Default Longtubes are on WOW!

Just finished up installing my LG Longtubes with out cats, and what a differance. I have twin tip B&B Bullets and now with the headers this thing sounds wicked.
When I took it out for a ride the first thing I noticed was there really wasn't much drone anymore as compared to the stock exhaust. It's definatly louder, and at wide open throttle it sounds like nascar.
If the drone really is gone, that means I can get ear plugs in the center counsul.

Thats what I chose as well....

...I get calls from people that live near our highway......"dude...are you driving on the highway right now?.....your nuts"

...They tell me they can hear me everyday I go home. The LG's and B&B's are nucking futs.

Were the LG's a pretty straight forward install, any issues I am getting ready to buy?

Thanks

Remove colipacks..both sides....remove alternator........and I think thats about it. The passenger side is easy....the driver side is the opposite. Remove your spark plugs before you begin...remove ECT temp sensor, or simply unplug it so you don't ruin it. Should be it...I highly recommend having a friend help....

...a lift helps too

Glad to hear you like the no cat LG pro long tubes. I have the quad tip bullets. What kind of power did you pick up from the header install??

Today I drove the car around town to see how it would be in stop and go stuff. To my surpise low speed drivability is much better, that and not having avoid 1700 RPMs due to the drone. I can lug it in 5th gear and still no drone. The best part is just a quick downshift and all hell breaks loose .
This is so far the best mod I have done and if you don't already have headers I highly recomend them.
I bought a video camersa today, so once I figure it out i'll get a vid up
