I too have the Borlas on my LT4, and there is the dreaded resonance at cruise. I am wondering about what it would sound like if I remove the resonator. I would like it a little louder outside, the Borlas are too quiet at lower rpms. If I can do it without it getting louder inside.

Mirror Compass.. My 2000 Chevy truck has one built into the rear view mirror from the factory. You could probably get one from a salvage yard and install it easily. If the glass is the same shape, you may be able to fit it into the stock housing so you retain the map lights and the little...

I have considered this mod for some time. Sounds easy enough to do and will give the opportunity to replace the brake fluid with fresh stuff.

I have a question about dash pad care. The problem I have is that the edge of the pad around the windshield vents in the center is starting to curl upward. Is there a way that I can get it back straight like it should be, or at least stop it from curling further? I have read here about using...

If they are stock rotors, it should be stamped or cast into the rotor somewhere what min thickness is. Most auto supplies that turn rotors will also look it up before they turn them for you.

Mine are the same way. Some times they work properly, most of the time not. When I asked about it, the replies I got were that the unit probably needed to be removed, taken apart, and clean the contacts. It may need to just be replaced but to start with cleaning it. I have not been...

Thanks for the info. I may try straight pipes from the resonator back since it is pretty cheap. I am also considering getting some pipe and extending the existing tips about 3-4 inches to see if that has any effect. Both fairly cheap trial-and-error projects.

When running straight pipes in place of the mufflers, does that eliminate the resonance when cruising under 2k rpm in high gear? I have Borla mufflers and they sound good, but resonance kills any chance of having a conversation cruising on the highway.

Welcome Krash! I too recently purchased an LT4 and enjoy it every time I drive it. There are two Corvette clubs in the area that I know of. One is Lone Star Corvettes out of Plano - their activities span the metroplex, and Cowtown Corvettes out of Fort Worth. Both have websites, so check...

Bueller, Bueller, anybody? Any help on this one?

Well, my solution this weekend was to use my hand vacuum pump. It has a container for when you use it to bleed brakes. Just attached it, a long hose, and sucked it out quick and easy.

I tested with the key on, trans in reverse, engine off. I have checked bulbs, fuse in box on pass side of dash, and transmission connector. I did not unplug the trans connector because it is too diffuclt to reach, but it is fully seated. There are two connectors on the driver's side of the...

I have about 25 cars so far and my wife was complaining about them taking space under the bed, in the closet, etc. all in the boxes. She found a TV stand that is about 6ft long and 24" wide, and 3ft tall with clear glass sliding doors. I tossed the wood shelves that came with it and installed...

I'm partial to white.......

Doesn't an 80 mph trip around the block work the same as a leaf blower?

When I wash my car, I have water that is not draining away from the hatch area on the driver's side corner, next to the door. There is a small amount in the same area on the pass side. Is there a drain hole on the sides of the hatch that may be plugged up? I have looked around a bit, but have...

Yes. With the car jacked up enough to raise the tire off the ground, I could grab the wheel and move it left to right, just like checking tie rod ends on the front tires. Had a helper do it while I looked from under the car, and you could easily see the movement in the tie rod end.

I finally replaced the left rear tie rod end last night. I was anticipating having to drive the tie rod out of the spindle like you have to for the front. When I removed the cotter pin and loosened the nut, a light tap from a hammer popped it out. Took very little time to do. I made sure the...

The trans works fine, just curious if the trans had been replaced by the dealer. I will take the VIN to the dealer and find out how much info they have on the car.

I have a similar problem on my '96. When you get on the gas hard while cruising above 40 mph, it shifts to the right. When you let off the gas quickly, it shifts to the left. Problem is the left side tie rod end used to adjust toe. Replacement part is on order so it will soon be resolved.
