ARH Longtubes install - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

103FrazzL · 03-01-2011, 12:08 AM

I just finished installing my 1 7/8 arh longtubes and i cant stop smiling when i drive! I never want to turn the car off

I'm in love

( wasting a lot of gas tho lol ). ARH what an outstanding product you make i am more then impressed and it exceeded my expectations. With that being said I had already had the SLP loudmouth II axle back system on the car and the combination with the arh system it just sounds absolutely perfect. Not to loud under 2 thousand rpm's but once you start to open it up it just gets such an amazingly loud perfect note. The install took about 4 hours with 2 people (me and my buddy) doing it but could defiantly have taken less time. We had a small problem with one of the O2 sensors which was easily fixed so between that and some BS ing that took up some extra time. This system is exactly what i have been looking for in an exhaust note and really I'm just ear to ear every time i start her and drive her

!!!! She did throw a code this morning omw to work and I installed them Saturday night. I was kind of expecting this and I'm contemplating a tune I'm just worried about the warranty. I know that with the arh system I'm already kinda screwed with the warranty. I gunna get you guys a video and some pics by this weekend.

all the way!!!!!!!!!!!

how difficult was it to disconnect the steering shaft?

That is a peice of cake. Just one little bolt, then push the shaft up and to the side. Lock the steering wheel to the brake pedal with a bungee cord to make sure nobody turns it while disconnected.

A trick to getting it back on is to use a small screw or screw driver to pry the split joint back open. Mine was real tight and a bear to get back on. I took a small screw and turned it into the split joint. This opened it up enough to get it back on.

Agreed it was very easy. The hardest part was the O2 sensors. I actually had to unlock the wheel to get it to line back up. It had to go just a hair more. Once it was unlocked it slide right back into place.

you got to get AHR'S mufflers. There is no drone and less cabin noise and it really finishes the system off nice.

After everything I have read, I'm gonna go with Ted Jannetty and the SCT tuner. It seems to be the best option IMO he has all great feedback, and when I have emailed him, he gets back to you right away.

If you decide to go with Kooks, you don't have to worry about this.

HxCGuitars · 03-01-2011, 05:26 PM

Awesome! Is there any drone with the LMII out back? And any videos by chance?

Its hard to explain. The slp loudmouth II had some drone like most exhaust's at around 2 thousand rpm's or just under, but did sound good by itself. With the ARH headers and cats and the slp loudmouth it is the same drone just a little deeper or a little louder not sure yet which one (maybe both). IMHO as long as the drone isn't crazy annoying and the overall system sounds amazing ill take a little drone. Gotta have some sacrifice for the pleasure! Even my buddy with the 2010 srt8 jeep has some drone. He has the Corsa cat back system which isn't supposed to have any drone according to them and is installed correctly. Im most certainly not knocking Corsa it is a great system regardless. I'm just saying the louder the exhaust the more drone, even if minimal like Corsa.
