Damn that looks good.

Not sure how the downpipe is configure for the location of the secondary O2 sensor (angle and location compared to the ground), it looks like in the picture it could collect condensate

No point in making one for the lnf. The o2 housing has no restrictions

This pipe was modeled and built off of the factory O2 housing. Both O2 sensors are in the exact locations as stock.

Yup, most likely in the fall.

I'll be using the same dyno I used for my SS.

Will do!

Stock, the 12'-13' LHU GS's put down around 235whp 265wtq on avg.

With my mods, and most likely a tune, I hope to be in the 290whp 330wtq range.

K&N intake
WERKs DP
Secondary cat delete

Future, GMS1 tune

I'm not getting nuts with this car, like I did with my Cobalt.

They weigh 3700lbs. Thankfully I have the 19's, because the 20's add even more weight.

The GM stage kit is good. I've had it over a year now and it really pulls. I think they say it changes the output to 290hp and 340tq which I'd believe. Comes with a nice intake too which makes all kinds of fun turbo-y noises, though I wish it was quieter lol



The downside to the 19s is the tires are actually marginally more expensive than the 20s lol
