Default American Racing LT's Install pics!!!
Finally the long tube are in and the car is re-tuned and ready to roll!!!!
Here are some pics for all you F-body lovers!!!
Ground clearance is great, couldn't be any happier
my car gained 19.5 rwph and 24.4rwtq, I want to give a special thanks to Mike Norris at Norris Motorsports for doing a great job on my car with the installation and my re-tune and also American Racing for the great set of LT's, I couldnt be any happier. Now I gotta go the race track and see what she will do, enjoy the pics!!!

Did you have stock manifolds before, or a different set of headers? Was the SLP bullets on already before? Nice gains.

Nice gains now get a stall and you can break them loose in 3rd.

Nice pics and good numbers.

I'm curious, though... Why are there 4 02 sensors?

Nice looking setup. I did notice that the driver's side header and collector are a lot shorter than most longtubes but that might be to give the y-pipe the space to bend down to clear the floor brace. It still looks like it would be a real tight fit to squeeze dual cats in there. NJ is really tough on inspection and they stick a mirror under the car to look for the cats so I'm putting dual cats on my car.

I had a dyno tune 2 months before long tubes. The 20 rwph gain was from long tubes including just a little re-tune, thanks, I hope this helps

Looks Great! How did you exhaust note change, if at all? More specifically, did the 2 into 1 merge on that Y-pipe help get rid of any rasp?

Definitely, throw in something like a Yank SS3600 or bigger and you'll love it!
