LPP Header and Y install with Maxflow catback. Well, it took longer than expected but whatever, also would like to point out I had to extend my front O2 sensors, which I thought wasn't going to need to be done. They are in after 8hrs of solid work. Took so long because I basically just had a helper that couldn't actually participate in hard work lol. So.....when it was all said and done its badass sounding and loud. Man I missed the loud sound. Here are the pics. Nothing out of the ordinary besides the O2 deal. Definitely noticed more top end power, 1st to 2nd just blows the tires off all of 2nd and 2nd to 3rd will give it a little spin instead of the previous chirping it was doing. The Fitment of the headers was great and the y-pipe went in without a problem except for my I-pipe was a tight fit and had to be welded over. OVERALL: quality of headers is top-notch. Highly recommended
arrived
me yay
My Headers next to roomies C32 headers(which are getting sent back for refund because of poor quality)
install
how high?!
helper
out with the old
in with the new
y height
I'll get sound clips soon enough, give me today and tomorrow to get it all set up. Overall I dont have any rasp or drone really. so its a sweet setup.

Well, as the only other Maxflow catback user on this board, I look forward to your vid. No doubt the sound won't be as soft as with stock manifolds.
I have a custom catted Y with XS headers (earlier version of LPP) and have been happy with the absence of rasp with the Maxflow. I'll be interested to hear how yours sounds with the ORY. It was the first thing I ditched trying to tame the rasp with my previous GMMG.

Does it sound as good as my GMMG? No. But it IS quieter when I want it to be. Does it weigh about thirty lbs. less than my previous set-up? Yes. Does it flow as well? Probably better.
Had our first day at the track last week and my times were good for 2200' DA. Looking for a new best when we get some good air.

Dude, I'll get a sound clip up before too long ... we were enjoying a nice spring that suddenly turned into winter all over again today. Had to pull my Blizzaks out of the basement and bolt them on.

I thought GMMG is one of the better flowing exhasuts?

GMMG is a good flowing catback ... there was some kind of turbo muffler on my car when I bought it. Bolting on my GMMG felt like adding, well, a turbo.
But a Hooker Maxflow flows as well as an equivalent length of straight pipe. No loss. I don't think GMMG picks up any power by splitting the 3" pipe into dual 2.5" and running them through the dented chambers - not to mention the extra bends and tubing required to get it out both sides. Plus that makes it heavy.
My Maxflow is 14" of straight-through 3" flow. Simply the best flow available. 13 lbs. And reasonably quiet too.
