Drilling Stock Pipes on 2004 Silverado-Need Info 7 Years, 2 Months ago  
Hello Brothers. I am going to attempt the stage three stock pipe mod that was posted to the site by Fatbike. Can anyone who has successfully done the job give me any relevant info such as carb rejetting, can I use the stock breather, do I need to remove the AIS, adjustments-stuff like that.<br><br>Post edited by: vickk12785, at: 2005/03/10 14:24

I did it about a year before changing my airbox with no problems at all - no rejetting required. I did remove the AIS, though, which is recommended.

I changed the air box to K&amp;N and completed the stage three on pipes.. I have had issues with getting the jetting correct. I now am at 200 main...I think that is large. It run great with 1/2 to wide open throttle.. Little surge at 1/4 throttle. Pipes are not black. Plugs look good. Put in maxair PMS screw, That helped some. Also changed out pilot jet to a larger one. Sorry I have forgotten what size... It was recommended on the board..
I have the same bike as you do.<br><br>Post edited by: Sandbag, at: 2005/03/13 10:54

Someone else said they did the stage 3 stock exhaust mod and didn't need to re-jet. I'm definitely getting some mixed messages on this mod.

Sand, I'd say your main is too rich. I started with a DJ 190. I also upped the pilot to a 37.5DJ. I ended up dropping the main to a Mikuni 175 which would be equivalent to a DJ186.7 if there were such a thing. I don't know why Dynojet doesn't include a DJ185 in their 04 kit. I'm running an aftermarket breather with maxmix screw, open pipes with torque cones. I'd think you'd need to be a little leaner with the drilled stockers. I was having same symptoms you describe when I was too rich.

Hey Loy. So you think I should go with the Mikuni 175. I plan to keep all the stock parts and just drill the stock pipes out(if that provides enough tone). I dont want real loud pipes or I'll never get the old lady on the back again. As far as AIS removal goes can you recommend a kit? Let me know if there are any other mods that you think would help my cause. Thanks, Vick.<br><br>Post edited by: vickk12785, at: 2005/03/14 12:12

Vick, if you've still got the stock breather you shouldn't need to change out any jets. My comments were directed to Sandbag. If you've got stock box and stock exhaust, I'd just tweak the PMS.

Re:Drilling Stock Pipes on 2004 Silverado-Need Info 7 Years, 2 Months ago  
Midnight
I pulled the tank tonight...The kit I have from DynoJet did not come with a 186.7
So I went with the 190...Still may be to big...
I checked the clip..On the 4th slot from the top...
I have not ridden yet as I just got her back together....
Cranked good but it always has...
My kit does have a 185.. Might have to try that if I still have the surge...
Thanks for your help with this....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rode 200 miles...Runs good but still have surge at about 1/4 throttle.<br><br>Post edited by: Sandbag, at: 2005/03/25 22:05

No need to rejet or adjust PMS after doing the stage III. Stop thinking about it and just enjoy the great sound!
