Finally got SLP LT's in and went for a drive!!
Well after the most PITA install known to man and hurting myself a couple of times I got these suckers all the way in. I could not get the catback to fit right so I had to have muffler shop put it back on for me. Anyways I drove around the block and made sure everything was ok at first and then I gunned it(this was without catback). Holy crap the car went sideways in first, and spun for a good 20-30 ft when I hit second and just kept on pulling after that, I am pretty happy but I think I am running rich now,, the smell is real bad. Well I decided to have some fun on my way to have the catback put on so I stopped and got gas and went to a couple of stores. Let me tell you I had more compliments and stares without the catback than I have ever had. It was cool as sh*t. Everyone at the gas station was staring at me and one guy was like "damn". Needless to say I was sideways out of the gas station as well. Then I stopped at home depot to get some spacers for my y pipe brace and again nothing but looks and one of the employees yelled that my car was cool. Sigh its now bringing tears to my eyes. I finally made it to my muffler shop and had them put on the hooker catback. Now it sounds real good with no rasp which makes me happy. I also got lucky cause my y pipe isn't banging (yet). I would give the SLP LT's a good rating other than the damn install, there is a noticable power increase as proven by the traction issues and the car is pulling much better now. Now I just have to force myself to go to the dyno and I may get electric cutouts cause of all the freaking compliments I got today. Sorry so long.
