Subject: Teaser pics of my new tips & rebuilt tranny Author: rhett : member since March, 2005 : 1455 posts Posted on: 2005-10-10 20:59:01

I picked up my tranny on Thursday last week (dropped it off on Monday), 3 day turnaround for a full rebuild Got it all put it on Saturday by myself - it was probably the easiest tranny I have ever put in, which is a good thing.





As promised, here are a few more pics, but the full write up will come this weekend. I should be preparing for class, but I am procrastinating right now so......

My tips I am going to be putting on - they are 3" diameter outlets : The entire tip is polished 304 so they will never rust....if you look close, you can see the have resonators built into them and yes they have packing material too. (they are dirty right now...)



This shows the gutts of the muffler - I ended up cutting the longest perfed tube out to re-use.




My waterpump is supposed to be here on Tuesday, so Wed night will be putting that in and start piecing the exhaust back together. Thursday night will be the finishing touches on the exhaust and the cut-outs.

2000 740iL - 140k+ miles, stock other than 2 10" JL audio subs and big RockFord Fosgate amp :)
5% tint back 3 windows, supposed to be 30% on front doors (might be 20%)
