FINALLY installed my LG headers -- and WOW!!!
LTs to be precise!! Nearly THREE YEARS after I bought them, I installed my LGs today.
Some may remember the saga -- I bought them on a group buy around July 2005 and immediately sent them to JetHot for coating -- JetHot banged them up quite a bit, so I sent them back and their 'repair' was to just recoat them, so I sent them back AGAIN! Only this time, they got lost when a little thing called Katrina hit (JetHot's factory for the southeast is Mississippi), so when it FINALLY all got resolved (JetHot buying new headers directly from LG), I got them about 1 week before deploying to Iraq. Immediately upon returning from Iraq, I transferred from Florida to Rhode Island, and then 3rd child came, and then I just kept putting it off...
Well the wait is FINALLY over, and the results BLEW me away!! A buddy and I installed them today at the base hobby shop. On startup, these things ROARED!! Finally, with my Borla 2-tip Stingers, my car sounds EXACTLY like a true American muscle car should sound. The 20-minute drive home was the first time in a long time I didn't listen to the radio. The rumble was music to my ears.
Now I can't wait to get the car retuned by Don (Slowhawk)... I'll post the results next week.
Cheers,
Vaughn
