Default Long Tube install done

Got my dynatech long tubes and catted x installed. I'm running some pypes race pro m80's in front of the axle and straight pipe out the back. I am SO happy with the sound of the car now...after a year of playing with different exhaust and almost 2k later...i have the sound i want. But the real kicker is the seat of the pants difference in performance with the headers. It has complimented all of the other mods so far. The 4.10's get the car in rpms where the headers like to operate, you can hear the intake sucking so much more air now too. Windows up or down, radio on, and exhaust screaming...when you nail it and grab a gear you can really hear that whoosh from the intake. I got her to run a 13.2 a while back before the headers, gears, tires, and shifter. I am certain she will break 12's now. To have a daily driver that will run like that, look amazing, cruise from one ocean to another, and still get 25+ mpg on the highway is phenomenal to me. I'm happier than a hobowith a ham sandwich!!!

Why? LTs are very hard to see under the hood.

Install was about half a day. I had a local shop do it while i was at work. I have never posted a picture of my car on here. I can't do it from work and the x wife got the computer. Dell is getting a call soon. I hope to have some soon, just got a bangin' lil' digital camera!

I want to install longtubes and a new exhaust system but may wait until the warranty expires. I imagine the sound must be awesome and can hardly wait to hear one in person.
