Default Couple Of Questions

1. i have a set of jba headers with the stock y-pipe and a slp loudmouth catback-exhaust system. i just got a offroad y-pipe that gets rid of the cats. I was wondering if anyone knows if its ok to get rid of the cats because i heard it throws off the timing and screws up the backpressure?

2. does anyone know if 15" wheels will fit on a 98 ls1? If so can you recommend a good set of 15" wheels for drag racing and what size i would need? (i wanna run the widest tire i can.)

3.What is the largest diameter and width tire you can fit on a ls1?

4. last question: where do the 02 simms get installed?

Thank you very much!

Default Re: Couple Of Questions

1. I suggest buying a pre-made offroad pipe.

2. With grinding on the calipers or contact Performance Parts Outlet ---->
They have a wheel specially made to fit our car. I suggest 26x10.5 ET Streets.

3. You can go to a 28" tire, but requires a little massaging.

4. You can install them yourself... order them from one of our sponsors.
