Re: 2004 GXP Headgasket Job

Alright so I started the drilling/tapping/and putting the timeserts in process yesterday. I got the left side of the block all finished. It's not that hard of a process, it's just time consuming.

So far I dropped the cradle and motor and removed the heads

Mufflers

So I'm thinking about getting the flowmaster super 10s - the flowmaster super 40 delta flows are louder, but id like it to sound meaner. I was wondering if there would be any difference of running a one single in/dual out muffler with two pipes running out the back and running two actual mufflers?

Re: Head unit install question

Re: Head unit install question

The sound that my stereo is making is a really loud screeching type sound that is not affected by how loud or soft i turn the volume-it is always loud and it comes out of only the front left and rear door speakers. I tried different grounds to no success. :banghead: maybe it has something to do with ...

Re: Head unit install question

good news and bad - good- the new head unit powers on and makes sound. Bad- there is a high pitch static in the front left and the small rear door speakers...i tried rewiring the front left speaker wires and got the same result. I do have an antenna adapter which is hooked up so it dont think it is ...

Re: Head unit install question

Yeah I hooked it all up with the old interface and the head unit lights up and everything but no sound. If I turn the volume all the way up I can just barely hear sound if I put my ear to the speaker. I'm now wondering if its a problem with wiring or if its the interface that doesn't work..
