Default Finally did it!

I finally got my LT's installed with ory am still on stock muffler..duno what muffler to get, i can def. feel a huge difference! i love how the car responds, its pretty much quite and sounds bad to me with the stock muffler on. i used Flowtech headers which fit OK they do hit at some point put with some lil bending everything is cool. i had a custom made 3inch ory at a local shop, the guy was awesome! gr8 job, had it made for 95 $ exactly ..ground clearance rocked here are some pics. no sound clips with stock muffler and yea i got slp lid too


the goods.


LTs on ( i duno why he put an O2 sensor there! i ended up welding it )


driver side was slightly pointed upwards wasnt a problem.


ory merge






custom ory






under car pic the only one i got for now.


and finally pic of my car lol


over all am happy with it except for the muffler, any comments and advices are welcomed

get a cutout and call it a day, that way you can sound stock whenever you want to be stealthy

I would still get a cut out, even when you get an aftermarket catback. Hooker and magnaflow are very popular choices for cat backs.

and one more thing i would have a cutout installed also when you put your catback in. It is a lot of fun to have a car that is really loud when you want it and quiet when you want it. Plus it is only like $30 for one.

I've been running an open cutout for over a year because it is really affordable and fun to drive really loud. I still don't know which catback to go with. From what I've read a lot people like there magnaflow and hooker catbacks especially when the car is cammed.
