Sadly, I think you really have to do this in order to clear your name. People believe what they read and right now there is a lot being written that LTH's will not work with a supercharger even though Tony said they would. Nevermind the fact that superchargers have worked better with less restrictive exhausts for the past century, now things have magically changed for the VQ37VHR. I think that getting your hands on a well tuned supercharged 3.7L and doing a back to back study of restrictive vs unrestrictive exhaust would force the others to answer some questions. I would leave the cat-back the same in order to eliminate variables and tune each combo for their best performance. And it looks like you would have to use a Stillen kit as it looks like this is the only supercharger that is out right now that can push enough air.

To be honest with everyone else, I have no intention of buying LTH's. I have a set of hfc's and a set of Stillen headers in the basement that I believe would work real well for me. I got both the headers and the hfc's used and cheap. My reason for posting is because someone is putting out bad information about a supercharger needing backpressure in order to run efficiently. That is simply not true.
It is sad and true. You better be careful. Some people will chop your nuts off if you say anything bad about GTM not that it matters and most of those people are not that bright when talking about the mechanics of cars. Some people have buy into Bull**** when they dont understand and they are having issues with there setup.

I agree, however I admittingly was one of those who were big GTM S/C supporters. I have my LTH's at home and looking them over I can't say they look anything short of brilliant. The N/A installs also back up everything that Tony is saying and I'm sure it'll change the sound of my stock exhaust (test pipes on right now).

I guess we'll have to give it some more time and let the tuners figure out what they are doing but one thing is very clear, you cannot expect to keep on oem headers and cats with a power adder and keep it reliable in the long run.

Headin' down to float the Guadalupe this weekend so I will be out of pocket if you attempt to contact me Tony. I'll be leaving the Dallas area around 2p and I'm guessing I'll start missing phone calls about 6p or so.

I'm good for paying for my headers, I'll just pick a card to put them on

Oh, and another thing... CERAMIC COATED

On a side note, I am getting married on July 3rd and I will be out of the office from starting July 2nd and will not be returning until July 12th. MY GOAL is to have the entire group buy completed and shipped before I leave. That is sets #1-25! That leaves 3 more sets within the next week. I will try to make it happen. I know that this has taken longer than most have expected, myself included. Let's remember though production started a month late due to the tooling being almost a month late. In addition we have discovered that production on these is a little more time consuming than originally projected. I will always keep the lines of communication open, this is why I am telling all of this...

Thanks, Tony
