Default cam and headers installed!

Hello all! I posted a couple weeks back about doing this to a 02Z I bought. Installed Dynotech longtubes with a comp 232/236, 595/601,
on a 113lsa. We also did the intake mod that is on this forum with the K&N filter. Cranked it up last night with the headers un capped and it sounded really nice. With the factory Ti's its maybe a bit too quite. I understand you can weld a small pipe between the front of the muffler and the tips to bypass the can that will make it a little louder. Can anyone tell me how much difference this makes? Waiting for Jeremy at Fasterproms to come by and do a base tune so it will be more driveable. We will do a dyno tune later this week. It's surprising how well the factory tune is doing with these mods. It is almost liveable as is. Planning on doing the heads soon and then a 100-150 shot of nos. Having fun already!

Jeremy put a base tune on it. Car runs really well. Can't really wring it out because it's raining here pretty bad. Planning on going to dyno on Tuesday so Jeremy can do his thing. Car feels almost as strong as my
C6Z! Dynotech longtubes are a work of art. Was glad I spent $130.00 extra and installed the high volumne oil pump from Texas Speed. Car has a ton of oil pressure. Can anyone suggest what works well in the head dept.? Probably want to keep compression at 11.0:1
