General Buick Tech / High Flow Cat

« on: April 15 2011, 10:32:52 PM »

I had trouble finding the flange so I bought a cat from Kirban.
If you have a test pipe you have a flange that you can use, maybe buy a 3" cat and adapters. When you eventually get a 3 " downpipe and bigger exhaust just reuse?

That would be my plan, reuse it and the 3" Exhaust comes with next years income tax money....... Still Trying to splurge for the Alky Kit.....

Ok, Just replaced the stock Muffler with a Walker quiet flow muffler and also running a Full Throttle Test pipe. And now brought to my attention, Davidson County In Nashville has Emissions Testing, so my car won't past without a cat. Any suggestions for a High Flow cat That I could buy and pass emissions with???

Story of my life, More money money taking away from my alky kit.....

General Buick Tech / Vacuum Block

« on: April 11 2011, 11:00:44 PM »

It's the easiest way to get a strong vacuum signal.source. I suppose you could tap into the manifold somewhere else.

It is a spot than can easily leak, you are correct. You can get a new bock and still use the powermaster, you would just have to cap it off.

Just figured with the Vacuum Block, I'd have one less thing to worry about in the long run....

So when I do the Vacuum brake upgrade, I should get a Vacuum block? Just seen it in "Knowledge Base Articles, Submissions, and Comments " Figured it'd be an easy way not to worry about Vacuum leaks is all...........

Decided to go ahead and Order the Walker 22395 today,  can't beat the price $90.00 plus a $30.00 mail in rebate. My Discount at Advance didn't even come close, hats off to Rock Auto. And still seriously  Alky this summer also...... New Exhaust system will wait until Next years income tax........

Women should not work in parts stores, all they do is get the part the computer tells them too........ If they looked at them, they wouldn't know the difference from a tie rod or a balljoint..... ..
  

And yes I was thinking Alky Next.......... .

the one thing that should be mentioned, if not done so already, is that the factory system is 2.25" and somewhat restrictive... .the exhaust is usually one of the first things to be suggested to be replaced as it will allow the car to make more power and spool faster.

I've heard guys running 11's with stock exhaust, this is why I'm sticking with stock for now. I'm just looking for a Quick street car is all, after all i'm 43 I don't feel the need tobe the fastest anylonger. Just a nice quick car, Here is what I've had done so far.

73k on car.
Kirbin Springs
New Timing Chain Set
Rebuilt High Pressure Oil Pump
42lbs injectors
fuel pressure Regulator set to 42lbs
FT Extender Chip-set for 20lbs of boost 93octane
3'' MAF & Translator
Scanmaster
CAI
Walbro 340 pump and Hot Wire kit.
Running colder plugs, onestep down
New wires also...
Along with new paint,Brakes, and all fulids......
What would you do for the Next step?

But those aren't stock location x mufflers?
Or has the criteria changed?

You are correct, I need one that will fit in the stock location...... . Guess I'll take some measurements tomorrow....

I believe this is the right one, but you need to check the length of the current muffs as well as the pipe size.

d=744882" class="bbc_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://www.jegs.com/i/Dynomax/289/17283/10002/-1?parentProductI d=744882

this version is 14" body with 2.5" pipes

same with looking up the magnaflows...n eed to know the body length as well as the pipe sizes

all the ones I mentioned above are basically the same design.
