lol - I love you you think I would ever consider a SC!

Actually, one shop told me that the low end power isn't as good with the 1 7/8", so they recommend the 1 3/4". The second shop told me there is no loss in power at the low end and they recommend the 1 7/8".

FenwickHockey65 · 03-26-2010, 12:40 PM

Anyone planning on installing one of these tomorrow?

Darth_Emma · 03-26-2010, 12:42 PM

We were keeping it a secret. If you want to know, you have to show!

yes, but there is a concern if the springs on the SMartCar can support it.

well no progress on the car today so I will not be driving it. Sorry. You will just have my company, not my car. Oh well.

A lot of my buddies went with 2" headers. I will be going with 1 7/8.

Have you looked at these? http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...mbered+exhaust

I like the high flow cats included. They might work real well with the cat back system I just had done. As far as diameters of pipes, the others will have to help you with that. I'm just learning this stuff as I read about it.

Darth_Emma · 03-26-2010, 02:08 PM

I just talked to Kooks. They recommended the 1 7/8" system. I'm getting another quote from IPS now for the Kooks 6511-Complete system.

I knew you would come around... getting ready for that SC... oh yeah, don't deny it!!

Darth_Emma · 03-26-2010, 02:17 PM

well... why close that door if I don't have to?

PS: I got a price on a supercharger today for the fun of it. I won't be getting one until at least next year.

Darth_Emma · 03-26-2010, 03:07 PM

I just had an exchange with Ted at Jannetty Racing. He said to just go with a set of good headers and keep the stock exhaust. He was very helpful.

BTW, I took the box with my CAI intake in it out to my car. It won't fit in the trunk! I put it in the passenger seat. Good thing I'm flying solo tomorrow. I'm assuming I don't need to bring any tools?

RS_Man · 03-26-2010, 05:14 PM

Damn I dont get on here for a couple days and I have 3 pages to sort through lol...looks like LadyInBlue is still going to be out of town so she will not be able to come Saturday, and she doesnt want me to bring merlin out, so I will be out early in my truck so hopefully we can get the seats put in them, i'll be happy!!! Is there anything specifically that I need to bring? See eveyone around 10 tomorrow!

That is what I am doing. Headers and stock exhaust... He's a smart guy this Ted.

Nope, I think between Doug's shop and Randy's hammers we have everyting we need to force... I mean... install your CAI into place.

You guys created a "Mod Monster". I am think of a Pro-charger or supercharger as well. Probably a little ways out to make sure all else is ready.

I will be there probably around 1:00 tomorrow.

have that CAI ready.
