So I had the headers installed today at A&A. What an awesome place! I love taking my car there! Andy and his crew are the best! The headers are pretty loud with the Stingers, but man they sound great! I also purchased an Elite Engineering tunnel plate to stiffen up the chassis and to keep me cooler in the cockpit. I almost pulled the trigger on an LS6 intake because it made perfect sense since the manifold was removed at the time. The purchase and installation already had the Mrs. on edge, so I had to bite my lip and say no. I'm gonna wait a couple of months and and get a dyno tune from Andy and at the same time, I will install an LS6 intake. Andy actually did a little minor tweaking for me today.

Thanks to Dirty Howie for the deal on the headers, x-pipe, and high flow cats! And of course, thank you to the A&A team for taking care of me.
