I do like them. Just wish it was lighter. I can tell that those things will sound sweet with a nice catback, even better with LT's.

What can you shed?...300-400lbs? That still leaves you with a ~3600lb car.

True, but then dont look at the negatives. Look at is as your .3-.4 faster than you were before, and it didn't cost you a dime.

I strongly agree. That's the first thing that jumps out to me. You can't have a wide body car, and throw some ***** *** lookin 225's on it. GM know's better than that.
