Default Supermaxx's Are In

Well My Best Freind Showed Up At 9:00 This Morning (fed Ex Man) Me Any My Buddy Had Them Installed By About 2:00 In The Afternoon. Could Have Been Faster But Wh Did It On Jack Stands. Only Real Time Consuming Thing Was Running The Wires. The Fit Was Great. Right Now I Have The B&b Bullet System. And All I Can Say Is Wow. Sounds Like An Indy Car On Drugs. Very Deep. And My *** Meter Is Reading Some Extra Hourse Power. I'll Have It On The Dyno This Weekend And Let You Guys Know How It Went.

Holla If Ya Here Me

You're about to discover the down side to the LT headers. For some reason it will cut the rear tire life at least in half. But what the heck!!! Drive it like you stole it!!

Congrat! I've not put mine on because I'm not looking forward to doing it from jack stands. Doesn't sound like it was to bad for you though. Maybe I'll suck it up & just do it.

Is that what it is? Damn, no wonder...headers on and now with only 10k miles on the car, my rears are gone, and my gas mileage has dropped to 16 mpg. Of course, its all city driving, and I do beat everyone from stop light to stop light with a big ol grin on my face....
