that's good news. I was worried about driving to the tuner. Seems like your install went very smooth. I'll be waiting for the clip. Does it lope pretty good?

Yeah its lopes good, not as much as I thought it was going to though. The install couldn't have gone any better. The crazy thing is I never drilled the throttle body or moved the idle screw or anything, I just put it back together and fired it off. No problems.
The video is processing.

you really dont need 2 unless your running a big cam like a ms4, just keep it under 3000rpms until you get it tuned......a few of my friends drove there cars 40miles to the local tuner with no problems, but it wouldnt hurt if u had a trailer and just took it over there....and make sure to keep an eye on your oil pressure

Here's the video I hope it works. Sorry but I don't have a heat cycles on the springs yet so no revs.

Edit: GMmexican my oil pressure is like 60 lbs at idle. If you guys are planning on a oil pump the LPE sells a oil pump for $97 it works great so far.

This is the one. http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/12571885.html
Yeah it would definately be awesome to have a cutout. If I get another exhaust setup I will have cut outs

no i'm not to worried about them. I have been lucky so far but we'll see what happens when a cop gets behind me at a light. I will eventually run my duals out the back so its not so obvious

Careful though... with the exhaust being pushed right out the back, if you're catless it is (IMO) much easier to tell. Maybe I'm just immune to my own car, but following mine when a friend drove it, it wasn't too bad. Good luck.

I have dynomax bullets. So a cam will make my exhaust like 2 times louder?

I have videos in my sig of stock and cammed start ups. Decide for yourself

Bear in mind that the fact that the exhaust tone has breaks in it with the cam composes most of the difference, but regardless.
