Changed out My Kook's headers 1 3/4 ,3 by 2 1/2 x-pipe for 1 7/8 's American Racing full 3" X=pipe
Intial drive was funky Car ran poorly, I returned home and found Number
8 plug cracked. Guess i should have pulled them but all is well now.
Car feels stronger but the Dyno will tell.

Well..........when's the dyno???


Also make note of any other changes between the last dyno and this next one with the 1 7/8, like outside temp, for example.

I am also really curious about the dyno... I am guessing it gains a little bit in the top and and loses a little bit in the low end...
Make sure its the same dyno too, otherwise the comparison is useless...

I'm waiting till I get the whole exhaust like I want it! next week
The muffler shop lost one of the stock Z pipes. They cut them off when i got the mufflers.

I was there a month ago and saw them.
And said hold those I need those installed as my headers are Z-06
and have a little shorter X pipe. Well they lost one so I need the
stock Z muffflers with the stock 3" attached to fit right.
We grafted 3 to 1/2 right infront of the rear axle. Not getting the greatest flow it is not major . But I'm not happy till I get it like I want
it. Feels better though there's not near the pressure sound from the
exhaust,at the higher RPM's.Plus the difference in the Cats is pretty major the AR cats are higher flow! Others have found that hp gained about 15 but the TQ
surprizing made almost 50 more so will see soon enough on the same Dyno.
