Re: FLP'S are in (c5 devil)
2 hours??? Are you really in Beaumont? That should only take you 1.5 hours tops.......if you go down Hwy 90 to Dayton, then jump over to 1960, come on into Humble and then get on Beltway 8 to Hwy 249 and he's righ there.....
just a quicker route in case you need to do it again :cheers:
oh, and congrats on your FLP install, mine should be in next week and I'll be installing them myself next weekend I hope...... :D

Hey C5 Devil,
Congrats. That's a great combo with the Corsa Indies.
Now your vette will sound like a vette should!
Watch your right foot, it will become heavier now!
Enjoy....but be careful man!

Congrats on the new headers!! :cheers:
Mine's an 02 but we're otherwise close. If you don't mine me asking, what did your install cost? Also, did you consider tuning?

....i hope that helped :cool:
Mike Norris is the closest forum tuner to me so I guess I'll wait and see what MG2K pays for his install. I'm hoping it will be in the $400 area.
Make sure you post what the tuning does for you! :D

Re: FLP'S are in (c5 devil)
I dont get it!.... seems FLP's are all the wave right now. Just a few months back TPIS was in. I purchased TPIS based on recomendations from the Forum. Now, seems everyone is on the FLP bandwagon. Did I make a mistake?

Re: FLP'S are in (HPfisterer)
TPIS are good headers and many here have them, but FLP's have a lot more to them, they come with high flow cats, x-pipe, plus the ease of the installation since they are truely a 100% bolt on installation.
The FLP's are $1,599 list (you might get them 1 or 2 hundred dollars cheaper) and the TPIS can be had fro around $850-$900. That is a big difference. For the money TPIS are great (install is a bit tougher of course since you have to wled), but if $$ was no object, FLP's all the way!
But your TPIS will be just fine and provide similar gains.
