- In this video, I steal my wife's Escalade by totally not lying to her and I install a gigantic Magnuson supercharger in 2 days! I made my own new Cadillac Escalade V! Sit back, grab that popcorn and freezing cold beverage (or hot) and enjoy the show!
Supercharge your truck with a Magnuson kit! bit.ly/3rmN9fj
I show this and talk about it a lot in the video but this was the nicest and easiest aftermarket supercharger kit I've ever installed. It's so much fun to install and the instructions are top-notch. You don't need to be a skilled mechanic to install this yourself.

we got a 2021 nissan armada platinum. super comfortable. i could use a super charger.😂 Keep up the great content.
I'm 13 and in new jersey and my mom has a 19 Tranverse lt with the awd with 15k and it's been great for the pass 3 years since we leased in brand new.
Daily driver is an 07 ML63 AMG...dying to supercharge it but it's so expensive...awesome vid Alex

Everyone should take a moment to reflect on how much R&D Magnuson went through to design superchargers for so many models. They had to get ahold of every one of those vehicles, build a unit and install it. Then all the detail work like grommets, color photos etc etc. So paying 8K is a drop in the bucket for what you get.
Its such a good deal for the amount of power you gain.
$8000? Yikes!! Is that really what it costs? I was thinking $4000 tops.
@@andrewhigdon8346 you can definitely pay 4000 to supercharge a car however you’ll have to figure out all the fitment yourself.
@@andrewhigdon8346 lol 4k a kleeman kit is 10k and instructions aren’t the best
the fact that it has a cooler is good too, you can get the blower for 3-4k but sourcing out an aftercooler to fit with the blower and then brackets to mount it on , time is money so its all worth it
I was Legit impressed with Peter’s ability to stay still.
Ditto! Guy should've been a surgeon with those steady hands
Same here. My guy didn’t even flinch lol
Reminds me of Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy “I’ve mastered the ability of standing so incredibly still…that I become invisible to the eye”.
its takes more than 640horse to move that kinda mass lol
Yea, I came here to say the same thing... looks like an awesome guy to hang out with...
Really inspires confidence when a manufacturer gives that level of instruction with their products, real pride in that. Fantastic install and it's always fun turning tools with mates. Beautiful truck.
I've installed one of these Magneson kits for my 5.3L Tahoe and I can tell you right now that the parts, the quality, and the instructions is absolutely stunning. I saw a LOT of other options, but I ended up going with Magneson because of the quality of the parts and the help I would receive with the purchase of my product. I've had it for about 40k miles and I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy it again.
Tip: Save some money up after your purchase to invest into your transmission haha
In what ways just buying a new one or you mean the gears
Why can't they make a good transmission
@@Itgetslonely a new one but mainly the torque converter
@@zakbrinkhoff324 it’s allot of power it’s not meant for that at all
Did you ever have any issues with the supercharger on the 40k you had it?
Loved watching Peter's face on every pull even when he was trying to be serious 😂
He was genuinely excited.
Peter looks like a super cool guy, positive vibes only coming off him, I'm glad he's part of the team :)
Bring Peter back on!!!!
Always great to have a good buddy helping. Bonus points when they actually know what they're doing!
Well, that literally Escaladed quickly! 😂😂😂
This is just pure quality content! You finish projects, do great work, long und detailed videos, no bs, attainable cars.....
This is just fantastic! This is what most other UA-camrs lost and what makes this chanel great. Pls dont change!
The quality and variety of content on UA-cam in general surprises me over and over again. I barely watch conventional TV anymore, and I typically search any questions I have here before going to google. I don't think I've made a major purchase in the last 10 years without watching a UA-cam review first. I've got this video playing in the background while I work on my aluminum tig welding in the garage. Perfect content to let play while I work.
.....keyword being attainable cars.
@@mrlt1151 Same here. This is the kind of video you can watch on a big TV as a evening program or let it play as background entertainment.
The quality of work and the feeling that Alex is just a great guy with lots of knowledge and a family guy that gives back to others just makes it very enjoyable, no clickbaity-exotic-5-year-projects with lots of music and no information that die off after 3 videos without further context.
@@MultiFerrarifreak yes. I’m so happy he did away with the “filler” music. That contrived crap is the bane of my UA-cam experience. Also how loud people always make the music compared to the spoken parts. Good grief! Legit Street Cars is great! Love it.
I Thoroughly enjoyed this video.
The icing on the cake was seeing you guys giggling like kids at the pulls. 😂🤣😂🤣
Icing on the cake will be pulling up next to some unsuspecting person that think's their faster
wife: "it's making weird sounds, am returning it to the dealership"
She should do that with a go pro in the car and get the tech guy reaction
"It's a boy" 😂 standup comedian/mechanic, I would to see some more cooperation with this guy Alex, he got the LSC touch for the channel 😂 his intro was epic too 😂
Yeah, I thought that stuff was Funny as Hell Too!
Peter I love your channel. And I like your partner Alex I think he does too much work though, he's far too pretty for that kind of stuff.
Dude, your long videos are what I eat my breakfast lunch or dinner to. I need something to keep me entertained and your videos do that for me. Thank you for no-nonsense approach to your content!
Peter and Alex playing with the new toy was fantastic. Alex was in his element 100 percent. Legit. Great showcase of how fun performance upgrades can be and they aren’t always intimidating projects. Way to go Alex and Peter.
You inspired me to supercharge my ‘04 Tahoe! Currently I’m working on getting a built 5.3/4L80e combo to replace the tired 4.8/4L60e that’s in there now; then I’m going to get me the biggest twin screw I can get my hands on & make my ultimate sleeper :)
Bruh. The way Peter throughly enjoys the rise at the end is infectious.
Had a feeling this was coming…as soon as you commented on how tame the exhaust note was… 🤣
Escalade-V! GM take notes.
Awesome video - Peter and your faces at the end of the video made my day!
Thet did take notes, they are building a Escalade V with the LT4 engine
Any engine or transmission temperature reports? Under repeated pulls?
Watch how the Car Wizard does an intake clean, rather than picking away at the build-up. I used his method on my V6 LFX and filling the port with the CRC cleaner then using compressed air to blow out the gunk is easier and the result is just as good. Adding a catch can will stop the carbon building up again.
It won't stop the build up in a direct inection motor.
@@Dukes3677 It will slow it. But you need a vaccum sealed catch can. Also the type of oil that is less volatile (one that offgasses fewer vapors) can reduce the carbon buildup at its source. The fewer vapors the oil gives off, the better.
Savagegeese has a very good video on Direct Injected engines and things to look out for. You should check him out.
Been doing that for years
@47:17 OMG THE ESCALADE IS NOW A HELLCAT
51:37 the guy behind him at the light went down to the Cadillac dealership the next day 😂
Everyone needs a friend like Peter!! Mans a legend!
“I didn’t lie, I didn’t lie.” … when you have to say that… 😂
"Honey we're gonna be late." "No we're not, we'll take the Escalade." 😂 That whine is music to the ears. Thanks for sharing 👍
I’m only 1/2 way through right now, but super impressed with the detailed kit and installation instructions. I’m sure this will be an awesome performance mod. I’m sure your wife won’t mind having to stop at the gas station a little more often. Lol
I laugh so hard at you people burning through your engines 2 times as fast just for a little bit of speed smh..
@@NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth Imagine hating your life
@@NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth Keep up on the oil changes and you'll only be burning through tyres and fuel.
@@NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth “I love laughing at other people misfortune” you sound like a lovely human.
@@NewLifeFromTheWayofTruth if you think this is gonna hurt this motor you clearly know nothing about ls engines
Pete's reaction to the takeoff hands down was worth this entire process.
This was one of the first UA-cam videos that was longer than 15 minutes that I actually watched, the random comedic blurbs make time go by
54:21 minutes of amazing content
Great job Alex! Can’t wait to see 1 Million subs here!
We need more Peter! He’s great! Also, thanks for the long uploads and all the hard work you do to bring people great entertainment
Deadpool, absolute Peter!!!
Absolutely loved this video!! Can't wait for the next video!! It should be awesome!! Dyno action plus a reveal!! That's packed content!! Nobody does this, a lot people just milk and milk their builds and make like 30 videos for something that should only take 2 videos. Thank you!!
See also; Tavarish...
@@stuartd9741 I didn't want to mention any names 🤣... but I think Tav got the message. He is improving.
@@jorgeirizarry5971Don't get me wrong still enjoy his content.
I watched his Lamborghini turbo build 2/3 year ago.
it seemed to be broken up into smaller episodes where small improvements were made.
Like one episode replacing the rear lights, one episode fixing the stereo, one fixing or trying to fix the hydraulics on convertible. hood.
Tavarish would've been better to have one longer video incorporating all those items than 3 or 4 smaller ones..
This is why I like Alex's longer format.
After watching you've achieved good progress and learned something too.
@@stuartd9741 I also wait his wife answer. Is it only 600 hp or what you have done my car 😱. Still must to say, that Alex done great videos!!
@@stuartd9741 I'm not a Tav groupie lol. You can say what you want lol. I have followed this and Tavarish's channel since they started so I know exactly what you mean.
44:23 ARRIGHT ESCALADE! zi doktor iz inn!! 🤣🤣
46:05 I remember getting my nephews a LEGO train set. Luckily the Electric Santa had remembered batteries... :)
For future reference, if you ever have to remove a stock intake again lol I always unbolt the intake cover (the black one that the beauty cover lays on) from the intake and the intake sneaks out from underneath very easily thus making it much easier to disconnect the clips on the back of the plastic cover once the intake is out 👍🏼 I work at a dealer so I found that to be much easier as those clips in the back are nonsense 💀
Just AWESOME!
Loved watching Peter's reactions! 😄
That's the cleanest "nasty" shop bathroom I've ever seen in my life.
I loved the expression on Peter's face during the test drive after the installation.
Your buddy's smile & laughter during the 1st test drive makes this ALL WORTH IT!
Love when you always say: easy to install/do at Home.
Needs garage, lift, right tools etc 😂
yup and definitely a two-man job... the massive front bumper alone needs two people to remove and to re-install.
Is it even a home if you don't have those things? :P
You can always hook up a pulley to your front yard shade tree...
If you ever watched Sam's videos, you'll see that a lift isn't necessary. It just makes life a lot easier.
didn't even use a lift, just some jackstands
LET'S GOOOOO PETER!!!! THANK YOU FOR BIRINGING HIM BACK IN ANOTHER VIDEO!!! UGHHHHHHH SO LUCKY MAAAAN!!!! I'M GOING TO BE LIKE PETER ONE OF THESE DAYS, JUST YOU WAIT!!!!
dying to see her reaction. not convinced she's going to be thrilled strapping the kiddos in a rocket
🤪
want to see this as well
No, she will. The only downside will be her face when watching the dollars add up on fueling. Whoopsy!
I hope she is cool with the additional demands on Chicagoland winter roads traction control this power increase may impose.
Depends. Mrs Alex knowing Alex is a car guy Is probably used to the subterfuge..lol.
Though I think Alex should suggest Mrs Alex drive in 4 wheel all the time otherwise is doughnuts all round on the school run....
47:16 - Snapped Necks - Best part of the Vid!!
This was such a joy to watch. It makes me even more jealous my boyfriends brother is ordering the 2023 Escalade-V when the books open. It’s essentially what you and Peter built! Although I think the new Escalade-V uses the Supercharged LT4 V8 from the CT5-V Blackwing. Not too sure but if so, that should be at least 650HP! Again, essentially your Escalade! New subscriber here!!! This video just fell in my lap! Much love from Chicago! Can’t wait to check out your other content.
Yu gay?
@@teeco5952 😂 Not sure why that’s important here but yes, I am.
jit gay 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹
@@chefcjnobles1680 I knew it 😂😂😂
A good test of carbon clean would be a before and after dyno run.
Yh thats what I thought he'd do, spark plugs carbon clean amd then a dyno before the supercharger
Best thing about Saturdays are when legitstreetcars uploads a video!!!
Supercharging the family SUV on a stealth mission… You are definitely my hero right now. 😂
One wonders if the recipient of the surprise will be as excited as the presenter of it is, though.
@@Digital-Dan We shall find out..
Love the peter take every kit should come with a retep sadly they don't not in our time in the future fosure, you guys are great keep them coming ...
49:54 that green van behind you was in complete awe, like "bro did that thing really just cover me in dust? hahaha"
47:30 such a genuine reaction from Peter 😂 you guys had to much fun. 😆
Hey a tip for short people, I'm in a wheelchair so even on my lowered car I have problems reaching some stuff in the engine bay, what helps for me is taking the wheels off, then I can lower the car lower than it would sit with the wheels on. I've sat the pinch welds on wood blocks before. Just be careful that the jack fits back under it to put the wheels back on, I've had that happen before.
Congratulations for your stamina and strengh keep on bro
Installed my own Magnuson TVS 2300 on my 392 Challenger a few years back. Took my time over a weekend it was
easy peasy. Installed at like 42k miles and the Challenger now has 73k miles and it's been nothing but big grins :)
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed watching 2 grown men grin and giggle like school girls!
Well, Peter's stillness during that intro made me wonder if my video hadn't frozen. Great acting Peter!
Thank you Alex for another great video. I love the way you do things. I always feel like I’m there with you. So many other UA-camrs speed up a lot of the process and the fact that you don’t is what makes your videos so good.
I won’t ever own a vehicle like this or fit a super charger but that doesn’t stop me watching and learning.
Keep up the good work
Ian from New Zealand.
You most definitely used the work 'performance' when you were telling your wife what you were about to do.. love it!! I'm exactly the same way with mine : )
Who else loves these long ass episodes? This one is almost one hour 😍😍
Can't do it, I watch everything at 2x speed
@@reallyhappenings5597 we are different, some of us watch to learn.
I agree. Just depends how much time Alex has.
He has quite a few projects on the go....
Legit watched every second.
@@lawrences4153 I watch to learn too. At 2x. "Some of us can" do that. 😉
Your boy Peter is solid under the hood and on camera. More Peter!
8:24 “yup its brump bumper”😂💀
I've been watching your channel for some months now. This video made me hit the subscribe button. The funniest joke in this video (and there are many) was when you mentioned leaving the stock plugs to maintain your "phenomenal Escalade gas mileage." Gold sir.
This is awesome, LSA's are one of the best platforms. Jeremy from Fasterproms also did this to his wife's escalade a few years ago 😂 SO GOOD!!
Guarantee Jeremy used GM parts, not an $8k kit
@@Onewheelordeal not gonna lie, I commented before watching the video lll I thought he was doing an LSA swap. But it is nice to see him using a Magnuson which is what Jeremy used on the Caprice
Turned out so good. With child seats in the back, this is how you get the next gen interested in modding cars. Let it eat mom!
Watching Peter grab the oh shit handle is priceless
It great to have a friend like Peter
We all need a Peter in the toolbox :) good job guys, I bet the wife is gonna love it.
Just finished installing one of these kits on a 2018 Tahoe RST this week. It’s a really awesome and well thought out setup by Magnuson.
hope Peter got a chance to drive it, love to hear his comments!
I love peter wear a victory quote wreakers shirt haha I love that place
That giggling at the end says it all! A true car guy. woot woot! I enjoyed this episode.
Very entertaining and informative Alex and RoboPeter. "My wife snort laughed when Peter said "It's a boy!"🤣
Awesome build . Can't wait to see the CL65 getting finished
The constant smile on your guys' faces when you punch it really shows the difference in performace the best haha.
The most impressive feat here is dad putting the baby seats in the other car. Freaking magician!
lol peter using the "holy sh*t" bar.
‘For my wife’
Ya sure Alex. We know who it’s for
Definitely one of the best episodes Alex, awesome content for almost an hour! Keep it up bro..
You can secretly supercharge my car and won't have to worry about me getting mad. :P
Lol!
47:18 that's the universal sign of 2 buddies successfully building their race car or in this case truck.
I legit thought Peter was a cardboard cutout at first! LOL
I really enjoyed this! Thanks! Watching you guys light up on the test drive like a couple of kids was the best part. 🤣 Looking forward to the big reveal to your wife. Peter's awesome.
Omg, imagine your car is gone for 2 days for maintenance and it gets a supercharger 😂 I wanna leave my car for his next maintenance with you. I'll tell you 'I want the 2 day maintenance pack *wink* *wink*' 😂
Sweet!! I want to do this to my 05 Escalade 6.0
Great video, watching the green truck disappear in the back windows and Pete's face is awesome !
love seeing the snow in Mexico this time of year
The green dot on one gears tooth matches up with a green dot on the other gears base cylinder (between the two gears toward the center) as an alignment. If the gears are ever removed they should be reassembled with the two dots aligned.
Your always comeing up with something great always love watching your videos always something to learn it turned out great hope your wife loves it as much as you do cant wait to see her reaction
Omg man!! Cheesin’ ear to ear watching you guys make them pulls! Felt like I was in there with you guys haha Makes me want a supercharger sooo much more! Man that thing is just instant power! Soo cool! Gotta start saving my pennys🤑
Nice video 👍
"I'm a big bug expert in case you didn't know"😂
watched whole video without skipping well done Alex on keeping us entertained throughout.
Thanks brother!!
You know it's an LSC video when it's an hour long and you're happy, then you finish it all.
The reaction of peter when you went to try it feels me proud of you two. Well done 👍👏
The Joy on your faces when the car picked up speed after you supercharged, it was priceless. Lol Peter was so joyful. Lol fruits of Labor.
Family hauler is a 2015 Escalade ESV with 142,400 miles still running strong and smooth as ever.
The seatbelts holding you down is part of the crash detection system, if it senses you're about to crash and you're not able to do anything to correct it, it will tighten the seatbelts, among a couple other things. It's a automatic tension system.
Thanks genius
the tensioners won't fire until right before the airbags. these don't have electronic tensioners, they have explosive tensioners, that are fire once then replace or rebuild.
@@chubbysumo2230 they do have electronic seat belt tighteners for harsh driving conditions you can feel them more in sports mode
The legits wife is the 1 percent of wives who knows what a supercharger is for. So he had to hide it. Lol 😂
Does your wife actually watch your videos?
If so, what did she say when she saw WAHT you did ... ?
Following you for quite some time now - continue with the content you are much better than most, and keep being authentic!

After doing a few carbon cleanings, I recommend the BG44k over the crc spray, it just melts the carbon without much scraping at all.(edited, the product isn’t the 44k, but it is the intake and combustion cleaner).
@@BIasterXD you’re correct, I mis stated the product, it’s the air intake and combustion cleaner, but yes you need to put it in a spray bottle and spray it into the valves. It melts the carbon like nothing else I’ve used. And I’ve tried the crc spray and it’s not even close. Hard to get ahold of the product, but worth every penny. I did my 10cylinders and still have over half a can left.
This caddilacs are garbage. Transmissions go bad at 70k miles, Motor mounts at 50k miles, radiator reservoir around 90k, shocks at 70k, multiple electonics go bad, cheap brake design, plastic trimmings feels and are cheap, cheap paint job, cheap carpeted floors, seat foam goes flat at the edges, heated seats stop working at some areas, A/C and condenser can go bad on many models. The list is long, but a good car for mechanics. Thanks Cadillac!
I'd have to say my favorite part is when the green vehicle behind you quickly disappeared lol
