look what i finally got

[LSx S10]

finally got my dynomax catback. been waiting for awhile. Ive heard about rust problems with dynomax so took off the stickers and painted it with 1300F grill paint. hopefully that will make a difference..we'll see. plus i think its going to look better too. still waiting on the y-pipe though.

Good

Better

nice! Yeah I had dynomax on my Lumina and it rusted out after 3 years of it being on. What vehicle is this going on?

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

Is it stainless or aluminized?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

speedy! you goin to the track today Tondo?

I had dynomax super turbos on the GTP for two years and they rusted from the inside-out because of the exhaust condensation. There were drain holes in the mufflers and that's where the rot started until half the muffler fell off.

Borla=too much money

 

[LSx S10]

its aluminized

find me a borla catback for 160bucks. i just needed a replacement nothing special

For 160 bones you cant complain. When that stuff takes a dump from the rust out, just get some pipe bent up and throw in a muffler of your choice. It will probably be in the $200 range + whatever you pay for the muffler, but stainless.

thats why i got a pacesetter cat-back. it was $175 bucks and sounds fairly sweet for a 4 cyl. plus its anti-rice.

Thats where they are on most cars, arent they? The reluctor wheel is attached to the harmonic balancer, and the sensor is kinda inside the pulley

The PTs is on the right rear of the engine in plain sight. Though the repair manual i got said it was under the starter on the opposite side of the engine.

we didnt go anyways, it was supposed to rain. do you have air tools? balancers usually pop off with air impacts but hand tools its such a bitch. i've used a huge breaker bar and then used 2 beefy screwdrivers in the balancer to hold everything while i tried to get the nut loose. it sucks ass.

how much is the sensor? i know you didnt know if it was the ecu or possibly the sensor. if the sensor is cheap enough i would try that first. if its not the issue, oh well. move on to the ecu.

did you bake the paint on or just let it air dry? thats whats gonna determine if it will last or not, however its an exhaust it gets all the elements.

I never had luck with the 1300F paint on any exhaust parts, it flakes off rather easily and prematurely.

most crank sensors i have seen are much easier to r&r. the cavalier had a hole on the side of the block that the cps went in and a reluctor wheel on the crank.

no i didnt bake it, was hoping the heat from the exhaust would bake it..but considering it wont be installed for awhile seems like its a little bit late for that. oh well i got the paint free. was left over from when i deleted my buddies tbss muffler
