Will try to get it on the dyno Monday. Test will be:
CAI + tune + stock manifolds + HFC + cat-back
vs.
CAI + tune + LTH + 3" 100cpi (mega high flow) cats + cat-back
I guess this is how they are building them now Glover997.

Also, my butt dyno could tell the increase in HP after the install. Lastly, on the steering wheel linkage, there's an alignment flat spot on the spline shaft and yoke. That's what I used so I didn't have to go in and re-align.

Great write up! Thanks for posting. It took us a solid 12 hours to install these on the black cherry convertible and it spent most of it's life by the ocean so we had a few f^*@in S*!+ moments.

OBX is said to be a much poorer quality. For the amount of labor it takes to install these, I'd spend the money to only have to do it once.
