Has anyone istalled one of these? I was wondering if they would damage a transmission with a lot of miles on it and how difficult are they to install? Thanks, Jack

They alway seem to be in the way. Good point on the brake lines. It would be nice to see some how too material to read up on the installation as well, but I have not been able to locate anything but bits and pieces.

What are the pros and cons of replacing my existing lines with braided stainless steel lines? I was reading on another site that deterioration is a factor? I would greatly appreciated your ideas. Thanks, Jack

I installed a Magna Flow cat back system on my 90 Convertible. They look great and I like the sound. My questions is in regard to heat shields. The old (factory) system had them (to protect the spring?). I was thinking of wrapping the same area with exhaust wrap. Is is necessary or is it something I don't have to worry about. Thanks for your help, Jack

When ever I hear about rough idle all of a sudden I generally start out believing that it is a vacuum leak. Check all of you hoses even the PCV hose.

The only thing for sure is that no matter the forum, no matter the car or motorcycle, no matter what the topic of motor oil is always a lively read!

I recently purchased a 90 convertable L98 auto trans. One of the previous owners eliminated the FX3 option with standard shocks. The connectors are taped in the front (no acuators). When I start out with the car after start up and drive off for several feet (either reverse or forward) I hear a growning noise from the rear then it goes away (matter of a few seconds). Am I hearing the remenants of the FX3 or something else? Thanks for the input. Jack

Boy did I luck out. The puddle was caused by the dip stick tube not being secured in the transmission!!! I thought for sure that I was going to get the call about replacement or astonomical labor costs. Then I would have to fight with the warrany company to cover. Ducked the bullet on this one.

I will know where I am Thursday. This last weekend I found a small puddle of fluid on the garage floor. Earlier this summer I had a pruge done and who knows. The level is still in the safe area but I am taking it to the local Chevy dealer (north of Pittsburgh) for his trans guy to check out. The car is still under warranty. When I purchased it I was able to get a warranty that covers the drive train. I will let you know if I am in the market or what ever.
