Default LTs and ORY installed! Video included

I finally got my Pace Setter ceramic coated longtubes and ORY installed on Friday. I also threw in a set of MSD wires and NGK TR55 plugs while I was in there. I won't say how long it took, but I'll say that I finally finished everything at 1:30AM Ran into a few snags along the way. Had to jack up the motor a little bit to get the driver side header in. It almost slid right in. Passenger side was a lot easier and had no problems. Had some help from one of my friends who posts on here as well so that was a good thing otherwise I would have been at it all night
I'm happy with the power increase. Definitely noticeable I'm not sure if I like the tone of the exhaust though. It's a little too raspy for my tastes while cruising so I may add a Borla XR-1 Muffler in the I pipe. Other than that, I get a little bit of vibration while excellerating but over all I'm happy. I think once I add the Borla I'll definitely be happier with the sound.

I was blessed, didnt have to do anything with the motor. The headers slid right in. But I am getting paid back as now I have a crank bolt stuck in the crank. Getting it removed tomorrow. hehe. But I remember the header install. That sound when you first crank her up is great. HEHE Congrats.

Sounds pretty good and glad to hear the install went "somewhat" smooth. But Brad's is still louder. LOL. Sorry dude, he told me the story.
