TPIS headers installed

MTI just installed my headers and they look, sound and perform great. Gained 20 HP w/ my existing mods and the most noticeable gain was the vast improvement in off-idle throttle response. MTI guys make the installation look like a walk in the park. What they did in ~4hrs would take me an eternity and drive me :crazy:

Boy you did quick work on your 2002. You already got heads and Cam TC and Gears and now headers. Your Set!!

How do you like the 3.42's and TC??? That was going to be my next mod.

Have fun

How is the quality of the TPIS??? And where did you feel the biggest gains with the headers?? Man, you've gotta get exhaust done after the headers and heads/cam. You'll feel a big difference!!

I had mine done last fall, and the experience was excellent...Next step is the blower in a couple weeks, went with the 13/4 for that reason :cheers:

Re: TPIS headers installed (Steve02C5)

I got these headers installed last fall and it really doesn't feel like an extra 20hp over and above your basic mods. (intake, exhaust). The intake air filter gave a bigger SOTP difference IMHO. I would guesstimate 10-12hp. :seeya
