compuvision02 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I was looking at your signature and had some comments about the modifications you ordered. Good choice with the catback, Loud Mouth is amazing, but unless SLP changed their long tube headers design, prepare to scrape, a lot. To finish up, why not sell the catback and just get a custom X-Pipe made? True duals baby! From the sounds of it, this guy can bend and weld well, he could make the pipes out the back, out the sides, or dump at the axle. I was going to go true duals, that's why I bring it up, but I went with a Y-Pipe for simplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 You know, I've been considering that. Just getting cutouts before my rear axle, and run the rest straight out of the back. I can't decide though. I'm really torn on it. I mean if push comes to shove I can sell the unopened catback for some cash and get him to weld me somethin' up. I appreciate the suggestion. I think I'm gonna' go with the custom header-back setup. As for the headers, is it REALLY that tight a fit? I mean the factory OEM one's look like they could be pretty f*cking snug..am I gonna' have to be scraping on the engine bay? LOL. I didn't get dimension's on them and haven't really asked anyone around town how an install with them went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 I meant like this: If you wanted to do a cutout, you don't need to sell your catback, but you might as well switch to something quieter so there is a point to having the cutout. And if you do go the path of true duals and want mufflers, I have two DynoMax bullet mufflers, 3", brand new. Just been sitting in my garage.

Ben. Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 ooooh, dynomax. i've always loved how the bullet mufflers sounded on the 5.0's. surprisingly, i've never heard them on an LSx car. i'm not sure what the hell i want to do yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compuvision02 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Damn, you already ordered a cam?! f*cking right! Check Thunder Racing for heads, they usually have a great selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I might've done it prematurely. We'll have to find out. I'm finding out now that I can go with a bigger cam on this engine than I had originally antcipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 You can go fairly big on those things bone stock and not have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm learning as much. Like I said, I bought and have been swinging blind. Just started doing muh research on the internal capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, don't be afraid to ask me man, I know a good bit about F-Bodies. I admit, I lost a lot of my knowledge with the internals, but I would have been able to help you pick out a pretty serious cam for stock internals. But yeah, are you on any F-Body forums? LS1.com LS1Tech.com LS2.com CamaroZ28.com Those are all decent ones, even though they pretty much are the same forum, just with different web addresses, usually the same groups though. FBody.com That one is alright, a lot of bullcrap though, I got banned from it about 20 times, no joke. Then they learned to just IP bann my ass, haha. MotorCityForums.com That is a good one, but it is a lot of local guys to me. They all know me there, it's a much smaller community, but a lot of serious builds there.

Ben. Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'll probably join LS1Tech..I've heard good thigns about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuvision02 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, I would join LS1.com while you are at it. LS1Tech is good, but sometimes the site is extremely slow, in terms of responses. LS1.com I think is more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
