Longtubes, Catted Y, SLP LM2, Brakes installed! PICS **UPDATE FOR VIDS**
Dropped my car off with a local Trans AM nut on Thursday to have some mods installed...Poly Motor mounts, LSXtreme longtubes with their catted Y and some drilled/dimpled brakes with new pads.
First of all, anyone who doesnt like the Loudmouth exhaust can pound sand, best sounding LS1 I have heard was with the LM2 and stock manis/cats.
Enter longtubes.....*oh the rasp and drone*, well go pound sand again! Car sounds incredible, just perfect. Nice and loud at idle, quiet up to 2500RPMs, then it opens up into a whole new screaming sound, just brutal. The car went from fast to noticably faster, kick you in the pants fast, push you in the seat fast. From 0-100 anywhere the car just feels powerful. The motor mounts made the car feel stiffer, with no added vibration, DO NOT hesitate to install the poly mounts!!
The car is just perfect now, sound and power wise, I love it. Here are some under shots and some pics for my buddys shop in Raymond, NH who did the install. In his own words, "nothing was too hard to install, those motor mounts were kind of a pain" from such a soft, well spoken guy this means something. He devised some sort of zip-tie trick to install them. Everything is awesome now. Best mod for this car to date is the longtubes, hi fow cats, and SLP LM2.
Huge thanks to LSxtreme for such a clean Y pipe merge, just a beautiful product. Flowmaster merge can bow down, this thing is perfect.
Enough of me blabbing, let me ***** some pics.
Name of the Shop is EVENFLOW AUTOMOTIVE and the owners name is Scott Favara. Just a great guy.
Car is a little dirty, so be nice. Pretty clean underneath for being a Mass/NH/Maine driven car.
Camera is a little handheld guy, so sound is subpar...yes my ebrake light was on, sticky handle which I loosened and fixed after the drive. Some idle, startup, and driving videos...nothing WOT, it is wet here. Maybe some WOT vids when it dries up. Enjoy!

Since many people will ask, no I cannot say how much the headers cost, just call Justin he is a decent guy. My own compliants with the headers were the EGR port was just at a horrible angle (need to visually pass Maine inspection) and the rear O2 didnt reach like they werent close and I had no indication to buy an extension, and shipping time was quite lengthy.
Other than that a great product and buy. Gonna talk to Frost about a tune and getting my codes deleted.

I run pretty much the same setup pacesetters, TSP catted Y, and LMII. I have no droning problems at all and i actually think it's quiet when driving around normally. With the gas hammered... thats a different story. Sounds like the Earths apocalypse 
Nice install

If anything would be TINT, been debating a debadge....but the car is just awesome as is.
The brakes look killer and I personally like the stock wheels, only other wheels I would run would be WELD drag wheels, but that would mean big tires, new rear end, and new clutch...so yeah prolly some TINT and then park it a the beach and let people drool over it.
Cute little STI gave me a go today, about 50-100 and we shut down, he was a few cars back, poor guy. All that money mommy gave him and he bought a Subaru.

You consider CAI, gets some more air into it now that you got that free flowing exhaust. good for 10 ponies or so.

Im glad i sold you the car and not some joker - seems like you are making all the right moves with this thing. Have you polished since you had it or are u stil livin off my coat of wax??

Thank you for the vids sir. I have a LMII and I'm debating on some LT's to get rid of these shortys on there now. It's hard finding sound clips of a full exhaust setup with LMII.
How does it compare to a LMI with longtubes?

Well here's another video it's a walk around on my car and start up... Got stainless longtubes, stainless offroad y pipe and a LM2 with a ms4 cam. Everyone thinks i have the cutout open when they first meet me. I love pulling up to people at lights when their talking on their cell phones they give me "the look" then try to roll up there windows, when they relize that won't work they just end the call, ending cell phone driving one driver at a time.

TImmy_Jones all you need is a nice cam in there
... Of course that means, if you like to play, then you have to do all the stuff i'm doing right now trans build, clutch, clutch master cylinder, rear suspension, and a rear end... Also the car sounds good at an idle a friend of mine has the same setup as mine on his GTO (only other thing done to the motor is a intake tho) and you can barely hear it at an idle and then when he starts going it gets alot louder.
