Default Hooker LT's and y-pipe are installed

I finished up the install today. I look like I crawled over a 100 feet of barbed wire, but still in one piece. <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" /> Hooking up the EGR and AIR was a pain. I spliced it all back together with heater hose though and it seems to be fine. I think I rechecked everything before I started it for the first time except the crucial main plug for the pass side coil pack! Doh
I started it with that unplugged, it threw an SES right away, I shut it off. I looked and reconnected it, dissconnected the battery, and restarted with no SES light. I'm going to drive it around to put some miles on it tomorrow, hopefully with no more problems.
First impression, it's LOUD <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />
Really raspy since I have the cutout open too but I don't mind because it sounds mean <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I just finished today, I was taking my time. It was hot the last few days, didn't like working in direct sunlight. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Install was a cake walk for me, although some modification to my air tubes was needed (no EGR, blocked off). I love mine, as I am sure you do too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Put a bullet in the I pipe and that will take care of the rasp completly. At least it did for me. I like it loud, but hate the rasp at 2500 rpm's.

I installed my Hooker LTs and ORY on the 4th. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Seemed to me that it was much more difficult to get the stock manifolds out than it was to get the LTs in. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
