Just got ARH Long Tube Headers and Cats installed

[BaylorCamaro]

It took forever to finally get me a set of headers. Originally ordered BBK, but due to waiting three weeks and then finding out that they were behind schedule I upgraded to ARH. Car sounds and run great, just waiting on Vince to update my tune. This brings my mod list up to MRT V1 exhaust, Airaid V2 intake, Trifecta tune and now ARH headers and cats



Inside Cabin


Outside

I will edite with two video clips (outside and inside car), just waiting for them to process on youtube!

Finally

Did you swap out the whole system like I did, or did you leave some of the stock pipes on the car? Vince had to add timing and fix up my fuel trims, after everything.

Nope, the pipes from the cats to the axle back are still stock. Yours are 2.5 now right?

cool, can't wait to hear it.

Very cool. This looks like the hot set up for our V6. You guys are trying to get me to spend more money!!

Yessird......I don't think it makes much difference in power, since Mrray13 and myself are the same almost, but it makes a big difference on the sound.

maybe it's a bad video, but the interior video sounds really raspy, and then when you took your foot off the gas, the exhaust got louder? lol

The pipes will be raspy when they are brand new, my tone has gotten deeper and deeper the more miles I have put on. Also the temperature of the pipes matter too, when I first start up the ride, its raspy as all hell but after about a min of driving, its nice and deep

The only thing I noticed was that I can tell the sound is little more muffled then mine, as expected, since you kept some of the stock 2.25s between the cats and the mufflers. No biggie. Good vid

How much does it change the sound, like does it just make it more loud or does it make it deeper too? Do you have video clips?

Haha well I let of the gas but was in manual mode, so I done shifted right away then goosed it at the very end.

Congrats on getting the best system out there IMHO! You won't regret it at all!

Vince did my timing also, and think you asked him after you heard I did it right? I know I can tell the difference with the added timing, can you Blade?

I didn't ask him, I just sent him my logs after the Injen upgrade. He was real busy with some of the FI guys, like STS and Z Madness and ROD1, I assume. He never named names, but I was in no hurry But when he got to it, he reaaaaaaaaalllllly gave me a great tune and the car jumps and lets loose. I can feel the wheels kick on turns when I am in turns

[BaylorCamaro]

Sounds good, looks like the next thing is to replace the remaining 2.25 pipe.
