Well here she is all done. It was a long day of wrenching with those *&$#@ spark plug wires. No leaks, no codes, temps are good, oil pressure is good. Now this is what a Corvette should idle like from the factory.

However I now have a problem, when I listen to the exhaust I can tell it's trying to huff through through the stock system. Sounds like a pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft you know what I mean. I was hoping to keep the car stock looking but that ain't gonna happen now. This thing wants to breathe and I'm choking it.

Still I can definately feel a seat of the pants boost and it's smooth as silk. I'm wondering if the computer needs to do some learning and how much better a tune could make it.

Kickass! I love it. Headers and x pipe is a must to allow this cars potential to come out. Try this. Dyno it befor and after exhaust work. I predict youll see another 40 hp. Be patient with tune work. Tune is everything from here on!
