damn, that took you a while to do, did you do it br yourself?
i took everything off myself and a buddy helped me put everything on and it took us a total of 10 hours for everything.
my car feels sluggish down low too but i think a tune would help out with all of that.
after i put my exhaust on, i drove the car for the rest of the day

CONGRATS DUDE!!!
what did you do to get the car up high enough??
it might be feel less on the bottom end but give it a few miles the computer should adjust for you.

yeah thats the best is knowing you did the job yourself.
Unlike others who buy the cars already completed and modded, I see know sense of accomplishment in that!

Congrats on the install, I did my first set of headers and y-pipe 2 weeks ago with my Wife's help...took us about 4.5 hours, sliced 2 fingers open on those damn GM gaskets!! but it was worth it...quality time with the wife and car as well as saving a couple hundred bucks in labor.

yeah vince, seriously, matt and I just stared at each other in awe when we got both lines in in about 4 minutes compared to the 1+ hour fiddleing with those clips the first time. I should have some good news as to how my **** runs in a couple weeks.
