Default HEADERS installed/Lowered the Z...VIDS and PICS

Recently, I installed DYNATECH Long Tube headers (CATLESS) with a x-pipe. Stock Ti exhaust. Nothing major in the clips, just a couple of DRIVE BYs...





There were a few police officers cruising around, so I could not do anything extreme.

Here are a few pictures of the car lowered. Everyone here seemed to want me to do that, so I did just to make everyone happy. Looks damn good (I knew it would), but there are clearance issues now!





I took the front bolts out and just did what I could to even all four corners out. Had it aligned and very pleased.

Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday Season!

We need to do some more sound bites/videos. These are okay, but need somewhere with less traffic and less law enforcement.

Yes. We can maybe borrow that GoProHD camera or use the DVDR video camera I have.

Thanks everyone. I am tweaking on the tune to try and max out the power. I am hoping for 390-400 RWHP and 375-380 RWTQ with my setup. I am thinking it is very possible.

Do the Dynatech's hang lower than the underside of the car?

There is a section around the collector area that is a tad lower than anything else, but I am just careful when I go into parking garages or over speeds bumps. Think light...

As for the RIDE quality, a little stiffer, but I LOVE it. Cornering is tighter. The stance and the balance of the car's appearance and feel is just right for me.

I need to do better video of the drive-byes for you, around sunset or sunrise. Better lighting and sound.
In real life it sounds much better.
