Default Major Thanks to Strick!

Tom came over this morning about 11:00 am and 6 hours later I have FLP long tubes on my car. This guy has Mobile 1 running thru his veins, many thanks Tom for helping me with this, there is no way I could have done it by myself.

Congratulations on the headers! Wish I could have been there, or at Donovan's for thet matter. Both locations would have provided some great learning experiences!!

Tom IS definitely a great guy! I don't care what Rick says!! Now I know who to call when I get me a set!!

I don't know what Kirby is talking about, all I did was hold his beer and tools. It was fun and I'm a little stiff this morning. It does sound nice. We learned a lot about the LS1 motor.

One thing about this RCG organization, It's damn hard to keep up with these guys! I need another job!

LOL!!! Know wha'cha MEAN Tom! There's some SERIOUS MACHINES in RCG!!! But the best part of the group is the way folks'll "chip in" and help with major/minor "projects" at just the invite!

C'mon now Mark, you know the rules, whatever happens at Kirby's house, stays at Kirby's house.

Now why is it these young guys are always talking about help from the drugs to keep it up? I guess they don't make them like they used to.

I just retutrned from a drive, these headers are awesome. It's amazing how much properly connected plug wires help the performance.

Just got back into town (11:55pm on Sunday night)..sorry I missed all the fun this weekend. Tom's OK as long as you poke him with a stick every now and then to keep him on task

We really are a bunch of modding Idiots...I'm pulling the trigger on one last mod for the Vette this week and thats it

Congrats on your header install Kirby...does your exhaust sound deeper?

Mine did. It opened the Stingers right up.

Congrats to both of you for installing them...not the easiest job on a C5.

Kirby's Vette sounds very similar to Rick's. Just not as much motor pushing the exhaust out, but very impressive. Surprising to me is the ride inside the Vette, quiet until you push the go pedal.

Well, actually don't you have to have cats for it to be a "catback"

I am happy with it, a definate performance improvement and I do like the sound. I am trying to decide if I should get any tuning done at this point.
