Planning on getting it on the dyno in the next 1-2 weeks

Oh and the best part..........NO SES LIGHT! NO SIMS OR O2 SPACERS! WTF!? #WINNING
Sounds about what I want to do. Looking forward to the dyno #s. I plan on going 1 step farther and tuning the car just because I'm bored

You should do another video of you driving so we can get a feel for what it sounds like

^I def will
Gonna try to make a few vids 2morrow if it doesn't rain, I was gonna tune the car and had a VAFC-II already but sold it literally 2 weeks before the rear pre-cat started rattling, because at that point I changed my mind and wasn't going to do headers -_____________-

I've got an exhaust video... just ignore the first bit where I'm walking down the driveway to the garage. (IDK what I was doing.)

Cattman Y-Pipe, gutted pre-cats, OEM main-cat, Cattman 2.5" cat-back

In high definition, too. Turn up the volume

^oh ok, cuz I was thinking maybe the y-pipe had something to do with no o2 but guess not.
The front one was easy, but the rear one was a B1TCH!

Just for me? I'm flattered. Your one lucky s.o.b to get away with that. How many miles have you put on the car with the current setup? No cats, no sims, etc?

Ha ha, no. Don't care.

Based on the truly excellent condition of my car, the care and maintenance since I bought it new, the mods installed, and everything I've read on the Org over the last few years... it's very likely around 240whp, give or take a broad guess.

There, chew on that. HP is irrelevant.

Interested in the dyno results, although we won't have a b4 mods base. Or will we?

Seen the videos I thought it was going to be a rev up like Rochester or a drive by ...and what exhaust do you have on there might have missed it.....

Drive-by's require an assistant, and a little bit of guts (or restraint, LOL).

Here's an interior video. If you crank up the volume, you get a sense of the exhaust tone at idle. (Ignore the rattle... that was my tension pulley, since replaced.)

Sure it will. Look at the code behind these video posts. It's not difficult.

Hmm... sounds like you've got this lion in the trunk, and he's purring. Nice.
