Successful QTP HVMC Install After 8 hours of wrenching,jamming, cutting and saying every four letter word I know my car now has longtubes. Hooking up AIR and EGR wasn't too bad, the oxygen extensions were easy but it took awhile to make them not hang and to not touch any of the tubes. I had to drop the starter,dipstick tube and the passenger coil pack(which went in with one less bolt than it came out with, I mean who in the **** put a bolt back there and what about the God damn spike strip thats on top of it.) My rear o2s are not plugged in and I drove it about 8 miles back to my house, it sounds a little too much like a log truck to me though. I was surprised that no SES light has come on yet. I have 2 magnaflow converters that will get put into a y pipe this week. All in all it seems like a very good quality product.

Well my dad was behind me on the ride home, so I tried to keep it under 2000 rpms so that might be why it sounded like that. Everything in the cab shook so that was cool.

Did you have a lift? I'm curious about how much that would have helped. Maybe I'm just fat and slow haha. Why are you switching? I think I'm just gonna use the LM1 that came on it, I can always Borlamouth it and nobody around here wants to run duals.

I gotta tell you, LT headers into any kind of open catback like a LM sounds pretty truck-like. With my open cutout, my car sounds pretty terrible under 3000 rpms 
It sound mean as hell at WOT though. The tone sucks, but it's definitely mean.
