FLP Headers Install
Well finally got my FLP headers installed :) :) All I can say is they ROCK
When I selected FLP I wasn't looking for the last nth of HP I could squeeze out but a a complete system of good value. While some header may give more HP and some may be cheaper I think for my situation I got what I was looking for.
Fit and finish was excellent except for tab on one header that bolts to bell housing. Took a little persuasion (2 lb hammer) to get it in place.
Also install NGK TR55 (Copper) plug and Magnecor Wire at same time.
Installed them last weekend by myself in the garage (no lift). Haven't been able to drive due to rain, rain, rain :( :(
Thursday :) :) At last NO RAIN here :) :)
Took vette out for a DRIVE this afternoon and SOTP meter jumped up pretty good. :) :) :)
If you looking for SOUND then I must recommend the FLP headers with the High Flow Cats and Corsa Indys. Absolutely Screams at WOT but no resonance at cruise speed in 6th.
I finally found the sound I was looking for. :) :) :)
Will drive for a while then do autotap and adjust MAFT. I understand that headers will lean car out a little.
No I didn't dyno but may later on this summer.

Those pipes look great, may see ya this weekend, I understand that your going to install some stuff on AFVETTE car. I just may tag along. BTW, Tom and I just installed my Hurst shifter tonite. That darn pin inside the cover of the shift **** was alot of fun getting out. Almost returned the Hurst to Shawn at LAPD it was no fun. But, the job is finished, it's a real nice short throw.
If Tom doesn't want the X-Pipe, (not happining) I'll take it.

What Levi said... the FLP's are the best! Trust me, I've tried a couple different brands and the FLP's have got 'em all beat, IMHO.

I only had it about 15-16 inches off the ground.
