First major mod...LT's are on!
Got my system finished up today after having it sitting in the garage with open headers for a couple weeks. It's the first "big" mod for the Z. Up next will be cam and UD pulley but that's probably a ways down the road. I might get it tuned soon but not decided yet. The system is FLP LT's, cat delete tubes fabbed up to 2.5" pipe to join my ARK ORX and finally into my Ti mufflers. I installed the LT's myself and spent about $560 for everything since I got the LT's used on the auction site. Who says you have to pay $1K for full exhaust? It's pretty quiet at idle/light throttle as expected but just about perfect at WOT. I rung it out a couple times but being 15 degrees outside on the original F1's made my AH/TC work it's *** off! Here's some pics attached. I didn't lose any ground clearance so I'm very pleased.

I'm also a member of the less than 1 grand full exhaust club ($850). Congrats on your purchase. My el cheapo headers and catback nettet me 112mph in the 1/4 with the only other mod being a vararam and tune (stock LS1 intake manifold)

Thanks, I'll probably end up getting an HPTuners file from another intake/exhaust C5Z and have someone flash it for me. I won't be camming it anytime soon so there aren't too many more mods I can do in the meantime. The next one I would do is an UD pulley but with how much that sucks I'll wait until the cam.

Yeah thats probably a smart choice,..the camshaft/pulley, is a beotch. Don't blame you one bit. Hp tuners works well,...as do alot of various programs. I use diablosport, and love it. Let me know if you can't find help with hp tuners.
