  • Finally Got my Catback

    Well I went with 2.75" I-pipe and when it was being installed the guy found a problem. He showed me that the O2 sensor was after the cat so he could either leave it 2.25" out of the cat and then open it up or make a 3" pipe out of the cat and put a dung in there. I had him do the 2nd option.

    Sound: Whoa damn. Idle is like a throaty V8 now. Get on the gas and the Dynomax rivals the "loundness" of a flowmaster and it sounds better...no ricey popcorn sounds when the revs come back down (no flames meant on ppl w/flows)

    Performance: I was expecting a little more. Loss no low end power. I took the car to the track and ran the same E.T.s but at a higher RPM. Here were my runs...
    15.31, 15.40, 15.44 all at 87.xxMPH. I was really looking for a 14.9@90 or something like that. My 60' can't get any better with 2.12s all day. Am I still dying in the first 1/8th or the last 1/8th when I'm getting 9.8@70MPH?

              yea Rob I forgot the name of it...I got all confused from that other thread a while ago where he called it a dung/bung whatever...and ever since then I've been all confused. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

              I'll record the sound sometime...but I need a hi-quality mike...all I hear is a lot of hiss with my exhaust...it makes it sound like $hit

                Building the Tom Henry RS
                Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
                By: Hib Halverson


                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
