Texas Speed Longtubes

Texas Speed Longtubes
Simple question.
I just ordered a set of these:

Now obviously since this is the offroad pipes, I'll need a tune. My question: how badly is it going to run while I take it from my home to the tuner? I'll do the install myself, of course, but I don't have my own dyno, and it's about 60 miles to get there.

As mentioned above, you'll be fine driving to the tuner. I've driven mine with full exhaust + ls6 intake on a stock tune for months without any problems - I'm awaiting a full H/C/I build over the winter to get her dynoed.

Not entirely true. Have you guys had your car on a dyno for a baseline pull? I know when I did, mine leaned out dangerously especially at WOT. Just because it "feels" ok, doesn't necessarily mean it's running right. Without testing with a wideband O2, you're just guessing and hoping it's running ok.

You'll be alright. I drove my ws6 for a couple weeks without a tune and I just put headers on a friends c5z this week and we drove it Texas Speed about an hour fifteen away from us to pick up spark plugs and wires driving "spiritedly" along the way lol

Little perturbed at the moment.
When I order my longtubes and X-pipe, their web site indicated that they would be out of stock until "late October". Now here it is, November 5th, and I've not heard anything. I've emailed them with no reply. Just emailed them again. Anybody else having problems with them?

That will be next, if there's no reply to the second email. By that point, it'll be simply to demand a refund, if they're not any more responsive to customers than seems to be the case.
I work nights, which makes contact with people during "normal" hours problematic.
