huge thanks to jon met me at work gave me a ride home and was able to fix the issue thanks so much man

 

glad you got it fixed there chris...

nope.. nothin planned for friday night, yet.. Could change pretty easy though, never know

 

ya i was a little worried lol but it just took removing the pipe and putting it back in then having jon take a hammer to the header for it to fit right lol

i would be down but i wirk until 9 that night

 

nothing a little tough love can't fix

 

lol exactly

 

notice any gain??? or mainly just sound??

 

um i will let you know toorrow it did sound a bit louder last night and had a bit more pick up but if i am able to i will be at race city to see for sure

 

alright cool... if im in town this weekend i might go to rc. never been there before... haha pretty lame i know, don't think I would race though.. we would see at the time being

 

I work early saturday morning, just figured good place to meet up, and i'm really curious how slow my car is. I'm kinda aiming for mid to low 16's.

Anybody have a suggestion when and where to meet ahead of time, then drive down to Race City?

 

absolutely no problem man! ~ I'm glad I could help!!

BTW to any lurkers in this thread - anything spoken about Chris's mom is true;
she had baked goods ready for me to consume... and even tried to send me home with some!



awesome.

man!!?!

Why you guys gotta be plannign RC visit's when I'm heading out of town!?!

I'm picking up THESE in Great Falls on Saturday morning;
If I didn't manage to get them re-routed I would have had to take time off of work to them pick up during the week - but I had them re-routed to one of the UPS stores which is open saturday, but only 10am-3pm (closed sunday) - which means if I don't want to chance screwing things up (and I am a screw up btw), I really need to at least be in Lethbridge on friday night.
PS - it's 5 hours to Great Falls from here - not including any border delays ~ and there always are.

I stocked up on Fruit Loops Marshmallow last time I went down... and picked up a bunch of USA-only pops ~ what should I get this time?

 

Hey SOUNDJUNKY I am not stock ether! I probably have some of the most mods done on the car.

 

lol now now graham we all know what you have lol.... i told you all i heard a rumor about kris's mom lol.... lol thats so awsome!!!! i got cut out when i did his stripes coz we did them at my shop....

 

if you notice I left you off that short list ~ I didn't want to chance screwing up your mod list...

morning boys!

 

i think i may have missed it but what kind of car do you have and what hae you done

 

he has a G5 equivalent to Grahams car - with some bolt on's

 

ok so here is my question do i have a chance lol hopefully with the new header i can run a low 16 im really not too sure what to expect for time wise but next summer i will be faster lol

 

that should reduce back pressure some - but I am not familiar with the L61/LE5/LSJ exhausts - so I don't know how the factory exhaust is, or where the primary restriction is.

from what I saw, it looked to me that the primary restriction was the original manifold - I'd think you should see a small gain in performance... going to Race city will tell...

maybe other LE5 owners have posted (in the LE5 section of course), or can post attesting to any real gains from using this manifold over the stocker!?

 

ya i definatley felt a bit more power in the higher rpms this morning taking my brother to school i am going to do my best to try and get out of my shift friday so i can race lol

 

if you do go please do your best to coax Mark & his wife (ok mostly his wife ) to go video you at the track...
also unless it's at least 12-15, odds are the track surface will be cold enough that you won't do any better than your august run... just saying.

there's always THIS - if the weather looks to be good I'm probably going to be there (drive up friday night, stay in a hotel, nad head back home saturday evening) - but if hte weather doesn't significantly improve, I'll just stay home & go to my nieces (2nd) birthday party (which I'd really like to attend anyway)....

 

not sure if i can make it just cause of my job lol i have to work weekends way too much

 

The header will give you a bit of extra hp but until you deal with the cat your not gonna see any real gains.

 

ya know catless zzp 2.5 inch downpipe is on order in 2 weeks

you notice a big difference with your setup

 

really? - I'd doubt that - the stock manifold was absolutely tiny compared to this thing - not to mention that the stocker had on the #1 & #4 exhaust manifold ports something like 1" before they joined the #2 & #3 exhaust manifold ports... this one uses even length primaries, into a common collector...
IMO, it looks to be a piece that is incomparable to the stocker...

what brand is it Chris - let me look it up...

EDIT - Chris any catless pipe is probably going to require a reflash -just an FYI

 

the header is the cobalt addiction v1 or v2 and ya i know i will need the tune for it but i may just deal with the cel for the time being when i get itr

 

hey - does someone want a set of the GM "all weather" mats?

soulfly said he wanted them we he saw me pull them out of hte box at hte show & shine we went to...
