'm too old.

I have the Borla Touring and it's just right. So that gives you some perspective.

Loud is one thing, drone, something completely different.... I was going to have the Helmholtz chambers done, but my builder said to wait as I am getting a magna flow three inch system and the turbos will slice and dice the sound waves into a thousand bits of noise and will pretty much eliminate any drone..
