Exhausting search
Hate the bland looking stock exhaust tips on my '99 6-speed coupe so went to the Chevy/Corvette show in Chicago yesterday looking for a cat back system. Ended up buying a whole system. Headers, bigger diameter cats, X-pipe and corsa Indy cat back. Question is: If I should pick up 3-5 HP with the cat-back, what should this whole system give me? Also picked up a cold air induction system. Thanks for your imput.

Re: Exhausting search (XTARHEEL)
If you are adding new headers, larger cats, x-pipe, Corsa Indy's, AND a cold air intake I think you will be pleasantly suprised. :yesnod:
You should definitely feel a seat of the pants difference. What kind of headers, x-pipe, and cats did you get?
Patrick :D

Buying the system from a shop out of Naperville, IL. The system is a Finish Line Performance C-5 Header system. Long tube headers, 2 1/2" cats, X pipe etc. Anyone familiar with this system?

I ordered it. Didn't get the LGM because the price of the FLP kit was more than I wanted to spend, but I figured it would be worth it for all that it comes with. With everything FLP is claiming 25hp and 27tq. I assume that is RWHP/TQ because the kit includes high flow cats, xpipe and headers. Did you actually receive yours yet? FLP is telling me within a week or so :sleep:

More like 2 weeks, just check on my order today. If LG can get them to me faster, I might just get theirs instead. I just don't like taking my car to the shop so many times. Right now the SC is going up, figure it will be a good time to get everythings done. :D

Still too much snow / salt on the road so the car is still under it's winter cover. Hope to get it over to the shop by the first of April, they told me there is about a week lead time for ordering the parts. Really looking forward to seeing the difference these mods make. Also ordered from Ecklers a hood seal and one of their silicone throtle body air ducts.
