American Racing Headers Installed (w/ videos)
Ok so the day finally came. I had my American Racing LT headers and high flow cats installed and had my Airaid box modified. So my total setup is now
MBRP Catback Exhaust Airaid V2 CAI (modified box) American Racing LT Headers & High Flow Cats Unfortunately due very heavily to the weather here my dyno numbers were pretty bad. It was 100 degrees, very humid and the dyno is indoors (I live in Phoenix, AZ). My baseline (which had the MBRP and Airaid without mod) was 226hp. After the install and Airaid mod my numbers were 246hp. One of the guys in our AZ group had a dyno done here and then done again a week later in Souther California and the dyno in Cali was +30hp (it was 67 degrees)! I will have to have another dyno done in cooler weather. So the important take away is that the American Racing system gave me +20hp! Not bad at all for a bolt on system. I will post detailed dyno sheets at the beginning of next week (they were having a printer problem and are going to e-mail me the full sheets. I'll also post my torque gains which I don't remember off the top of my head. I wanted to get this video to you guys now though. I can definitely feel the extra power and man this thing is loud now. UPDATE: More videos! Start Up (after driving home) Cold Start and Rev - doesn't quite capture how good this sounds or how loud it is Windows up (Mild Acceleration) Windows down (Mild Acceleration) Windows down (Hard Acceleration)

Thanks. I will say that the headers definitely make the car much MUCH louder especially without mashing the throttle too much so keep that in mind if you are looking to keep the cabin whisper quiet like it comes stock these headers with the cats are definitely not for you. As for me I absolutely love em!

Haven't had a chance to take any vids of outside revs yet. I figured I got home at 10pm and it would probably piss off me neighbors if I started doing that lol. I'll take some in the morning though. I'm taking a wait and see approach to the tune. Trifecta is cool but if i'm gonna pay $600 for a tune i'd like to get some horsepower out of it. We'll see though.

Sounds great and very familiar
Can you take some pictures of the headers, I want to see what these Jet-Coated stuff looks like.
