Fast Intentions Long Tube Headers are here!

I did not buy the LTH , but remember talking directly to Tony when he first advertised them, got to admit, seemed a stand up guy and answered all my questions.

Dont deal with the Monkey when you can talk directly to the Organ grinder.

I've had these headers for a few months and love them. However, recently its come into question on whether the LTH's plus a straight pipe 2.5" exhaust is to free flowing and takes away some torque. Not giving out names but a member on here made close to the same numbers as I did but he had a fatter torque curve. However, he had a manufactured CBE whereas I had homemade straight 2.5" plumbing. He also had intakes and pulleys, I have neither. The numbers weren't alarmingly different but just wondering what you guys think about it being to much flow.

On a NA car a straight flowing exhaust like ours you will lose some low end but should have a slightly higher end.

NYBladeZ · 01-19-2011, 08:53 PM

Yeah I think that's what happened, all in all I've made within 1-2% of the same amount of HP as Z's with intakes, pulleys, hfc's and a tested cbe with just LTH's straight piping and a tune. I love this piece, now if GTM can make it work with their S/C kit we're in the money.

Should know soon, just trying to get everything scheduled with Baker right now.

Just want to say, I spoke, at length, with Tony today about the FI LTH's and his CBE. Actually, wound up calling about 3 times as I thought of more ?s. What a great guy, he took the time to answer everything very honestly and straightforward.

Wound up placing an order for a set of ceramic coated LTH's and non-resonated CBE w/carbon fiber mufflers. Now the hard part, waiting till March.

Thanks Tony!

These headers are a great product. My power band from 5 to 75 is drastically different. I recommend these to everyone. My only problem I had was removing my air/fuel sensors from my factory manifolds. I dont know if they are heat welded or if it is a pull em out and your screwed type of deal with the factory warranty (lots of problems if you search with headers or going with a turbo set up). Anyway be very carefull getting these out. Get some PB Blaster and soak the hell out of them. After a half turn if it gets any tensions then stop and soak again. It will save you about $700 bucks!!!

I feel your pain brother! I soak them and then work them back and forth about a quarter turn at a time. Sometimes they come out very easily. Other times I have to be patient with them. In the end though I have never had to replace a set to date!

On a brighter note, I am glad you are enjoying the headers. Do not hesitate to call me if you need anything...

Thanks, Tony

Hahaha.

They are not that bad to build. Just very time consuming. Alot of steps in the build process.

I hope to never have to stop the production process!!!

Has anyone experienced any excess noise since installing the headers. Seems to me that there is alot more noise coming from the engine compartment. Thinking I should install new header gaskets but just wanted to get an opinion. Yes the car is louder without cats but the noise I am trying to explain seems to be like an exhaust leak or somewhat. The factory gaskets were reused and were not damaged during the installation. I followed the instructions during install as well. (Torque bolts from center to out).

I haven't noticed any excess noise? When are you hearing this noise? At starting, idle, acceleration, cruising, or deceleration?
