Today(thurs) I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with the boys from ECS; Chris, Doug, Mark, John and Mike...all a class act! Nestled in the plush woods of Cream Ridge NJ., the atmosphere was light and easy going; and listening to these guys bust on each other had me laughing all day!

The order of the day for me was a header install...a cool set of LG Streets, baseline tune, and my car lowered an inch around. Yeah she sure sits tight now!

I must add that last summer ECS installed a 4.10 rear in my car-a perfect install, with absolutely no problems with it since. Professionalism and customer service is alive and well at ECS!! That being said, I really wanted to give these guys their props.

Check 'em out!

Seeing your car up on the lift I can't help notice your tires.... what are they, what size??? They look narrow compared to my stock run flats.

I am going to need new tires soon and have heard that few "look" as wide as the GYs.

Thanks,

Though I didn't get it dynoed the increase in power is real obvious to me. I mean those LG's really woke my car up. As far as the sound goes, some might say it's loud. It's more like powerful-the way a muscle car is supposed to sound.

I will be seeing ECS this summer for a cam swap and will dyno it then.

As far as the tires, they are Toyos T1R's.....275/35/18 , 295/35/18 and the grip on these puppies is phoenomenal. Now that my car is lowered it handles even better.

Modding these cars is so much fun!!!

Kudos to Chris, Doug, and the rest of the ECS gang!
Had the pleasure to meet them at Carlisle last year, great bunch of guys!!!..
The only problem I have with them is that they're too darn far away for me to take advantage of their great services...

Hello, I have to get the same thing done. Might go with Vette Docotors/American headers. Did you have the parts delivered to ECS or did they order them for you? What other parts did you provide for the install (gaskets, clamps, etc.) What was the installed cost? Thanks, Tom
