Desertdawg Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I finally found a few hours to myself today.... I bought these from a CF member in July, between the heat and work they sat in the closet just waiting to be installed.....Trying to get the vette high enough just to get the lift under it took about half an hour. (first time with the C5)Yeah they are shorties, but I didn't want to loose bottom end torque, I could bolt them in myself with no other exhaust mods needed, and they were a really decent price...Just about out with the old.I had a little helper... by little I mean someone with hands small enough to reach the drivers side rear bolts. But she really helped quit a bit bolting the coils back on, and other girly chores.... New iridium plugs and some GM RED wires to top off the day!!!I only drove it a little way, and it feels a little stronger already, I can definitely hear a difference at WOT.... I don't know if I want to go cat delete or get some high flow cats to go in it yet.The guy I bought them from had them on a 98 auto with no cats Walker muffs, and a CIA. Here's his dyno sheet without a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 That's sweet Dawg. I'm really curios how those shortys do compared to the long tubes too. I was thinking about shortys at one point too...but alas, I got the long ones. Lets see the comparo on dyno day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
