Default Headers are on

WOW is all I have to say, 6th is now usable LG advertises down low torque and comes through. The car is obnoxious WOT but actually quite nice idle and cruise speed...

Chris (Visceral) heard it and said it best it "barks" you kind of cruise and it just growls step on it and it sounds like a mean dog barking. Pretty cool, xpipe got rid of all the gurgling and popping. I'm pretty happy, I may put cats on it later to quiet it down a bit but will see...I actually like the way it sounds just want to be able to take it to the gym after work at Midnight without pissing off the neighbors..

Sweet, I bet that thing hauls a lot more *** now. I love the "bark" and throttle response that my headers gave my car!

I dont know how LG did it but thier headers have a whole different attitude when compared to anything on the market. If it tell you how good these things are, EVERY SIGNLE world challenge corvette in the Speed GT circuit uses LG's headers. I just wish he would make them for the Fbody.

Ha ha guys it was stock for like 6 months!!!! I didn't say I was going to keep it stock forever did I?.... maybe I did I can't remember

Todd if LT1 headers are a 10 on scale then the LS1 f-body headers are about an 6 and the C5 headers are about a 3.5. It was really pretty easy everything bolted up nicely and you have lots of room to work with. The Xpipe is EXTREMELY easy the whole layout has kind of a "kit car" feel to it like it was made to be messed with

This is, class, a perfect example of selective memory at work.

I am, however, glad you "forgot" and are taking it up a few notches! Riding in that thing is a blast. I need to figure out more reasons to get you to drive me around.
