LG Long Tubes installed but....
Okay just threw on the LG long turbs, deleted the cats , with a B & B Exhaust....
Sounds freaking amazing on acceleration and inside the car but outside the car seems like more road noise, or exhaust ticking.... I have checked the header gaskets and seal against the engine and everything is trq'd , all the clamps are tight and sealed so I dont know if this is normal or what maybe I missed a bracket or its just not sealed.... I am going to check it this weekend but if its normal then whatever.
I figured it was because I removed the cats.

Tempe,AZ ... I am researching a cam as we speak, I dont know if I will do heads quite yet, I have spend a lot of freakign money so far so might slow up a little, but cam will happen with in 60days.... I have rotors and pads to install, braided brake lines, 160 thermo, some other small things. So once I get that all on I will move to the cam and valve springs, push rods etc.
I just didnt expect so much noise from the headers, not a bad thing but whatever.

What cam are you leaning towards ?? small, medium, big, or huge ?? G5X3 version II is what I am running and its on the big side. Makes tons of power, see sig for rest of mods. At any rate don't be afraid to go big. However big cams do cause you to change you dual valvesprings more often. Consider the G5X3 version II
