What all do you have on your exhaust? I know you've got Pacesetters, but what else? Cats or no cats?

Edit: I forgot you had Corsa too and no cats!

Thumbs up

Have my www.usspeedo.com gauge cluster on the way!!
Paid a lot, but it will look gooooood when it's installed.
Has stainless steel face plate with blue lettering & numbers. The highs & lows are backed with red lettering & numbers.
Has s. steel looking middle sections on the needles with lighted blue tips.
Has the tranny temp gauge
Also has the escalade chrome rings around each gauge. But it's not the escalade styled numbers.
They then programmed it to my mileage & engine hrs before it left their shop.
Can't wait to get it!

Jim

I would think that about right. My Crew cab weighed about 4950 pounds with half tank of gas and me in it. That was after the weight reduction.

I need to find out what my new project weighs. I imagine it ain't light either.
