Dude, whenever I go through that tunnel or any tunnel for that matter (I did this down in Maryland, and up in Canada on the way home from the MCA show), I have so much fun in there!! If there is no traffic behind me, I slow down, drop it to 2nd, stand on it, shift to 3rd and stand on it, and shift to 4th! WHAT A SOUND AGAINST THE CONCRETE!!! I LOVE IT!!!

Funny thing. On the way back from GOOTC @ MIR dragway in Maryland (GOOTC is Get Out Of The Cold, an event a friend started a few years ago), 7 of us went home via 95 North. When we hit the tunnel in Maryland, I had a Mercedes Benz next behind me. I had a bit of fun inside there. When he came out of the tunnel, I don't think he appreciated me or my exhaust too much. The look on his face wasn't too happy. Oh well. Guess he isn't a car guy.

 

Long tubes are one of the best mods for the S197... DO IT!

 

any way the stock cats could be used with headers? Moneys tight! What else is needed when you go to headers? Where do the headers hook up to the stock exhaust?

 

Longtubes don't really hook up to the stock exhaust with some modification. You can use the stock H-pipe, but the cats would have to go. Another good mod you could do is motor mounts because the are much easier to install while you're under there.

 

if you get longtubes, you can keep the stock H, but you will remove the cats....

your better off getting a LT/x/h pipe combo... that way you can throw it all in and be done with it..

my BBK setup cost me like 1100 but it was complete and works great! and is ceramic coated...

 

Too funny.I like to drop her in third and listen to that exhaust bark when I'm on the expressway in moderate traffic. I'd jab at the gas pedal to make the nose hop up and down as I cruise along the side of another car. Some folk get a kick out of it and if not, I do.

 

That's what I needed was the price or there of. And I as long as I get at least the cats with it, I'm good. Man your hood looks really sharp. I thought about doing my hood in silver like that(windveil) but w/out the shaker.

 

i taped it and prepped it and my dad sprayed it... thanks man

 

I don't thing I will pass emissions with out cats. No one runs headers with cats?

 

I DO!

no emissions problems here....

 

I run them with the high flow cats that were supplied with them. And as was said before all 4 O2's hookup to these headers and mid pipe, I can't speak on emissions, I've never been hooked up to one. What about those mil eliminators, can they get you past an emission test?

 

Thats about the going rate...

 

mil eliminators do nothing for emissions tests.....

they only stop your pcu from throwing a code...

some tests will look for things like this and you will fail with mil eliminators.

 

Same here. Hi-Flows with the H-Pipe from ARH. Passes with flying colors!!!

 

When I have Tillman hook them up for me, I'll explain to them what I need as far as the state goes cause all of the mils and o2 sensors; I know of them but I'm not fully knowlegable of these things. Plus I like the fact that they keep things safe. Once I get all of the loose ends tied up, I want to put down some numbers at the track.

 

Shawns shooting for 310+RWHP, eh?

 

Yes indeed, Pleeease believe that!!

 

have any pictures of your system to post for us?

 

On me right now, no. I would have to jack the car up in the air to get the pics of the H-Pipe from ARH. I'll see what I can do in the next few days. I am taking the wheels off, to get my new BFGs put on (original set from factory lasted 24K miles, not too bad). I can take a few shots then.

 

Do they make the ARH with a catted H-Pipe? If so where is the best place to buy?
