Definitely!! Because the car is so low, the underside of the splitter will scrape as opposed to the front bumper itself. Notice how I beveled mine, it makes it look 100 times better than how it came, no disrespect to Gary's Customz but this is how they should've been done. But definitely worth the $150 or whatever. Picked up my Kooks Headers from Specialized Coatings in Huntington Beach today. They did an awesome job on the black ceramic powder coating both inside & out. Improved performance, durability, lower operating temps and under hood temps and just looks plain out badass! Before & After

Well,
I'm so glad I made the connection with Dialed In Performance, we were talking today about having a big Dyno Day/BBQ/Car show at their new spot on PCH. He's all for supporting the Southern Cali Camaro Clubs, they really know their shit & have an AWD Mustang Dyno, and Johnny the owner is cool as hell, ex pro bike racer and top mechanic along with his crew of Juan & Jesse...Big things are going to come out of this shop! My Kooks Headers got wrapped today with Thermo-Tec for keeping them super cool, then they'll paint the Thermo-Tec tape black tomorrow, and bolt those headers up there along with the ZR1 plugs & ZR1 MAP. Added the Billet Idler pulley and got those pulleys a ***** hair apart, then we just have to button her back up and hit the Dyno for the tune! Then hopefully off to Ruby's Cruise/Meet night in Hermosa. |

Well then, turn your sound up! I wasn't able to stay for the whole tuning process, cause the wife wanted to check out the Fiesta Hermosa down at the beach and I had already spent about 3 hours at the shop going deaf Some impressions: I drove the car pre-tune, since the Kooks LTs were now installed, and running catless I'm pretty impressed that the car isn't really loud during normal cruising which was a concern. Engine felt very smooth, much more responsive. I definitely want to drop in pulley size from the 3.8 down to a 3.2 for more boost. We'll see, I'm just happy to have at this stage and now put some miles on it and see what needs to stay or change. |
