New guy
Hi all. Wanted to drop in and sign up. HI ALL! My name is Tony and i live in PA. I own a sign and decal shop "www.decaldriven.com" and am also going back to school for my teaching degree. I just got a Silverado SS and wanted to get into a good forum. I am not new to the "SS" family. I have had a 06 MonteCarlo SS, 07 Trailblazer SS, and now my 04 Silverado SS. Traded a 08 Mustang GT since i needed something to raise a family in. Getting married in spring of 2010 and had to grow up some. She wants kids soon after the wedding so i had to get on the ball. lol.. Got a screamin deal on the SS, payment went down like $100 and the insurance will go WAY down. I am NOT a ford guy and have no idea why i got one of those. I really love the truck and waste no time to get into mods. The 4 doors are great and it is LOADED with everything option you can get. I have many questions and i know you guys will know the anwsers right off the bat. "God i love forums". again, sorry for the load of questions, but here they are.....
- There was a Bullet Exhaust on the truck when i got it, dual rear exit. Any good? not that loud tho.. I am thinking of side exit exhaust, in front of the rear wheels, both sides. Anyone make these? or is it a custom install?? pics??
- I am really leaning towards the "murdered out" look. I did this to my M109R and love it. My wheels will need some paint or powder coat. I know there are many that have done this. What is the best way?? I painted the rims on my bike. satin black. so far they have worked out.
- There is a K&N in the stock airbox, and that will be tore off. What is a good "Cheaper" CAI? not much $$ to throw around right now. I will do all or most of the mods myself. Making custom parts is all the fun.
- my MPG right now is 16 average. Tuners always help, what is a good one for the SS V8?? Tho right now i have a heavy right foot. miss burnouts tho, love AWD, but not as much fun..
Ya ya yaaa. I know, i have a ton of questions and some of you guys will be like.. search is your friend.. lol.. sorry about that. But wanted to get it all in one post. I am going to design up some stripes. Don't know if i want hockey stripes or 12" racing stripes with accent pinstripes. Either one will most likely be flat black or some other very "low Key" color. I like the ghosted look. I am thinking flat black wheels and flat black stripes..
well. I have typed too much.. thanks in advance for all your help..

SSS's are slow :D
The AWD is really fun with some nitrous...you never spin much :nx:
I just powder coated the rims on my red SSS but im going to leave them chrome on my 06 SSS but have already started the murdering out on it...the red one is already done though....not a single piece of chrome/silver on it

1)Fairly custom. People are seeing a lot of gains from Magnaflow. I run Flowmaster but they are a very restrictive muffler and while providing great sound, don't give you quite as much HP.
2) Powder coat them. It'll hold up better.
3) Spectre on ebay sells for around 100$.
4) Custom tune all the way. Call Nelson Performance, they run this site.
5) I think the hockey stripes look pretty cool.

AWESOME replies guys. thanks...
Anyone know where to get some instructions to replace bulbs on the 2004 gauge cluster? the solder in type bulbs?

Duct_Tape is very good at that. Take a look around here for him.
