I can't wait to hear the results as well! If all goes well, the entire setup will be on the car Saturday and then I can post vids/clips. It will be LG Long tubes with xpipe/high flow cats and Borla stingers. I don't think my neighborhood will vote me neighbor of the year for this, but it is going to sound mean!

One more on the gaskets - I got the GM ones, I also understand that the flat side goes towards the head and the raised side goes towards the header (Thanks vettl83). This is the first time I have used these "sandwich" type gaskets and I opened them up and took a look at them and it also looks as if it has piece of metal like a tab at the end that should be folded over or broken off. Does this just stick out, or should it be folded over/broken off after installation? Thanks again...man am I getting anxious!
