Default Hey & problems

whats up guys, got the comp back but im restoring everything but im busy and start summer classes monday and need to get a new internet service provider so with all that i should be up and running within a week or so..right now im on break at work....

now, problems/thoughts

finally got a chance to take the truck in to have the TSBs serviced, its being done right now. also, since i have been out of school (also prettymuch out of contact with you guys) my wheels have started rubbing on turns. that is being serviced right now as well. really, got to be the shocks or coils.....i heard the guy in the back mumble, we can just pull the wheel well fender back....now, when i pick up my truck later today, if thats what the report says, im gunna get assistance and get it done right. now, am i right, it has to be the coils or shocks because ive looked and the wheel well fender is not sagging at all, and i dont want a half *** job the 10 year old next door could have done.


also, i am getting exhaust soon, i really want to be kinda different...i know the exhaust set up i want, and the muffler shop told me i could get the most flow believe it or not out of one pipe....is this true? i toe a lot of crap and so i dont want it comin out below the bumper, im just havin it come out at the stock location like scottsdan (if i remembercorrectly)....i just need to decide on the tips because i know i do want duel tips...i see magniflows all the time, and being around firebirds camaros vettes ect ect a lot i see a lot of corsa exhausts. but i never see them on trucks....what do u guys think about corsa duel tips? ofcourse it would be 2 tips and not 4

btw, the pic is from a C5 vette, and that paticular corsa set up is $1500[8D]

Look again. Mine is doing that exact thing on the right front wheel. I had the dealership look at it and they couldn't believe it, but the wheel well is bent inward a little bit. The way to fix that would be to either take it out and replace it or take a heat gun and go to town.

I've heard the same thing about the single out, but I don't believe it. You can lose a lot of torque if you make them too big a pipes.

No I didn't.........J/K

I think those tips would be too much for the back of the truck. They look nice, but you never know until you try it. I could be wrong since I haven't see that on the back of a Dakota, or any other truck.

personnaly i am happy with my single 3 inch catback. the low end grunt off the line is great and you want grunt when you are towing. if you want horse power and plan on racing the truck at the track every now and then go with the si/do but for towing you will see some trouble getting up and going. its basically the same exhaust coming out of a single pipe or two pipes. the engine is only going to exhale so much and a single point a to b would be the quickest for the exhale.

Yeah I have a 2.5 Single too, I wouldn't go as high as a 3 but I really wish I had done a 2 3/4... as far as the corsa tips... I'm undecided, I kinda like the look of a single side dump tip...so IDK... I like those tips though... good luck on deciding and post pics when you done... also welcome back!
