Default finished the pace setter install gotta Q

i finally welded everything in pacesetters y pipe cats, hooker catback, im pleasantly suprised that it is not all that loud at idle. very steathly, and the boost in performance is AWESOME. my only question...i had a relatively high idle before i did the header install, but now that the lt's are in and i've logged about 50 miles on them with the new set up, its running perfectly...is that normal for the car to run better with lt's than with factory equipment?

i haven't had a chance to get a dyno tune or even just get on a dyno, i dynoed 303 rwhp stock where do you suppose i should be at n/a? with the catback and whisper lid i dynoed 313 if that helps any. reguardless they passed the SOTP test with flying colors what a mod!!!

wot sounds just wicked.
