03shadow yeah its silver and i'll be sure to remind you in 2 years.
Does anyone know if Pace-Setter Long Tubes are a good choice?
What does it mean when Heades come with EGR FITTINGS?
I have an '03 3.8L Auto. No Catz.

Pacesetter is just the other company that makes LT's for our cars. MAC is the best. The EGR fitting is essential if you want to keep all the emissions components on your car. The EGR(exhaust gas recirculation... i believe) is the tube that goes from your header to the front of the intake, theres a valve that controls how much exhaust gas is put back into the engine via vacuum.

Without the EGR you wont pass an emissions test. or Sniffer. I dont know Im from Saskatchewan and we dont have emissions testing.

So its off-topic but I figured I'd share. With my new exhaust/tune I got 20mpg with 100% city driving, what do you guys usually get in the city? I was pretty happy with it due to my heavy car/rims.

So do you think everything will fit fine then?
Shuan thats really great mileage. I'm getting about 15ish. My Cobra R's arent
the heaviest rims but they're heavier that stock so.
Was that with a less aggressive tune?

No it should be a more aggressive tune than the canned 87 "economy tune". And I think my termi rims are heavier than your cobra r's. Yeah it should all fit fine,

year your cobras are probably a bit heavier.
so a more aggresive tune gave you those results?
when I installed my 93-tune I noticed a decrease in MPG's.

It was a custom 91 octane email tune. Not a canned 93 octane tune. When I put my canned 93 octane tune on I saw a drop in mpg too. With this custom one (and my new exhaust) i've seen an increase in mpg and performance of either of my old canned tunes even though diablo claims they've done "extensive research" into their canned tunes which work well with bolt on's. Should be back to the track this week, I'll let you know the actual gains.

well I was thinking of selling my Diablo and trying to get another
hand-held tuner. Any recomendations? For sure let us know your times.
You mean $190 and that includes the shipping cost?
