Got them from PWebb above . . .took a little trip to FW/Denton last weekend. Got them installed and drove out of my friends driveway last night about. . . .1145ish.
LOVE the way it sounds, just paranoid now about scraping. Going to have to heat the shiznit out of them and tuck them more.

Posted last night about 12:20ish AM.. .. .. BTW, yesterday was my 18th wedding anniversary w/the same wife and had plans of getting this done early in the afternoon. . .taking her out to dinner. . . My 9 year old daughter tells me this morning, "Mommy was all dressed up to go out for dinner and you didn't come home."
Literally been home 3 minutes from getting the flanges welded in place and the back end of the duals mounted up. . . I like the sound during accelleration ALOT! I'll be considering turndowns soon from what I can tell also. Ended up scraping the pipes pulling into the shallow part of my driveway, but that was with my oldest daughter in the car too....
I like them, but I estimate they're hanging about 3" from the ground. They didn't tuck like the headers do
I'll have to work on that, but they sound GREAT when I'm accellerating!!!
CK: Pics are not uploaded from my home computer, but John was patient and from about 8ish last night until about 11:30, we wedged, moved and finegled the pipes into place. Fitment is 'ehhh...'
PT: Video will come later, possibly the weekend if my wife lets me even say the word "car" in her presence inside the next 3 months. . .really!
PWebb: Motormounts are stock, so I don't know if they're shot. Would guess fine since no wierd sounds when I'm hitting the gas & all. . .
LS1WS9TA: I'm hoping for .2 extra in the 1/4, so maybe 20ish HP? I'm pretty traction limited at the track even w/the slicks (need to get ET Streets vice drags), so I'll be happy w/dyno increase of 20+ and I got all the parts & labor pretty cheap. . .Oh and I'm not getting it tuned until I do the cam (hopefully inside the next 3 months also).

i'll bet you anything you take those old mounts off and put in some new poly mounts and you'll feel a difference. i though my mounts were still good until i took them out and saw the rubber wasnt doing anything, just sitting there.

Here you go, hear it to your hearts content. The picture is crap since it was dark, but it's the sound. I don't think I take it over 2K rpm for the 28 second video. It sounds REALLY nice at speed

Now, is that a TEASER or what? I'll have to have a friend tape me driving by or something soon...
