That's a nice set-up.

I heard so much good about Pacesetters but I see that they have the O2 sensors on the inside. That's kind of dumb - I wonder why they did that? With the sensors on the outside the wires run right up the sub-frames.

dpw is definitely right. stay auto! Torque management is when your engine retards the timing while shifting to smoothen out the shift. It tries to cut back the power to make it easier for the tranny to handle. Oh, by the way, I have a cam on my 00 t/a with pacesetters and an x pipe with 3" 24" long bullets and mine have a deep loud rumble to them. Bad thing is that they are loud as hell outside and can drone out at 2krpms while driving. I should have my heads in about 3 weeks and I know it will only get louder but oh well my baby will dish 445, so I dont mind waking up a neighbor or two.

they may not run along the subframes but they dont hang down or anything so they dont cause any problems..

Is the bullets the deepest sounded ones or are the sweet thunder deeper and less graspy?
