I will scan the dyno print outs and post as well.

Mustang Dyno so don't be shocked by low numbers. With 368 as baseline I am hoping for over 400.

We shall see!

One easy way to do pics in the proper size is to use the Snipping Tool in Windows. Open your picture.. then open the Snipping Tool and click new and just draw a box around the picture...

then click File... Save As and save it to your hard drive ready to attach at the proper size.

Thanks mlee

I just picked my car up

414/401 on the dyno. I will post the sheets hopefully tomorrow (working today)

Sounds great!
I can feel the 44 HP and the torque but will be used to it in a day or so (Whipple time!)
LOVE the feel of the Pedders bushings - really tightened up the rear without negatively affecting the ride.

D-R-O-N-E and it's ugly, going uphill in 6TH between 1700-2100 it will rattle dental work loose. Its a deep harmonic disturbance,not raspy. It will soon become unbearable.

Anyone who has switched from Flowmaster Am. Thunder cat back to something drone free (axel back) PLEASE chime in. I am looking at Corsa, Solo, and??? from what I have gleaned from this forum thus far.

The ghosted AAC sidemarkers and the plasma DRLs look great. However, the ABL footwell LED's are cheap and crap, IMO. The adhesive was so week that I ended up zip tying them. I would NOT recommend those as they just seem cheap and flimsy to me, but the rest I would.

That's it until I get some pics ready & post.

Shorties and Flowmasters for sale soon!

Highly Recommend LT's and a good tune and Pedders!
Ray and his guys at Full Throttle Kustoms were great.

SoCal Camaro drivers or anyone else considering Ray and his shop can PM me to discuss in more detail if you want!

If I lived close to you, I would trade you my Corsa for the Flowmaster, I do love the sound of my Corsa, but I still wish I went with Flowmaster, I have Flowmaster on my other 2 Camaros and I always say the louder the better

And I would do it!

The Flowmasters sounded great with my DT shorty headers and they sound awesome with the ARH LT's until you get under heavy load uphill. The Drone is pretty intense at that point.

You'll have no problems with Corsa... I was so thankful that's what I had...

[Birm]

Look at dynomax VT mufflers. 350$ or so for the axleback with a $$ back garuntee. I had them onmy car and 100000% loved them. Only reason they came off is I went to a 3".

Other then that, congrats on the nice #s

The spark plugs were the tuners suggestion (trust him implicitly) the wires were mine only if there are clearance issues with the LT's and stock wires.

Makes sense then. Just trying to save ya a few bucks where it might not have been needed.

Look at the 3" Magnaflow Comp series. Never had any drone once it was on. I've had it for about 10k miles now and I love the sound. It might be a little quiet for some but there is no drone....and I think the sound gets deeper and better over time.

Hey Marc, haven't heard back from you since you got the car back...

You don't need to change mufflers, drone can be eliminated with j-pipes that any muffler shop should be able to install.

When you get a chance, shoot me a PM...

[ramsman34]

Sweet, PM'ing you now

This...

The Corsa was a bit too high pitched for me... However, if the 3" magnaflow has minimal drone as caverman you could still keep that deeper tone that I prefer.. but it is all your preference.

[ramsman34]

Update:

I had that dreaded headers hitting tunnel brace annoying rattle which seems to be fixed (spacers) I want to replace that brace with after market and something called driveline rings or loops (sorry, not familiar, the shop recommended) keeps the drive shaft from going anywhere if it breaks.

The shop tooks some pics and are emailing them to me soon. This weekend I hope to shoot some own exterior, make a video of starteup and revs, scan and post the dyno data.

These mods and this shop were good decisions for me!

I am living with the exhaust drone and will be considering Magnaflo, Dynos, poss. Borlas, and J Pipes (thanks Parabolica) Passing on corsa due to cat back only and price. Not a big fan of what I have heard of the corsa tone either. I like the deep, old school sound.

Now I am organizing my "Mods Calendar" in order of want and what I can afford

[ramsman34]

Here is a scan of the dyno graph.

I suck as a photographer but have some engine compartment shots of the wires, ARH's clutch reservior, race scoop.

I have video from my I phone but want to redo it.

DAMN I have never been outside my car before to hear just how insane it sounds. It is seriously baddass!


More coming soon!
