exhaust and intake questions

[whitdog54]

Alright^ thanks pizza, im thinking something like that stall, and 3.73.s or 3.42s, what evers gonna be the tightest, stockish feeling. Plus ls6 intake and P/P tb. THATS final, done bouncing back and forth haha. Thanks for the responses!

mighta already asked this, but will I run into any problems running a tranny cooler in the winter? I know ATF doesnt freeze til like -10 or something, but I can see that happening round here lol

It might not lock up as quickly, if your gunna drive it in the winter it might be a good idea to bypass it.

tranny fluid gets up wards of 250 in the winter or the summer. adding a cooler id run it year round. just dont go and beat on it while its cold.

Alright gonna bump this back up

Already tired of how quiet my exhaust is haha. So time to start looknig at some LTs.

I cant afford brand new stainless steel ARH or kooks headers.So ive just been browsing tech and stuff looking for used. Bad Idea buying used headers? I was looking at some SS LPP LTs and y pipe as well as TSP coated headers and catted y pipe.

TSPs are brand new, but not stainless, but the price was very good, Like 450 (cant find damn link right now) they were coated

The LPPs are SS, but seller says theyre the old style, with new style y pipe. He said resonator was welded in, but could be removed.

So save up for new kooks? or keep browsing for a good used deal? This tax money is burning a whole in my pocket!

imo from someone that had to replace my headers already id wait till u can afford a nice set of stainless LTs that way u dont have to go thru what i did and spend alot of money cause the coated/ no coated ones didnt last. The Kooks are worth what u spend cause ur never gonna have to worry about replacing them. But hey if u have the cash and dont want to wait go for it lol

I would definitely hold out for stainless, do it once, do it right. As for LPPs they sound great on paper but I have heard a lot about fitment issues. You might actually get the most bang for the buck with a nice catback and a good converter, it will sound great and launch harder. Both of those would impact the driving experience much more than LTs IMO.

I think Ill save up for stainless, I was thinking back now in my firebird and remembered how SHOT that coating was on pacesetter ypipe. I was looking to maybe get my ls6intake and the LTs done at once so I could get it all tuned at once, but cant afford that right now. Although, I did find QTP (which I though was good brand) SS LTs 1 3/4 for 400 bucks, thats like 50% off, still need y pipe, but mgiht be good move because im on budget. Guess ill sit on it til tomorrow

Guess im back to just ls6 intake and 3.42s for this year. Anyone know off hand how much Don would charge just to recalibrate for 3.42s?

$800 for the longtubes with a catted Y is a fantastic price
