Videos are great man. Your car sounds awesome!! Good job on the exhaust work and documenting it for the thread.

One question though...I was looking through an older thread earlier today concerning true duals and you had a post in it stating you really liked your td setup and wouldn't ever go back to a Y-pipe. What made you change your mind?

Well I custom made them myself. The system wasn't made for our cars but I welded it up and made it fit (first time welding and I'm 18). So it drug on the ground everywhere and had leaks at he collectors because of poor figment. So I wanted to go with a system made for our cars and would work for sure. And then this y pipe just came out so t was perfect timing.

In all honesty I like this better then my dials sound wise. And I didn't notice a loss at sotp so nothing was really lost

Wow! this is just the thread I was looking for.

That setup is looking real good. I've been considering LPP or pacesetter headers and the TSP y-pipe.

twitchtwice, how easy was the install on those LPP headers ?

That's good to know, they sure looks good in the pictures.

Do you know if LPP makes headers with the EGR and air tube fittings ?

These links are all I'm able to find.

No the header they make is the race version only. You may as well get rid of your egr and air. Since headers are illegal technically it's too late haha

If I stay here in california, I'll have to reinstall all that stuff every two years.

If I leave california ( like I'm hoping to )... depending on where I move ...
no more worries.
