Default Finally Got TSP LT's (Pics, Vids and Review)

I've waited along time for this moment, I was able to finally get longtubes and a tune. I went with the stainless TSP 1 7/8's with ORY and had Speed, Inc. do the installation and tuning. Parts used.....

-TSP 1 7/8 LT's
-TSP 3" ORY
-Mr. Gasket steel header gaskets.
-O2 sensors and extensions.
-NGK TR-55 plugs.
-MSD Superconductor 8.5mm wires.
-Basic Tune

Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the outcome and I can officially appreciate my vehicle. The polished stainless longtubes look sick in the engine bay and underneath. I really like the sound too, I kept the stock SLP Dual/Dual catback so it has a nice mellow tone at idle and a agressive roar at WOT; making it a sleeper. I noticed the performance instantly when I broke it in on the highway, not too raspy with the ORY. I will definitely recommend this product to anyone, great quality and a affordable price. Took some pics after the install, I'll post a sound clip tomorrow.





Looks way better without the EGR/AIR.....

Nice man. I also plan on getting the TSP LTs, ORY and keeping my dual/dual. How was the fitment with the ORY? Can't wait to hear the sound clip because mine will likely sound the same

I didn't do the actual install but the fitment looks superb, there's no banging or rattling while driving. You'll like it, the SLP is a great catback. Sound clip for sure tomorrow so stay tuned.

I didn't do the full dyno tune, just did the basic so no dyno run. I'll save that for a dyno day sometime this summer but looks like I may be putting down a strong 330-335 HP.

What exactly is a "basic tune" with no dyno runs from a speed shop? Just a canned tune like Frost uses?

It started to rain over here so I'll try to get a good sound clip later this afternoon and with a pic of my tips. The wire mod is def in the to do list lol, clean engine bay you got there.

Basic Tune:
• Desired fan activation temp (for low temp t-stats)
• Torque management removal (a must for LSx automatic cars with aftermarket converter)
• Rear O2 sensor codes deleted (for cat-delete cars)
• Speedo calibration (for gear and tire height changes)
• Desired idle speed (for "lopey" cams)
• Skip shift function delete
• Shift points optimized
• Injector size changes

I just felt I didn't need the full dyno tune until I do more serious internal engine work. They'll be some dyno days going on this summer most likely so I'll for sure strap up then.

Looks good! Could you easily DAily drive this setup. I plan on doing 1 3/4 LT's no cats and this exhaust. I've never heard it in person but alot of people say just what you said. Mellow around town and idle and a monster at WOT.

I've always read that a tune is a must when going with LT's, otherwise your mileage will suffer and your performance won't be anywhere near optimal.

A basic tune is all you really need for this type of job.

How do you like those header gaskets? How do they compare to OEM?

Ask and you shall receive.....

I just noticed after the install that the driver side tips is slightly lower then the passenger side, not sure if they had to drop the catback when installing LT's/ORY but now it sits lower then the other but I'll just deal with it or take it to a muffler shop in due time to align it.


But they should normally look like this (old pic, all stock)...
