Its mainly my speedometer it always sticks, don't flow smooth, and drops below zero. But now my oil pressure and my battery guage both dropped all the way down and stay there. And if I gotta buy a whole new cluster I might as well buy one I like instead of stock.

do you know anywhere i can get the whole cluster my guages are messin up and i don't wanna spend the money to get them fixed when i could just buy a brand new one that's already modified

Anyone know a good decently priced site for new guage clusters? I need the exact cluster Steve has. Its an Escalade Style kit made by US Speedo.

Anyone know how to remove the two light housings for the dome lights above the dash?

Its the actual muffler sound. And yeah I got it because of price and I didn't really know anything any other brand at the time.

The popping is from having no cats I'm pretty sure cuz there is a lot less backpressure. But I also think the back pressure is whats causing the echoing. Either that or its just the Flowmasters. I'm thinkin about switching to Corsa.

5.3 V8. Yeah I mean I wouldn't mind spendin the money on a Corsa or Borla I'm the type to pay for quality I just don't have a job so its hard.

Sounds good bro.

Its echoing. I love the popping it sounds mean lol.

EXACTLY. I just don't wanna spend $400 MORE on new mufflers but if I do I'm thinkin about Magnaflow. What you think?

Exhaust is the only performance mod I've made. I plan on puttin long tube headers, intake, BBK throttle body, MSD ignition coils and wires, either NGK or Bosch plugs, Iraggi 330 alternator, Comp camshaft, and some kind of aftermarket intake manifold. Should be around $1000 give or take a couple hundred. Nothin big really I'm just broke at the moment ya know.

Yeah the tone is fine really. I just want it to be smoother and not echo so bad above 2500rpms. The mufflers sound amazing until I'm driving and I hit 2500 then it sounds like a have an exhaust leak. Other than that one thing I've had the exhaust for about 9 months and I love it still.

No cats sounds awesome I just want the tone to be smoother it echoes bad at about 2500rpms.

I have true dual exhaust with Flowmaster Super 40's and no catalytic converters. It sounds fine but it has bad backfire (probably from no cats of course) and when I get past about 2500 rpm's it sounds like its echo-ing real bad. I figured cats would fix this and make it sound a bit deeper but I DO NOT want to sacrifice loudness. Advice??

So do you think the 470's were too big cuz the lights wouldn't even come on. I'm also using the rectangular LEDs because Radio Shack was out of the round ones which I'm used to.

So I should run it straight from the battery and through a small fuse? What about resistors? I bought the 470 ohm resistors and the LEDs won't even light up. I'm guessing its because the resistor is too big. Someone told me I should try a 140 ohm would that be too small?

How do you take apart the guage cluster? I got all the way down to the panel but it seems like the needles are stopping it from coming off. Do the needles pop out or somethin?

And is this a good idea? I ran the power wire for the LEDs off of my remote wire from my head unit. And the ground is coming straight from my battery. Is this good or should I run the power wire from the battery also? Or at least my fuse block for my amp?

What resistor should I use for a 3.2V LED???

@Team-Atomic-Andrew Yeah that's what I thought too but I wired some into my friends truck and didn't use resistors and they work fine. But will the resistors from radio shack hold up to 12v good?

What is the best brand and voltage LED I can wire straight to 12v power? And where can I get them? Ones from RadioShack can't handle 12v.

Putty knife!!! And if you scratch or scuff up the plastic just wet sand it with some 600 and then prime it with some filler primer and then repeat the process until your satisfied.

Your best bet is to wet sand the shit out of it with some 3M brand 80grit and then with some 600. Then try http://urethanesupply.com/storecleaners.php its an assortment of plastic cleaners. Anything to do with plastics use urethane supply company they're the best. The Scuff Magic is an abrasive cleaner but it will probably remove a good portion of the paint too. Check it out bro.
