FRPP shorty headers ceramic coated.
They added more torque and hp before the Vortec install
Look and sound good.
Worth it for me I didn't want to fool with L/T and emission standards up here.
I'm already pushing the limits of the engine now with the shorties on.
I'm running a lower tune now and may still dial it back a bit. 474 rwhp

Cheers!

I was wondering if anyone had the FRPP ones. How does it sound with your FRPP axle backs ? Never mind lol

You should pull your car off the lift and get the girl mechanics on yours :~)
next year that will be the case... Funny you should say that, the car was actually getting the gears, shorty, and xpipe installed at the time of that photo. They were doing a calendar shoot for the shop.

BBK ceramic coated shorties less than 400.00
They fit great, no install issues I installed them myself just a little time consuming.
HP gains, I don't know but shorties are said to make additional HP and torque low in the RPM range which is where I drive 99% of the time.
If I had to do it again I'd do the same thing.

I don't know which thread I was reading awhile back but I read what you said about that being your car on the lift and not w/ the ladies. That is funny though that is what was being done to your stang. Good luck next year w/ the photo shoot.

Since I have a lift in my garage and my car is not a daily driver I was under no time constraints to get it done so I really took my time. I'd work on it in the evenings after work until I got tired then leave it until I felt like working on it again. You'll get a better idea of how long it takes/took from someone who had to get there car back on the road, sorry.

Yeah!
There borla stingers (FRPP)
Very loud and deep rumble I have an X pipe too.
WOT sounds fantastic.
My wife said she can hear me coming into town 2 km's away and I'm not even on it.
The neighbors confirmed that as well. They like the sound by the way!
