As far as Headers go, they all seem to be real close to one another - so really it's your pick! I have watched header swaps and dyno's and there was really no difference between set-ups

Thanks,Matt
Matt,
did you have the header, x pipe Ti exhaust set up when the rest was mostly stock and if so how did it sound- I looking to get a little louder than stock at idle but want the world to know I'm coming at WOT
Thanks,
Martin

I'm keeping my eye out on the Titanium and OBX headers coming down the pipe.

Yes I did and I loved it - now SuperCharged it still sounds the same as when I just had my H/C set-up with the LT's, Hiflow Cats and XPipe into the TI's

Here is a couple of clips of the sound:

New H/C Start-Up

H/C Dyno Run (423 RWHP 400 RWTQ)

Thanks,Matt

Yes I am and I "BLEED" Burgandy and Gold - and this year I am bleeding alot

I've suffered through some rough seasons before but this one is pretty hard, I'll admitt. Hopefully next season will be a weee bit better with a new Coach and running back and perhaps...... well as you know we need a lot of help!

I am a DIE HARD Skins fan and my middle/media room is decorated in REDSKINS Memorabilia and Corvette memorabilia!

No problem on the pic - I got plenty more I take you too are a 'SKINS fan too

The Alky Kit is a snap to hook up so when you need help or something you can call or still you got Julio around the corner

Thanks,Matt

Matt, My basement is the decorated the same, need more Vette stuff thought. Hopefully with all the changes coming the Skins can get respectable again and stop all of us die hard fans from bleeding so much- If your every come out east during football season let me know I have 4 season tickets, is Julio a mechanic in the area?

Martin

BTW I waited all night at RFK for Superbowl 17 tickets, so I saw the man do the 4 & 1 live- Great time

No way! Man that is what made me a fan, way back then, I was just a kid - not even 10 yet

That is soooo awesome - I got to meet Gibbs shake his hand and he signed my hat - when my wife got us the Team Hotel Package in San Francisco!

I even met Sonny Jergenson and he signed the hat too as well a Bugel and many others, man it was sweet, BEST Anniversary gift I ever got!

We'll talk more I am gonna send a friend request!

Thanks,Matt
