Right now she is just a dyno queen... I am not too much of a drag queen...

I need to save up some money for some DR's and a clutch before she hits the strip. My Toyo T1's used to grip like football spikes but now it feels like I have donuts out back There is no way I could get a decent launch with those...


maybe this winter eh?


EDIT: I don't see any numbers posted in your sig for your beast... I bet that is doing low 11's

I have Mac headers and ORY with Magnaflow catback and this year got two tickets from different cities for the car being 'too loud'.

I am having Magnaflow cats reinstalled this week to avoid tickets.

BTW - here is a clip of the car before I had the cats removed:

I admit that when I was stock and put the magnaflow on that it was quiet. Now that I have LT's, ORY, and a cam it's a LOT louder than stock. Maybe you're just used to loudness now and you forgot how quiet a stock car is. On top of that I just open up the cutout for a little insane loudness.

The tune isn't a must but it's nice to delete out the rear O2's if you don't want to use sims. I had access to a lift so I put on lt's and my ory in about 5 hours and it all fit together fine. It was kind of hard to get the y to meet the catback but I just unbolted the catback and slid it back to get clearance for the two to meet. For the front O2's you will need sensor extensions...most sponsors sell them.

I dont have longtubes, but my mac midlengths, OR y-pipe, and magnaflow is stil kinda quiet to me. Up top it gets kinda loud and sounds really good, but at idle, you cant here my cam enough. I think I am going to do some longtubes next and if that doesntwake it up alot sound and hp wise, then I will do a cut-out.

QTPs with their HVMC (high velocity merge collectors) have really stolen the stainless header scene away from Kooks (or at least it seems so..)

I believe the general concensus on Kooks is they are a great header and a great product, but with the HVMC now included on all QTP headers, it just is the better buy. IMO if you're going stainless, go QTP.
