Default Pacesetters are on finally....What a difference

Finally had a good weekend so i decided to install the Lt's. Everything went awesome, no issues whatsoever. (Except for 2 badly cut up hands) I did have to remove the steering shaft to get the driver side header in, but I dont think that is an issue. No y pipe banging or anything!!! And as far as performance gains, I noticed a huge difference right away, the car pulls harder faster at a much earlier rpm. I actually nailed the rev limiter for the second time ever cause the car got away from me so fast. One of the best mods I have ever done to any car, as far as actually being able to feel the difference. Anybody whos thinking about Lt's should definatelly go for it!!

Its stock, but its the slp dual/dual wich supposedly flows very well. I actually liked the way it sounded with gutted cats and the stock manifolds better than after the headers are on. Its not bad at all, but I kind of notice a glasspacky sound upon initial acceleration, still sounds pretty good though.
