I'm good to go.

The bolts and Gaskets arrived late today.

I hope to get it on a Dyno in the morning with the basically stock exhaust (except fot the Corsa's) so I can do a comparison of HP. Then I can go back after the install get another one. If I can get a 12-15 increase I'll be happy.

If I might offer a suggestion, see if you can find some beefier stock for those standoff tubes (the little pieces of tubing they include for bolting up the dipstick and the A/C brace). I'm going to do the same while mine are off.

Thanx for the spacer tip. I think I'll take care of that first thing while the hardware store is open.

Stainless Works 3" ZR-1 system. The pieces laying along side the X pipe are the chambered 3" "mufflers" that will go in place of the usual resonator. SW makes some beeeaUtiful stuff, huh?

It only hurts once, and then it's miles of smiles! I got in on a group purchase for the (LT5) SW headers (on the ZR-1 Net Registry) and we saved about $500 on the headers alone, from MSRP. That might be the way to go for the L98/LT1/4 boyz too.

I probably won't get a full report until late next week or so - my intention is to just freshen up the bottom end and have them throw in a HotCam as long as they have it apart. All depends on if there was cylinder damage, etc. Meanwhile, I guess I'll just work on sparkling up the engine bay
