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!
