Default The guy at the local speed shop says.....

My 1.75" Kooks headers are way more than the car needs and the car will lose lots of low end power....He said I won't be able to install them without a lift.

....he said my car will not run well without the rear o2 sensors and that they are vital to engine management.

...he said he'd sell me a Hypertech chip that will cure the hesitation problems inherant to the LS1. What hesitation problem was he talking about?

...he said that f-bodies have a true dual exhaust from the factory.

My conversation with him reminded me how great it is to have a website like LS1tech and all the great vendors that sponsor it.

*steps down from soapbox*

I agree I'm thankful for the sites i'm on.

Sure we might need to sift through some posts and deal with things like that but you always can find good members who help.

I would have loved for him to put the car on a lift and show you a stock dual exhaust lol.

while you were at it you should have asked what sort of blinker fluid LS1's worked best with.

Tell him to go have himself neutered, so that he won't infect any offspring with his stupidity.
