I ordered the DT shorties last week from Autoanything at $506. I'll let you know once I install them next weekend!

Awesome sounds good!

I have 25 sets of the borla on order to our warehouse, but I have not been able to get any more info on pricing or when they will be in stock...I will keep trying though.

Borla also has nto given me any actual HP and TQ numbers just yet.

So with the shorty headers you wont need a tune and the long tube headers with cats you will is this correct.

HeavyD · 10-18-2009, 06:59 PM

Correct! Only because you are changing the factory catalytic converters. The engine ECM reads the exhaust gases differently and doesn't like that and thinks something is wrong, so you reprogram the ECM to think differently.

Did anyone get a dyno to see what gains you get. How do they sound when the AFM kicks in

bump for dyno #s

Anyone have a soundclip of the DT Shorties on the LS3 stock exhaust system?

Cooper2010 · 10-29-2009, 09:01 PM

I have exactly what your asking for but a video would be pretty pointless as sound doesnt change much at all. It does sound a little deeper, very little, and decel popping is less noticeable (biggest difference in sound).

lee · 10-29-2009, 09:15 PM

any better throttle response on the buttdyno?

Cooper2010 · 10-29-2009, 09:37 PM

With all the traction control options off it does break the tires loose easier, and rpms climb a bit faster. Throttle response I wouldnt say changed too much, but I've only done the headers, no other mods to support them so I didnt expect any huge gains.
