Five and a half hours later....








The sound is awesome through the Magnaflows. Noticaeable improvement in power. These new Kooks long tube headers slipped right in from underneath with ease.

Thanks everyone. I don't have any sound clips but all I can say is that I don't want to stop driving. The Magnaflows always sounded deep and throaty but now with the headers they sound wicked shifting through the gears and accelerating and are even deeper, more throaty and louder under acceleration. This setup gives the car the old school muscle car sound. There is none of that motor boat sound at all, not a trace. I don't think that sound clips ever sound the same as hearing the car in person. As far as performance mods, just the Kooks long tubes with their green cats which are worth the extra money, no codes at all, Magnaflow Perfomance Series exhaust and a Blackwing intake. Installed a set of NGK Iridium plugs and Taylor Thunder Volt 50 wires.

Wicked but bad, it won't be enough. I know moving on to a cam now. I think there's something to say about the mod bug and the individuals that warn against it. Its really addicting.

Just wondering if the tubes drag at all when you hit dips or speed bumps?

We'd love to hear it, too! You have all the components for an awesome-sounding exhaust setup!
