Man if you were here on the west coast I could have had that box van sold in a heart beat for that price!

Also if I were to buy the twin turbo kit and have it installed at a performance shop, how much do you think the total cost of the project would turn out to be?

Yeah I was surprised I didn't have any takers, I'm not that aggressive of a seller though. I only had it on craigslist. But this will be a good tow wagon for me. It comes in handy for a lot of things.

Idk, if you won't be doing anything then I'd probably figure on 10K.

kit takes about 16 hours to install

I think if she put this kit on she would be mid 11's on street tires no problem(get it racergirl? no problem). I went from 14.6 stock to 12.1 now.

But you might end up upgrading to the SS rear end anyway.

The official stats have the 2ls doing the quarter mile in 14.7 sec at 95 mph. How come people have been able to get much better quarter mile times than the official Chevrolet stats?

Factory freak with a fly weight driver that has skills and great weather (negative Density Altitude)? It all adds up.

So is this the plan for getting us in the 11's?

JantzenOKC · 08-27-2015, 05:00 PM

I finally got around to putting this LS3 stock catback on. Good news is it's pretty quiet inside and practically no drone. The bad news is it sounds like a Honda lol. It's raspy but I kinda figured it would be going back to an h-pipe. It sounds really good at idle. I might replace the h-pipe with another magnaflow x-pipe and see how that sounds. At least now I'm 2.5" all the way back so might make a little more power. Sure looks funny though with the NPP diffuser. I need to find someone to trade with.

The turbo emblem from a Sonic would look killer on there- red letters on chrome, larger size.

HP Turbine · 08-27-2015, 07:32 PM

Now you just need to get rid of those heavy ass suitcase mufflers.

Yeah I like those except that I see them on Sonics all the time. I never see the cobalt turbo emblems plus they have the same font as the RS emblem, and I already bought two of them.
