!!Thats awesome!! I wish mine was like that. I take it you will be going cat-less?

I'm keeping the cat,we have emission tests every 3 years,so I don't want to fail.But I'm removing the pre-cat.

Got it installed today.Holy **** this thing is loud.I kept the stock magnaflow resonator(thank god) and replaced the cat with a high flow magnaflow one.Had problems with the o2 sensors,had to add a few feet of wire to them.It drove not bad for not having both o2 sensors not hooked up.Forgot the camera,and it's pouring out.Damn this things loud now,can't even hear the s/c whine anymore.

OK,OK settle down Here are a few pics of it installed,notice how long it is,And here is a little clip,this was done 9am this morning just after the o2 install,so I didn't rev too much.

WEAK video! Looks good though, and sounds louder for sure. I just wish my Vibe sounded that responsive and well running!

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:24 am

nice, sounds great and looks killer too

Petrucci914 · Post by **Petrucci914** » Sun May 04, 2008 2:26 am

Damn. I gotta do a video now! I love how mine sounds. Did you install flex-pipe for your setup? Why did you do that?btw, how many bones did this set you back?

Why did you do that?btw, how many bones did this set you back?You have to install a flex pipe because of the length of the header,you need a little bit of movement.As for price,way too much,in total it was $600 with the coating and flex pipe with delivery to Canada.But the HP gain is really noticeable.

cant wait to hear it in person..hopefully on the 14th at the west meet

SekSay!What is the advantage of a long tube 4-----1 header over a shorter 4-1 or 4-2-1 header?

Petrucci914 · Post by **Petrucci914** » Sun May 04, 2008 5:51 am

I would think that the farther away from the engine the gases converge, the more power and torque you have. You'd be able to push more.

just because they call it a "firewall" doesn't mean you need to test it...

You have got to strap that bad boy to a dyno. I will be dynoing mine on the 24th. Looks clean the loud exhaust gets annoying after awhile.

I got an idea that will solve your problem. Every time you stop, and park, you could put mirrors under your car. LOL It is a shame you have to hide such a nice looking part.
