I heard one LT1 with a magnaflow catback and it sounded beautiful and then I heard another and it sounded like a series of terrible pops and bangs..is that the tin popping noise? That goes away after a while? I'm thinking of buying one just for kicks, not driving for 6 months left me with some coin.

My flowmaster did the popping thing, this one does not... I like this better. When I get headers I will like it even more...

Re: magna
Ok so what is the main diff between headers and manifolds? Is a header going to change the sound that much?

Re: magna
Yes.
Manifolds are crap.
Headers flow a bunch better.
With a good tune, headers are good for 25 RWHP.

Re: magna
Hard to say with you living in Oregon.
Some shop that can edit your computer obviously.
Or even a mail order tune from TSP or like shop.

Re: magna
I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to tuning a car.
Takes some serious learning. But if you want to, you can do it.

Re: magna
Programmers... a good one is HPTuners however it takes a lot of learning and also 500 bucks
Stuff liek hypertech power programmer don't waste your time/money on
I'd check the HPTuners forums to see if you can find anyone nearby and if not I hear good things about both TSP and PCM4Less mail order tunes.

Re: magna
Yes.
Couldn't think of the name.
They are pretty good as well, and not terribly expensive.
But nothing beats a good dyno tune.

Re: magna
I'd be looking for new headers if it didn't look damn near impossible to put on in my cramped engine compartment
