Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

Thanks. I can't wait for them to break in or what ever they do and be louder. Every flowmaster I ever had has done that after a few weeks.

Thats weird...since they are chambered and all steel inside...nothing to break-in like a glasspack with the fiberglass matting inside...

I know. Every flowmaster I have had has gotten louder after a few weeks of driving.

Re: 85 lwb turbo 5.3 build

Got my ECM back from lt1swap.com guy and it now idles nice and low like it should. Does not push hard when sitting at stop light. Much better to drive. Just need to get trans shifting correct with shift kit I hope. Then I may get a set of wheels. Wife wants showwheel streeter in black. Possibly 18x9 in back and 18x8 up front.
