lol if you pay for shipping its yours. but i give you no guarantees that it will end up working for you. i mean maybe it was just the way i installed it or something.


anyways, i will be ordering the new air filter, get the new header in this week, will put on new downpipe, and then moving down to the 2.25 hopefully this will fix the problem. my cousin says he thinks its the downpipe, becuase he claims my exhaust sounds different.

Yeah, i'm sure it can't be good for your exhaust if you're going from 2.5" to 1.875" then back to 2.5"

How much is shipping? =p

My zip is 13421

You should put the stock LS wing back on

Make it even crazier and get some lowering springs

no sir i have a 2.5'' magnaflow muffler on the end. but since its right at the end i dont think it matters much. my exhaust is all sorts of crazy sizes right now. it is 2.5 at the collector, then stock 1.75 or whatever downpipe, then 2.5 catback, up to the axle then its 2.25 over the axle, then back to 2.5 at the muffler. lol

i might get lowering springs soon too. i'm moving into my own apartment within the next month. and even though my mom wants to pay my rent AND car payment. and some insurance, lol, i'm trying to spend all i can now.

i just got my exhaust lowered today to 2.25 with a 22 inch glasspack. it sounds pretty much the same but is slightly quicker. still not like it used to be. i am waiting until tomorrow to put my new manifold/downpipe on. its going to be a pain in the ass because my header is welded to the downpipe.

I don't know, try keeping your foot a little bit on the gas when you push the clutch in to give you a little bit of boost into the next gear and so you don't lag.

You'll burn a clutch out like that...

when your clutch is slipping, it will only affect you when your shifting right? like it wouldnt play any part in my not being able to go as fast as it used to? i'm just trying to rule everything out. i mean i'm getting fully new exhaust, new filter. might as well get a new clutch too haha!
