Actually in that pic they had it hooked up wrong, now I have it where the middle port goes to the valley tray and the right side goes to the back of my intake manifold, which from looking at the RX website is now correct.

Oh ok, so you don't have anything going to the driver side valve cover?

No, on an L99 with an LS3 conversion the driver side is just capped off.

Boy you got that right haha it made the exhaust a good amount louder, even though I have stock manifolds right now, but have high flow cats and flowmaster outlaw mufflers, I'm nervous sitting at lights haha I just don't want any unwanted attention if you know what I mean, but I guess it is what it is haha

I just ordered everything for my gpi ss1 cam install. I did tsp long tubes last week with full exhaust and it's loud. Do you have to run the tall valve covers or did you just do it for cosmetic reasons?

Dude, just wait until you long tubes. The Outlaws will really get a chance to scream...although if 'Bay Area' means Cali, then I assume that's not happening anytime soon.

Understand being nervous at lights. I am stock except for the Borla atak catback and a K&N cold air intake and want to get the headers and high flow cats and hoping it won't get too loud and have drone. Exhaust and CAI was on there when I bought it and love the sound, you know the bug... always want a little more.

Headers and high flow cats would have been my first to try, but still love it and look for a reason to drive. And I'm 52.

Oh I bet haha I am definitely getting long tubes in the near future, but for the power gains mostly, after installing them I may need to switch to a more mild muffler setup
