Default C5 street series headers

I finished the install of the new C5 street series long tubs and all I can say is wow!!! I went with the cats verse the straight pipe. The system cam with both options so if I want to get rid of the back preasure caused by the catsand amke the car louder I have that option. Lou and his guys @ LG motorsports and you guys who emailed me your insight made this install possible. Anytime I got stumped I call LG and one of his tech's (shaune, Mike) would take thier time to explain what I needed to accomplish to complete this install. I did the install in my garage without a lift, it's coming this wenesday. They look go and sound seat @ WOT. I'm looking for a dyno tuner in the Tallahassie. FL area. If any forum member can reccommend a tuner in my area would be awesome.

Thanks again LG Motorsports for an awseome product

If you feel like making a trip to South Florida I will tune it. Just got done tuning an LG Header car and the tune went extremely well. I will try to post the graph asap in this section.

Default Saturday Mod Crew

Had the old guys (youngest is 55) over on Saturday to do the thing. A buddy on each side and me underneath. We got 'er done and running in 6 hours. Not bad considering none of us had done one of these in 30 years.

Sounds great! Got rid of the Corsa motor boat, and most all the popping.

And we did manage to make coctail time.

Baby is still up on the jacks, with a couple of odds and ends to do. No hurry. The weather here in Chi-town is crappy anyway.
