Whoa nelly! New Kooks/4.10s/Addcos/Metcos Yay Reinhart!

[Marauder.45]

Holy S!! Installed last Friday night, late. She handles like a porsche. The front swaybar makes a little creaking noise, hopefully it will work itself out.:burn:

Took 3 tunes to get the shift points right, with the new gears. Tires break out from go now. Power is readily available at cruising speed. Hold on to the steering wheel pull and shifts are banging.:burnout:

Metcos make a definite rear-end difference. You can definitely feel it.

Kooks headers with hi-flow cats, x-pipe and magnaflow mufflers, LOUD. I like loud, but they are LOUD. And raspy. Will get accostomed to it:banana:

Haven't been able to make a pass yet, so I don't know the final results.

The cons, got up to 120 and noticed the vibration in the rear. Guess I need to upgrade the driveshaft now. :shake: Also noticed increased vibration in the cabin. Very slight, but I now have to find a very subtle plastic rattle in the dash somewhere. Also noticed a change in the motor tone at stoplights, at first I thought it was the compressor for the air ride. Nope. More like stress on the motor, maybe just different tone from the headers.

Reinhart is the best. +1 for Dennis and Debbie.

My sway bar did not make any creaking noise, even after 5k it still does not, what was it lubed with?

Enjoy the new found power in a straight line and around a corner!

After I had my Timing and A/F adjusted, the engine sounded completely different then it did stock.

Front Creaking.....Hood Latch!!:argue:

Go slow down a bumpy road and listen for the creaking.....pull hood release and I'll bet it's gone!!?? A little grease and you're good until next oil change??:beer:

Congrats on your new found power, must be like a brand new Marauder all over again!

An increase in engine bay noise comes with the territory of headers vs. manifolds. You have replaced thick cast iron with thinner stainless steel, the insulation factors are completely opposite.

If you have squeaky suspension bits, that's not going to go away until you turn up the radio. Poly bushings need lube, check your Metco CAs too, that's why they have grease fittings.

Could be the infamous hood stops. Put a piece of felt on 'em.

Congrats!

She's like new all over again, nothing like getting some strange:cool4:

And my sentiments exactly. Radio to 20 and I can't hear a thing from the front:banana2:
