So jnaut, how much faster did the car feel with the added torque from the headers vs. without them?

As for "seat of the pants" idk haha, i feel it is a piece of the puzzle to make it a complete package. like most say you get the most with you first couple mods, but you wont be dissapointed forsure!!

The headers definitely open up the exhaust to the point it helps the engine rev a lot quicker. It gives it a slightly higher pitch vs stock or HFCs. The famous F.I. hiss sounds even more pronounced to me now. You do feel seat of the pants gains, but the total gains won't be realized till you get a tune to incorporate all your mods into the ECU. That's when you'll get the final, complete picture.

i can say this is this i have mostly the same mods as everybody else on the forum except for these longtubes, and i make power all the way to 8k rpm so i would think that the LT part of this reason.

It was my wife's idea (not kidding). She's a track junkie and we wanted the freest flowing most powerful setup we could get (+lightest weight).
We might get an additional xpipe from Tony at a later date to run inbetween track days if the sound is just too much for us. We'll see, when I talked to tony I asked if it'd be louder than a Viper with headers and TP's and he said no and that car (one of our friends) isn't loud imo. |

The only reason I will ever take the LT's off my car is when I go TT. 'Nuff Said.

Just look at it like this guys, if Tony's not updating the list... that means he's busy building exhausts!
But in reality, it's after 9pm PT so the shops closed, wouldn't expect any word till tomorrow at the earliest. Try to be patient lol
