Default Cartuning 3" Downpipe and Custom Rear Manifold/Header

A few pics of the 3" Cartuning down pipe set up and Cartuning rear manifold. This is a mock up motor that I have which makes test fitting a little easier! Possibly another 100 hp lurking with this set up. Picking up the Cartuning built trans this weekend, so should have it all back together in a few weeks. Then, a little tuning!

The goods look very nice although I'm am not a fan of Cartuning any more do to the fact I called kevin almost 3 weeks ago asking about the same crossover,dp, and rear mani he said they don't normally don't sell there stuff that way but said to send him an email about it and he would get back to me about a price and still hasn't.

Here's a pic of what is included in the Cartuning LS4 5.3 V8 3" Down Pipe and Custom rear manifold/header upgrade kit. Also includes 3" electric cutout, crossover, and rear ignition wires (longer length). Cost is $1500 and you must send them your standard Cartuning LS4 kit crossover, 2.5" downpipe, and 2.5" cutout.

Not needed. The front manifold is a very good design and flows well.

What "if" you already have headers? Would that still work? Nice set-up, btw...

Beautiful setup. I love the lines and the integration of the cutout.

I see that you have the LS6 intake on your mockup motor. Will that be new to the setup for this year? I can't wait to see what you run.

Finally, I love that the valve covers are painted Chevy engine orange (or close enough).
