Awesome gains, now where can I find a video where I can hear how it sounds? LOL!

I've double-checked with my buddy at BBK, and he said that it did NOT throw a single code (check engine light) with these headers installed in the four days of testing.

I'll ask if he has can put together a quick video of the car on the dyno with the headers on it for me.

i would like to hear some idle back and rev ups with the stock exhaust, if that would be at all possible.

These will fail anywhere that does a visual inspection. As will all long tube headers.

Won't the torque management kick in pretty much negating whatever gains you might get???

Ive had camaros with long tubes since 99 and as long as it passes the sniffer you wont have a problem, unless you live in California...which if Lex Luther would of had his way would be a much cooler place to live.

Seriously some of you guys are so quick to throw out the "that will void yer warranty" and "you wont pass emissions" epidemic without researching anything.

I mean if your going 57 in a 55 your speeding right? Better not do it. Its illegal.

Heh.

Many states you can get by with it, yes. Here in Oklahoma we have no emissions testing. No visual - no sniffer - no scan. Nothing.

Does the mod void warranty, and how much does it cost?

Stevo · 10-20-2009, 11:08 PM

Not that it probably matters but that was not an RS - judging by the wheels/no spoiler...

He is right. I've never even heard or seen anyone bother and make any comments about having longtube headers on.

Don't worry about emissions either (on Cali, 99% sure your fine, look for the "CARB" approved on the product's page), I have a '98 LS1 powered Camaro Z28 with longtube's hooked up to a 3in exhaust back, passed inspection in MA and Texas. If it passes MA, you're ok. Oh yeah, and voiding your warranty... I'd say your chances are like 7% tops, they have to proved the "mod" caused the problem (at least on this small scale). And hey, it never hurts to ask a GM guy, and bring it up when buying the car.

Just chill, stop freaking out about everything stupid, use common sense.

Just a IMO... shorties and mid-length headers are goofy 85% of the time, LT's are the way to go (if you live in Cali, just move, you'll have nice(r) air anyways

)

And besides, a car with the power of this new bosch comp, cars will adjust to these minor mods, headers (unless stated off-road) will come with 02 sensor bungs on them, my Z never tossed a CEL code, ever, and yes ever before the tune. Just a little confused for a good 10 miles ahaha

Rant is over... buncha goof balls =)
