***did My First Mod ..!!!!!!!!!!

[bigbillybbs]

I have had my 03 black marauder almost a year now. ( 50k) I love everything about it. I am a college student and money is tight but I have been saving and just did my first small mod. I did the JLT intake. I love it sounds awesome when you get on it. I think after doing it I caught the bug everyone talks about. Wanting to more and more.! I just ordered the standard tune from Mr. Reinhart the Dynotech Driveshaft and the Pro Guard rear skid plate just to be safe. I cant wait to get all my goodies in the mail and see how much the tune will make a difference.
O by the way Mr. Reinhart is awesome I talked to him on the phone and he knows everything there is to no about the Marauder. Great guy…!

What do you guys think I should do next..???

[gmtech]

the tune will really wake the car up and you will be pleased but the gears seem to be the next most standard mod...mine wiil be going in this spring sometime

Do the 4.10's next

Then the swaybars and rear control arms.

You will love the change in driveability the tune makes.

I was thinking about either doing the 4.10’S first or the KOOKS headers CAT back system first. I live right next to KOOKS. They said the Factory Tailpipe:Headers,X Pipe with Cats and Mufflers with the install would be $2200. What do you think??

[Paul T. Casey]

Do the Kooks!!

[offroadkarter]

Kooks, minus there cats. Plenty of people here have had problems with kooks cats not lasting as long as they should.

Need to think about a brake up grade, fast, and no stop is No Good!

Thats the same price they quoted me as well and Im not too far from them. I want the headers but thats quite costly considering how much less it is for any other car.

Remember we drive MM's, parts are specific!

[KillJoy]

Get a Poor Man's Supercharger (PMS) next.



That would be 4.10's!!!



Sorry... I kill me!

But seriously.... get gears. Then looking into Rear Control Arms. Zacks are good, as are the PHP and Metcos.

After those, think of the direction you want the car to go in, Boost, Nitrous or Naturally Aspirated.

It seems that everyone loves doing 4.10s and its not that expensive to do compared to the headers. I saw the gears for $260.00 on Reinhart. My mechanic down the road said he would install them for 200.00. Is that a reasonable price ?

Mr. Reinhart said he would send me an email to download into the tuner for the 4.10s. So the car will recognize them. ( Speedometer reading and all )

Does this all sound right to you guys??

THANKS for the Advice,, this forum is the best thing that ever happened to me and my baby!!

[KillJoy]

$200 Install = Good Price!!!!



A Tune + 4.10's = HOW the MM SHOULD HAVE been shipped from the Factory!!!

Enjoy it man, and take pictures, as a college student with low funds I feel ya. I bolted on my JLT and the bug itches me when ever I get a moment to think.

Indeed I heard and seen willwoods and they look and must feel awesome.

Like me, I doubt that he's got the 5K bankroll to fund such a project.

Thats the same price they quoted me as well and Im not too far from them. I want the headers but thats quite costly considering how much less it is for any other car.

Wow, they're in NY! I never knew! Its going on my list for stuff to acquire since they're relatively close and can do the welding work, though it'll take me a while to gather the cash to put it on.

And as for the next mod, a tune or 4.10s are popular, but as I wanna get back on the engine, I'm going for UDs and a water pump.
