What mufflers are u runnin?

[harner]

Hooker SuperComps, ORY, Doug's cutout (I think it was closed, but honestly I didn't check lol), and Pypes catback. They use their Violator muffler which is pretty aggressive and one of the best sounding things in existence IMO. I love that it'll be different than the rest of the LT1 crowd from a sound perspective goes.

Not sure what is on your T/A, but I would consider one. They are from Hatfield and set up at most of the big events near us (Maple Grove, Carlisle, Englishtown, etc). Plus, Gail is a reseller. I like to bust their balls in person, though. Only thing you need to consider are tips, which for me the 3"in/4"dual out Corsa Clones were a no brainer.

I grabbed a few items last night that I can sell. Gonna bump up my sale thread and do some modifying later or this week sometime. Also gonna try to push some of the goodies off the Herndon pile LOL

I def love the sound. Idk if my stock motor would sound as good without "lump."

I really love ur tips as well. But as u said... i dont wanna bite ur style.

You wouldn't be taking anything from me, I'd love to see what it sounds like on a stockish car. Also the tips I got are not easy to find so no beef there lol. Seriously though, check it out!

I posted one of the clips in this video on FB and instagram (@thechrisharner). It ran for a minute tops and sounds good. What is the most surprising to my tuner is that the canned tune that was on the PCM from @green96ta BP Automotive is actually pretty decent. He took some fuel out but otherwise it's fairly safe. Still will be retuned, but this was enough to start the car and make it run safely. I've already received mail orders for the car when it was bolt on that were garbage haha.

Anyway, the smoke at the end was paint burning off the headers. No fluids or anything were leaking (knock on wood). Life got in the way on this build, but it's soon done. Last teaser video before dyno time.



Here's another shot of the can setup. The coolant reservoir was the most expensive by far as it's a repurposed Snow meth bottle lol. Looks much better than the OEM one.

I should have taken pics of the Lingenfelter timing tuner, harness, and protective box. It's going in the "hole" on the driver side, behind the hump and between the brake booster and fender. It's actually an electrical box that was painted to match the engine bay. All wiring is cleaned up and loomed. Nitrous solenoids are mounted under the cowl. We took the plastics off and dipped them as you see briefly in the video.

To-do:
Tires need to be looked at as some like to go flat
Front bumper/fogs/support/headlights need installed
Mount the nitrous bottle bracket and heater setup
Interior re-assembly of plastics, clean up and tuck wiring, install steering wheel
Move car to dyno for break-in and tune

There will be more to do, I'm sure. Every time we looked in the engine bay, something got changed or painted lol. Should be strapping it down on the roller tonight if all goes well.

Purchased Hella free form housings and blinglights fog lights.

Hella uses an H4 bulb and the fogs are H3. Both will be using Osram Night Breaker bulbs. I'm usually a Sylvania Silverstar Ultra guy, but these were cheaper and Osram owns Sylvania. Based on the reviews, they should be fine. I could also run HID's in them, but I'd rather rock BLS's sweet projector housings. These will more than exceed my needs for now. Thanks to those who recommended them.

BTW- the housings are clean and the glass is much thicker than I thought. Better than OEM for sure, and I mean both headlights and fogs.

I like the Sylvania Zxe bulbs or the piaa extremes. But good choice. Look forward to seeing it all as one in person!

Hmm. I recall the free forms having a clear front lens. They should outperform the stockers regardless.
