LG delete pipes arrived today! Will get them on this weekend and hopefully hit the dyno sometime next week. If not, it will be the week after next

I would add a cut-out as well.
I bet there are decent gains from that alone.

I paid 1200 shipped for my kooks true duals without cats... it's not 1600 bucks if you know how to use a phone and put in some effort

Hit the dyno today. I didn't reprint the graph because the torque reading was all jacked up. lol it read like I had 942tq. As expected since I saw my cats turned out NOT to be clogged. It gained 4hp up top, BUT in mid 3k rpms she picked up 16hp!!! Sooo all in all 489/486. Im happy. My tuner got her running much smoother than before. A cam my size, with my power and I can roll in 4th gear at 35-37mph and just as smooth as butter Decided not to port the intake. I mean I know Id see the 500 and probably not much over it. Not gona chase numbers. Car feels awesome!!! Saw 6th gear for a few minutes today around 75mph and she manages 23-25mpg. Ill take it!!!!

Good news. IMHO the extra tuning is probably the main portion of the increase in power with the removal of the CATS providing the rest of the increase.

What octane gasoline are you using? Out here in California all we can get is 91 octane.

The reason I asked is that you can get a little more aggressive with the tune if you are using 93 octane.
