Just a little unofficial experiment.

Oh I know. I want to drop it off at Coreys for the headers X pipe exaust and tune if he ever answered my emails back on when to drop it off. He must be swamped right now. Have you guys ever seen Coreys custom built headers? They are badazz. He got the fixtures and tube bending mandrels from Geoff Jeal and makes them from scratch to fit each car perfectly. Ceramic coated inside and out. And he puts the o2 sensors in the right place. $1150 for them. And the word is they make more hp than any header on the market for our cars. I don't know if its been scientifically proven. I know two guys that have them. One makes 410rwhp. And the other makes 409rwhp. Both have top end porting from corey. One car was a 90 and the other was a 93. But those are pretty consistent numbers.

That link happens to be right on target Tyler. Unless you have been there and done that, you are very unlikely to know the reality of "what I really do." Just so happens, I have been there & done that.

I also agree. Almost 90% of the parts we make are for the oil industry. While people were complaining about how high gas is the owners of the shops would always say "Hey"! I can afford $5 and $6 dollar a gallon gas. But I can't afford $2 dollar a gallon gas. And at that time I just didn't get that logic. Now I do. The higher the price per barrel it goes the better it is for us people in the industry. The more money the oil companies make the more they invest which trickles right back to the machine shops that get the huge orders and back logs which = buying more machines and hiring more people to keep up with the demand. If your in the oil industry that's a good thing. If your not it doesn't do anything for you. That's just a fact of life.

Just a suggestion.
2" primaries headers
full 3" all the way down thru the mufflers,X-pipe.
Dynomax Mufflers #1728
Do not let anybody tell you you will loose power with a good free flowing exhaust on the LT5.

I believe you. Im looking at the 3"B&B. I heard the old B&B was better because there was no restrictor plate. If that'd true can the restrictor plate be removed out of the new ones easily or is it not worth doing Pete?

B&B has changed there mufflers a few times,i wouldn't take the chance.

I would cut the B&B mufflers & tips,buy Dynomaxx 17228 mufflers (Al has 2 of them for sale $160 for both) weld the Dynomaxx to B&B system w/ B&B tips so you'll have the B&B look,balls out perfomance with good sound very docile.

I think there was a direct correlation to the price of gas in 2008 and the collapse of our economy. I have a feeling we will see a repeat this year. Pray I am wrong.

So the dynamax mufflers are better performance mufflers than the B&B ones? If so that's what I'll do. I'll take em for $160.
