    More header dillemas and a couple questions for anyone with Hooker Longtubes

    My car is tuned and they turned off the rear 02 monitor, so no CEL. FWIW, I went with the MAC longtubes.

    leafblower charger...

    haha you beat me to it latino. So obviously it does SOMETHING, but that isn't any kind of significant power gain. But it also only works on a stationary dyno, where are you gonna plug the leaf blower in on the road? If you run it off a power invertor, the added load on the alternator will...

    Death Race

    What is that? Some kind of chinese copy of a CAMARO? Death Race was awesome. Me and my girlfriend both really liked it, and she's not a guy, and I'm not a guy drinking beer...

    I want LOUDER!!!!

    So what's going on here, are those violators on yet? Do you like them? I'm waiting for you to tell everyone they sound awesome, so there will be people lining up in droves to buy my Violators and X pipe this spring after my longtubes and Stingers go on...

    STUPID A$$ side windows...

    A framed door wouldn't look right for this style of car.

    Need wheel advice

    Well, do you really like these wheels? If so, buy tires for them. If it were me I'd ditch them right away, 20s are way too big for these cars.

    STUPID A$$ side windows...

    I have had my windows frozen before, and like others said just open and close it, the window will pop in. European cars have done this for decades and you never hear about it, and they are electrically about as reliable as an underwater toaster. Also, like was said above it is very rare for...

    Doesn't GT stand for Gran Touring?

    GT VS TA

    What's done to your car? That TA could easily be a high 12/low 13 car... Stock for stock, it's a good race. But once you start modding, the LS1 will have your ass.

    Questions about the strip...

    Yeah I don't even do a standing burnout or anything, just revv it up, drop the cluthc and spin them for a few feet to clean them. Standing on the skinny pedal till you get traction will give horrible 60'. My best luck with them (got 2.0s with the stockers) was by revving the engine toa bout...

    I want LOUDER!!!!

    Not really. I used to, but now it is starting to annoy me. It sounds real good up to about 2000 RPM, but above that it is really high pitched and raspy, I compare it to a kid in puberty screaming. Under load it's a little better, but sounds real tinny. But who knows, you might love it. The...

    I want LOUDER!!!!

    No you won't need new hangers, not sure why everyone tries to push those damn Pypes hangers. My opinion on the violator is that it sounded good with stock H pipe, don't care for it with an X. It also was hard to line up correctly and is overall cheap. One of them had a crooked exhasut tip...

    How much weight should I put in the trunk

    I don't have snow tires, nor did I put weight in the trunk. I have never had an issue with gaining foward momentum, only problem I have is when the snow is too deep and ground clearance is the problem (which sand won't help), and even then the car still got going fine, I just hated the constant...

    Well, I've got 6-8 inches of snow to look foward too tomorrow!

    New ET Streets on :)

    Does your clutch have any sings of slipping? What you describe is dragging. That COULD be due to a worn clutch disc, if all the lines are worn off and it is creating a vacuum and sticking to the flywheel, but it is more likely something else (bad pilot bearing, bad slave cylinder, air in the...

    I want LOUDER!!!!

    SLP would be th eloudest, it's just muffler delete. I have Violators with an offroad X pipe, it's extremely loud, I'd call it obnoxious. But gets real raspy at higher RPM. Then again you're used to flowmasters....

    blueprints for a 3v4.6

    Rather than taking one apart or getting a spare engine, I'd get a set of CMCV delete plates and go off that...

    long tube header install

    You can't jack the CAR up on the pan, but you're just lifting the engine a few inches. I use the oil pan for that all the time on just about every kind of car.

    long tube header install

    I wouldn't do it there. It'd probably be ok, but the commonly accepted way is to put the jack (with a block of wood) under the oil pan.
