ART PIPES VS LTH (F.I or PPE)

Methodical4u

all you're doing is trying to put a plug in to sell your LTH's.. why are you selling them if they put out such good gains exactly?

theDreamer

Plug for my headers, I was not the one who mentioned my sale. People can find them in the FS thread on their own if they want them.
Why I am changing? I have a SC and they work fantastically, but I am moving towards something more than just gains as I always have. Balance is key with my car, now just in weight or power but also sound and style. It all has to work together to achieve what I want. Power is only a small percentage of what one can do to a car.

What are you currently using in the location for the stock cats? Stock cats, HFC's or test pipes?

theDreamer

Currently I am o stock header/cats as I decide what I plan to do. I am thinking a RTP with stock headers and maybe a whole new exhaust.

Another factor to think about: You can get away with running the stock ECU tune with most simple bolt-ons (e.g. HFCs, etc), but a full set of intake/exhaust boltons including LTH pretty much requires a dyno tune. I know because I'm running LTH on my stock tune right now (temporarily), and the bottom end of the rev range is horrid once the engine is heat-soaked, it's worse than stock

Stay in touch as you change your setup or plan to make changes. Particularly if you change the whole exhaust too. I'll have something very interesting for you to dyno test with your SC.
