Default First start up with G5X3

We put a G5X3 in my buddy's car last night. His mods are Pacesetter Longtubes, Lanes TD with the bullets. It sounds mean but needs a tune badly. OO and dont mind my dumb *** comments, I just get a little excited sometimes.

A little bigger than a G5X2, not by much. It makes a difference though.

He got it on a 112 but we think that LG motorsports fucked up and gave it to him on a 110.

nah, that sounds like a 112.

the x3 on a 110 wouldn't idle that good without a tune.

it would sound more like this http://www.ls1sounds.com/Borla/borla..._g5x4_00SS.MPG (right click - save as) on a 110.
