Default Just Finished TPIS install

First off I want to say thankyou to Tlewis4095 for all his help !!!. The install was pretty straight forward. All I can say is holy poopie my car really came alive in the midrange. My car was an 02 so I was able to dump the pup cats. The combo of Corsa Indy's + TPIS header = Music to my ears. I hope to have some dyno numbers soon.


:cheers:

Congratulations!

I guarantee that you’ll like your dyno numbers. Did the same thing and I’m very happy.

Great job! :cheers: I know exactly what you mean. Put the FLP's in with the help of WT99C5 (my pal, Al) a couple of weeks ago and they ROCK! The car sounds and, more importantly, feels meaner. It's a great mod, ain't it? :smash: :yesnod:

I am calling on Monday to order the TPIS headers. I also have the Indys, do you have the x-pipe? Is the sound a little bolder?

Yes I have an X pipe. Give Shawn at LAPD a call he has TPIS in stock for 850.00 shipped. I really like the sound with the xpipe very clean not that motorboat sound.
