Sounds great but that looks like an LTZ. Weird.

 

Its a sleeper kinda cool.

 

This is gonna be a bitchin christmas present man. I'm gonna get the rest of the exhaust and cold air intake to top it off and really give it a noticeable horsepower change. I hope nobody else has ordered these headers on a Monte Carlo SS yet in St.Louis. It's gonna be be one hell of a trip hearing the car after it's done. I tell ya what I really can't wait for....is when I get just them on there minus the exhaust.....and I start that bad boy 325 beast with no pipes.lol. Hope the neighbors don't call the cops.

Happy motoring gentlemen. May the green lights shine and sky be blue. Over and out.

 

Minus the V8 emblems! lol

 

Yeah, I had them laying around the garage; the jury is still out on those.

All the SS emblems have been taken off, trunk strip applique changed from body color to chrome, front seat headrests have been swapped in favor of plain leather ones from an LTZ (the "SS" originals are bagged up and in storage), the 17" wheels/tires are from an LT (original 18s were taken off at 3,000 miles, bagged & stored), and I swapped out the "SS" airbag emblem for a gold bow tie. I love the double-takes I get from my clients and colleagues at the office.

 

No, it's cool man! I wasn't getting down on your car. I'm all about a sleeper. I tell people I race it's a 3.8L SC car. They know what it is when the cutout gets opened at the line though.

 

sounds good...what were the dyno results??? any engine shots?

 

Hey Buick racer...what color are those headrests?

 

See page 7 of this thread; you'll find pics of the prototype headers installed and a dyno sheet.

 

My car came with the ebony leather interior.

 

I'm not necessarily into the whole "sleeper" thing, but it's hard to argue with a good looking Impala, sleeper or not.

 

I was hoping they were gray, I would've taken them off your hands.

 

I had saved up to pay for the headers, and now i'm out, i'll be giving the shop a call to let them know. Trans when out yesterday, so now i know where my moneys going.... damn it.

 

Are they going to give you your money back? That's not really how deposits work. Kinda defeats the purpose of a deposit.

 

No i never gave my deposit, i saved up to pay it in full. Im going to be calling them to let them know that i wont be able to buy them. They recently called and i havent been able to respond. Unless my "extended warranty" covers it. and i pay nothing. but i doubt thats going to happen without a fight.

 

can we get some fly by videos or even just some idling videos?

 

Not at the moment...the prototype headers are off the car now and being used to set up the production run. Once I get a production set reinstalled on the car I'll try to get another video or two.

 

damnit!

 

I talked to Frank thursday morning, he said they were already up to 30 deposits, but were wanting 40. I mentioned the rumor of them dropping the price down to $599 if they got enough deposits and he really didnt give off a positive vibe............but not necessarily a negative one either. I plan on making my down payment this week, I'd love to see a slight price drop for all the first timers!!!

 

So there are 41 people on the list now. How are the deposits coming?
