Thread: header install ?'s

dude...just throw on a 3.2 pulley, and a short ram air cold air intake, and a super chip, and you'll hear that s/c scream!

but really...I wish mine were quieter...probably going to sell my first born for some borlas sometime.

and then ill end up like you with 3 chipped pistons and some messed up lifters...and it will sound great. If you know what i mean lol

Hey now...that engine purred...
notice how it doesnt even complain that the piston is hitting the heads...thats a good motor right there XD.

But yeah....it's gonna start getting work done once im back in state.
Of course i'll document it with lots of pics...

hell i'll do a total engine rebuild guide, with color pictures!

ooo color..sounds fancy

wait like coloring pages? i promise ill stay in the lines.

heck yeah, none of that auto parts store manual black and white bull ****.

and just for you silva, i'll make some of them coloring pages. So you can color it to your likings...even though I did all the work XD.

I like how my straight pipes sound at idle, sounds okay until about 3k then just crap after that. Very loud though. Also having no cat will make it sound worse too, I almost want to put one back in.

Yeah, if I had it to do over again...

Headers--High-Flow catalytic--Longest glasspack I could find--Borla mufflers.

Same, but what's wrong with the stock res?

Not a thing, but if its damaged any, or falling off like mine, grab a glasspack.
If its in good shape, keep it on there

Well said. Your car really doesn't like you lol.

Nope...it sure as hell doesnt like me...

Personally I think the motor blew because I paint the car...and it liked being black, lol.

But, Short of transmission work, and some bottom end stuff, I can do most anything needed to that car...so I save a **** ton on labor

well hopefully with these flowmasters and down the road the borlas will help with sound. on my 200 t/a, i bought the slp loudmouth when i had stock headers and y-pipe with clogged cats and it sounded awsome. then i went to long tube headers and 3" y pipe with no cats and sounded like garbage, and was retarded loud. with my 2001 on the other hand, had long tubes but custom made true duals with x pipe, same concept with the mufflers like the slp just different brand and sounded f-ing mean and very loud. theres a fine line with exhuast and making it sound good, just gotta find it and tip toe that line.

That's good you can do your own work, I wish I was the same way lol.

k thnx, can you just make sure to label all the different pieces of the pistons, as im sure they wont be in one piece

c'mon...really??

assholes, all of you!

And yeah, the car looks good in my sig, but anything closer than 5feet really kills it.
It started to have clear-coat failure, and had some really really nasty scratches. And the lower 1/2 of the car was very faded...

So I painted it tan...lol
It looks good, but I'm not posting any pics til its totally done...
Mostly tan, with flat black trim.

Oh I know about the clear coat fade, mine is pretty damn bad. Hey as long as it looks good. PICS!!!

Nah...not done yet...I might post a teaser pic sometime...

More than likely, I'll just do a member's rides thread, chronicling the life and deaths...along with the transformation from black to tan.

I will say though, the side mirrors look ****ing awesome flat black.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Jk lol but I've never seen that color scheme, curious to see it.

its funny...we were talking about how everyone was assholes in slowpokes thread about the pop and fries..then you call us assholes in here..just ironic lol
