well theres an overwhelming vote here for te obx setup.....

the only thing i wouldnt like is the h pipe it comes with cause of the raspiness.....

its more expensive to go with bbk, but i think i would be happier in the long run.

RFLgtcs, where'd you get the L/Ts and X pipe? I'm thinking about doing the same setup you have. I've heard several similar setups in person and the one you have sounds best, imo.

i have the american racing headers and i got them here under "header complete kits"

http://www.LMPerformance.com/c/7/73....omplete%20Kits

i think they have some of the lowest prices on exhaust parts

trust me you will not be disappointed. imo its the best header made for the s197 and the power is incredible

i was at around 3000rpms today in second and hit it and the tires just started spinning. and this is on a stock gt with long tubes and tune.

A question, if you 'plan' on getting a supercharger, should you get the 1 3/4 headers now rather than the 1 5/8 that is reccomended for the the n/a setup. Or should you just change it when you buy the s/c.

I'm planing on getting one in about 2 or 3 years, and I'll probably get my exhaust system in about 6 months to a year.

Congrats! Curious why you ended up with the BBKs instead of OBX?

i decided to just spend the extra dough and know for sure i would be completely satisfied with a quality product that meets my needs.

the obx sounds like a great deal and good setup, but i chose the bbk's

Quick hijack, can anyone explain how you go about getting a set of headers jet-hot coated? Is there a particular distributor or performance shop?

TIA
