I agree its difficult to get the bushings in if you've never done it before. Once you're familiar with how it all fits together, its a "little" easier. The only trick I know of to make it easier, is to remove the muffler end of the exhaust - and then you have PLENTY of space to work around the...

yup - you can just crawl under and do it in 5mins.

A) My 06 XLR-V has an E67 ecm so it can be tuned just fine - so it maybe that the based 06 can't be tuned, I can't remember which ecm it has B) AFAIK you cannot do an ecm swap between the 05 and 07 base because the wiring is different... most notably the crank position ring on the older 4.6L...

The coil packs go bad surprisingly frequently - I have replaced 2 (individual) myself.

For $13, I'd just try it and find out.

I just ran a line to the back - its not a big deal, most of the panels in the trunk are press fit and pulling a wire from the passenger compartment to the rear is pretty easy

Yes - it can be done, I have done it to my 06 V. You need either EFI-Live or HP-Tuners to reprogram the engine computer to remove the limiter. Its not a big deal... alternatively, you can take your V to any Corvette tuner and they will likely have the programmer to do it for you - the going...

Yes - I have removed the SC a few times... I had rats build nests in there more than once and they only way to clean it up is to tear apart the motor - I have no idea why GM didn't install blocking plates to prevent debris from getting in there. Once the SC is removed, the starter is sitting in...

I believe the starter is in the valley of the engine on the top side... on the V you have to remove the entire superchrager assembly off the top - I have personally seen the starter at the top when doing some work on the top end before.... I suspect it must be in the same place for the base 4.6...

I don't have much detail on this, but here's my understanding... The Radio and amp does provide a cross over point for some of the bus... but you don't need it to do that, you can just jump the bus wires also, my understanding with the ACC is that the steering wheel controls all go directly...

Do you have a copy of the GM service manuals? It should say what the state of the ignition should be. If it needs to be in the "run" state, the GM manual will tell you that you need to simply hold down the ACCY button for 5 seconds to put it in "run".

Any modern Double-DIN sized unit will work... the modules and dash kits you need will work with all of them. Just comes down to your personal prefernce.

I presume you're talking about the oxygen sensor? Its pretty simple - you just need unscrew it from the exhaust manifold, unplug it, and then reverse for the new one. But but replacing the sensor may not be the actual fix - before you start throwing parst at it, you may need to run a scan tool...

The first step is to have a Tech2 and scan it... you'll probably need the Tech2 to actually start fixing it as well so you can see whats going on. Without it, you're just guessing.

I have personally reviewed the timing tables in the my V with both EFIlive and HPtuners - and you can clearly see a "low octane" timing table... That is to say that it will not damage anything if you use regular fuel... but you will lose power.... In a forced induction set up like the...

you have to put in load resistors

There isn't one. Its controlled by the BCM in software AFAIAK

Wow -thats kind of neat... I think it needs a rib over the passengers head - it looks unfinished... the C-pillar show go up to the roof and continue on. But otherwise I think its interesting 👍

FWIW - Most silicone sprays use acetone as a solvent to make the silicone spray more evenly... You can see it in the MSDS sheet for the spray. unfortunately, this weakens and softens plastic thus causing it to distort or stick to each other. I've stopped using silicone spray on all plastics as...

I re-read this entire thread.... I do not see where anyone says this. TomP says he has an 06, and there has been no fitment issues for 06 and magnaflow cats AFAIK Please point us to the post where there are fitment issues for 06 and Magnaflow cats so we can all be informed.
