Default Just installed my headers today!

So after about five hours of monkeying with my car, my buddy (chaseSS) and I just got done installing my new pacesetter headers! Man I tell you what, after hearing that thing just start up, I knew those five hours paid off! It was amazing everything fit like a dream. I have never gone through working on my car with very little problems but this would have to be a first. The headers went right in and the ORY pipe bolted perfectly (after about 30 mins. of adjusting the cat back) in with my stock cat back. At first I was thinking that the stock cat back would drone out some of the sound and you wouldn't be able to tell a difference but I was VERY wrong. With having the stock cat back on there the car's idle isn't too much louder than w/ the stock headers but the minute you get on it, it SCREAMS!

So the ORY bolted right up to the stock cat-back? I thought it was supposed to bolt up to a 3" cat-back. i ask because I am about to do the same thing.

Yeah its supposed to but I think my I-pipe was 3" but I'm not really sure. All I know is that it worked, it looks good, and sounds amazing!

Yeah stock piping is 2.75". I know a guy selling hooker LT's for $200 with the ORY. I have stock I-pipe with a flowmaster welded in place of the stock muffler. So I was just wonderin' if the ORY mated up with the 2.75" piping.

Can anyone else chime in?
