Well, I finally got my 1 7/8"JBA headers, 3" to 3" catted mid-pipes, and 3" cat-back put on today. I took it to our Vette mechanic Arnold (GotJuice), he did a superior job and made sure everything was 100% solid. The install was very smooth, headers went in from underneath easily, had to remove the starter on the passengers side to get a bit more room. After that it was all slip on, light clamp, slip on the next part, light clamp, adjust everything to tuck it up into the tunnel, even out the tips through the diffuser, torque everything down and voila. The video was taken after the header install, had to start it up to check for exhaust leaks, and it overwhelmed the camera microphone. I'll take more video in the next few days and post it up in this thread. The cabin noise has increased significantly, and the car sounds Angry...Very...Very...Angry

Looks great...man I need a lift... Looks like Arnold was working hard.. Where's the beer drinkers..

SYSADM

Thanks, yes Arnold worked his a$$ off today. I provided the requisite lunch of sirloin burgers, macaroni salad, and plenty of beer for today. Tomorrow we'll be doing a paint detail on Arnold's Z06 that he'll be running at the Texas Mile in October. Stay tuned for another brilliant pic filled thread on that (we haven't decided on Menzerna or Zaino yet)

Looking good mang.

I am surprised that I didn't see Peter Pan in the background somewhere sipping a cold one.

Peter Pan showed up late and then supervised off-camera
Your car has an attitude now and Arnold does very good work

Grim Reaper

Trust me he was there if beer was present.

Sorry I missed it, but I'm in Washington for awhile still. Will be back this weekend for a visit then back to the Boeing plant. I'm missing all the fun.

Pinky...

Nice! Those cars are too damned quiet.

Sweet man! Nice numbers!

Stormcrowe

Nice work Kevin, both on the car and the video
Corey's a very good tuner and pulled every hp he could, and those headers sound great! to Arnold for a tight install and tuning support!
Now share with us what the next mods will be and what you're aiming for

SYSADM

Sure, my goal is 500+ rwhp, which is pretty easy to do. This is just the infrastructure for my next mod which will be a Magnuson TVS2300 supercharger, I'd like to run it at 8 or 10 pounds of boost. That change will happen at the beginning of next summer. The mod after that will be a stage 2 cam, with the supporting elements (LS3 conversion kit, springs, valves, retainers, etc...), after that will be a full Pedders Street suspension. I'm not looking for land speed record type of power, just a nice beefy daily driver that I can track and show occasionally. I'll have this car for a very long time, slowly but surely, these mods will come together.

Even the guy on the TV in the lower left corner is all

He was giving me directions all day.
