racerx78 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I've been wanting something i can do some light towing with, and had more cargo space than my cali. I was looking at a Ford Edge or a Volvo XC70. i ended up with this..... 07 Trailblazer SS AWD! http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/d845785d.jpg After all the youtube videos i had to make a quick trip to the muffler shop to get rid of the muffler. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/28ff60d8.jpg Out it goes http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/1264b375.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/7541ac7a.jpg In goes the straight pipe http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee117/j2onlineaccts/Wheels/28599e48.jpg Sounds like it should now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTUwFWzG0Rk for right now i don't have any performance plans for it.

KillJoy Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Removing the Muffler ---> Dumb That thing is now ALWAYS gonna be loud. You should have installed an Electric Cut-Out if you wanted more sound. That way, you can turn it off if needed... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start up and idle are just a mild deep tone. Crusing theres no drone at all, and its very quiet. The only time it gets loud is when my lead foot start acting up. So its very civil (when it needs to be!) Did you seriously refer to a TBSS as a swagger wagon? Hand your man card in, fuck. lol, yes i did. This is my family hauler, the kids don't ride in the other car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJdidit1738 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 That truck does pretty good snow doughnuts, driftings fun, best vehicle ive ever driven in the winter, you bought that at lindsay? thats my old truck I just traded it last month on a tl type s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yes i did...small world. i really like the car so far. I don't plan on going crazy with it. Just that exhaust mod.

OJdidit1738 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I bought a auto, I traded in the truck because i dont town anything anymore and a long drive to work, yeah its definitely a nice truck, just not that great on gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerx78 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 lol, yea i got it up to 14.8mpg driving around 270 yesterday. Most of my driving is to work and thats what the Mazda is for. The SS is just for during the weekend and family trips so its not a every day thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had you did any mantaince to the power train recently? I'm trying to see what i need to catch up on. I'll be doing the engine oil soon, but i wanted to know if the ATF and transfer Case fluid have been replaced. Is it still running the stock Spark plugs?

Yeah you need to do that, I honestly didnt do anything to it besides oil changes, I took it in around 30k miles to bob mcdorman for a transmission issue, they replaced the valve body and a couple other things but that was the only issue ive ever had, I know the truck was coming up on routine maintenance like a brake job maybe some tires but I traded it in because I found the tl before I had to do all that stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
