Re: Just ordered TPIS Headers! (NASCAR314)
I have 3 inch flowmaster 2 chambers on, punched my cats out about a year later. Didn't really notice much difference in the volume. I have a custom made hpipe where the resinator was. I hear the headers will make it a little louder. The only thing is on long trips like 2-3 hours at a crusing hwy speed I have to keep it in 5th so I don't get a headache from the 2000-2200 rpm
(i can't spell) resenence? :confused:
Anyways round town I love the way my car sounds, of course every mustang driver takes notice and either won't play or tries :lol:
I HATE MUSTANGS! Just thought I'd get that off my chest!
James!

Nascar314,
You're right partycove is fun, gotta watch for the damn Water Patrol though!
I live about 5 mins by water from there! Although I recently got divorced and my ex-B*&%^ Won my Baja! Oh well thats better than half of my business!

GS470,
I say go with the TPIS 52mm, I haven't been to the track yet. But no BS I noticed a difference right away. Throttle response rocks, super sensitive! Pulls very smoothly. I like going with the hand modified stock piece anytime I can over an assembly line piece. Better attention to detail. Plus They are $40 less than the BBK's i've seen. Easy to install took about 20 minutes!

Jeff - Here's the pics of the headers. If there's something specific you wanted to see, let me know and I can take more pics. The collectors are 3" OD.

Re: Just ordered TPIS Headers! (James94LT1)
Right about dead in the middle of Missouri. I dunno if you've ever heard of The Lake of the Ozarks. Or maybe about our world famous party cove? :cheers:
The lake has more miles of shoreline than the west coast! Its basically a bunch of big rivers they flooded. I moved here from Kansas City, Mo about 2 years ago. Boating is my other passion and there is no better place to boat in MO that the Ozarks! check out http://www.partycove.com

I also raced my rental car at Mid American just outside of Wentzville. Is that place still open???????? It was a track right out of the '60s.
