Since Eric (gcsd3742) is out of town, and I'm his Fiance, I thought I'd share this. Just received from the man in brown....




I have one from DMH as well which is on my '02 Silverado, but not black powder coated, which I'm wishing mine was. Now I'm jealous.

 

Someone care to enlighten me as to what this is/does?!?

 

It's a switched valve that will allow him to run open downpipe at will.

Tell Eric congratulations for me. I have decided not to go this route, but I can't wait to see how his works out. :)

 

does that need to be welded in?

 

I'm not sure about that particular model. I have one that can be put into a three inch exhaust with clamps, if you're interested. I think Eric plans to have his welded into his downpipe. She probably knows all of the details.

 

Thus....? I'm a turbo idiot, first for me! lol

 

That is fantastic! looking at one myself, keep us abreast of the install! ......Q? will this throw O2 sensors?

 

No one's an idiot here... This is the similar application that I have on my '02 Silverado, and some have heard the nasty sound that comes off a V8.

Really thought, this a great performance modification, it allows the vehicle to full breath... and I can say it adds to the ponies.

 

Throw the O2's, nah just program around it, is what I've done on the Silverado. I'm sure there's a way to do the same on the HHR SS. Plus Eric had the bung hole install JIC.

 

Where/how is this installed, how much does it cost, and what are the +/-'s?
