Default finished LT, ORY, and intake install

I just finished installing a bunch of goodies on the car. BBK LT's and ory, ls6 intake, poly mm, and got a mail order tune by frost. All I can say is OMG!! the car is a totally different animal, and I love the sound of it with the flow master exhaust. It would've been a big "pita" without all the info from you guys on the forum!!

I pretty much have the same setup going, minus the ls6 intake. LT, ORY with a flomaster 80 series. great sound. will be getting a frost tune in the next couple days so im very curious on how it will drive. thought about getting a different muffler but don't really have the spare cash. How much horsepower loss are we really talking about with the flomaster? 5-10 hp at the wheels? would it make a difference at the track?

I know the flowmaster isn't any good, I bought it used for $100 when I bought the car just to give it some sound. I'll most likely go with the true dual set up from TSP in a few months.

How do you guys think my car would do with the mods in my sig against a stock 98 C5? My buddy has been running his mouth for a few months now.

I also just did PaceSetters, TSP y, poly MM, frost tune... all through a Flowmaster 80-series. For years we've said Flowmaster's are junk on these cars because of their crossflow design; however, I can not recall any empirical evidence to confirm this.

To put things into perspective, before I did the LT's/y, I went 12.8 @ 109 with a lid, ported TB/FRA and the Flowmaster. If it sucks that bad I don't think I'd have ran that good

Sounds awesome!! I can't wait to put my TSP LTs and TSP ORY on. They've been sitting for over a week so it's been killing me I already have the SLP FlowPac intake package and the loudmouth so it's going to be kinda loud
