please dont use air tools , soak in kroil or pb blaster for a few days then pull your heat shields so you can get to nuts better and use a 10 inch extension with 1/2 inch socket , keep socket straight not in a bind , back it out a hair then tighten it back , for every half turn out run it back in a quarter turn to clean threads , should come right out

GM doesn't make paint. All the big 3 use either BASF, PPG, or DuPont. They all make the same paint. They have to. They mandate that all 3 make the same paint so in the event something happens to one, the other two can ramp up production to meet the need of the automaker.

im not talking about actual "making the paint" im talking about R&D for the color. and i wasnt nitpicking on specifics. i was just responding to the ford diss with a smartass response. by the way broke off the front head lower stud. sticking out about a 1/8 inch. borrowed the jig to drill it out if i have to gonna wait till monday when i can get the stud remover socket from work. just put them on to see how they look. also did drag to lower pipe once on a turn and one of the trans bolts that holds the factory bracket on is broken also. they are radii exhaust i think called sweepers. bought the radii baffles from j&p they were too small. sleeved them and installed them. gonna see how they sound soon. cant wait already got my pcv tune from fuel moto just cant do anything on sunday have to go to the zoo with the family for mothers day.

It's an evalution thing. See way back at the beginning of man we had to hunt for our food and avoid getting eaten at the same time. Well green things: trees, leaves, bushes etc... don't move. So our eyes adjust to the fact that "green" is neither food nor something that eats us. Fast forward to the days of cars and motorcycles. The human eye still can not actulaterly judge the speed of green colors things. So car drivers constentely miss judge the speed of green motorcycle and pull out in front of them and BANG.

Those pipes look nice. I hate it when studs or bolts break. I bought some stuff from an industrial supply house that I'm going to try with the next frozen bolt.
