Mods installed finally

[Johns00Z28]

Well I finally got my LT's, ORY, magnaflow, lid, ls6 manifold and NGK plugs installed this week. Also ditched the EGR/AIR crap so it looks a lot cleaner now. The car sounds awsome! I have a few more mods to install next week then I'll be on my way to get it tuned. I want to drive my car all the time now....looking for excuses to drive...lol. Anyone else feel that way after getting some mods put in?

I've been known to just start mine in the driveway and sit in it for a few minutes.

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah man it's great to actually be able to hear it start up. I think I just opened up a can of worms w/ these mods...lol

Hey U have a 2000 z28 also, How did you get rid of the egr? did you block it or take it off, if so can you do it on your own and does the car need a programmer so the computer does not freak out

[Johns00Z28]

I took the egr out completely but it is throwing an egr code so I plan on getting that deleted once I get it tuned.

Heh I start mine too and do walkarounds to hear the sounds, just like a youtube "I just installed my sweet exhaust" video

I know the feeling... You better see if you can start paying your speed shop via direct deposit... this is gonna get expensive for you

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah it the install was pretty cheap for everything I did....only $300!

[Midnight02]

Yikes John! It might be worthwhile for me to drive to MD just to go to your speed shop! HAHA!

Congrats on the mods....now the fun begins. I thought I was completely done after a few bolt ons and a simple cam swap.....I thought wrong! It's a disease for which there is only one real cure.....more horsepower!

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah the mechanic actually has his own shop at his house....you could fit two 18 wheelers in side by side...it's huge...lol. You are right though, there definitely isn't a cure for the horsepower junkie! I should try to get some pics up cause I know this thread is worthless without them....lol

[2002 WS6 KILLS]

Wow, $300 for the install of everything you listed?? I really might drive to Maryland for that. I'm in South Jersey, it'd be worth the drive!!

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah I was pretty suprised too. I called a local speed shop and they wanted like $300-400 just for the header install....screw that!!! lol

[mark21742]

if I wouldn't be afraid of exhaust kilg me i'd sit in the garage all day and night with the door closed reving it then letting it idle, then reving it again.... wait i have done that and it didn't kill me yet. The best time was after i put the long tubes and fired it up open headers. lol when i reved it the car got a thich layer of dust and dirt it from the vibration knocking everything off the walls and ceiling

[mark21742]

hey john00z28, drive on up to the hagerstown area and you might get an even better deal...plus thats a good excuse to take the car on a good 40 mile drive!

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah I should have listened to it before putting the rest of the exhaust on. Nice avatar btw...lol

[Johns00Z28]

I'd be hardpressed to find a better deal....plus I know the guy so I know he's not ripping me off or doing a half assed job.

[Johns00Z28]

Thanks man, just a couple more things to do then I'm planning on taking a road trip down to see Frost for a tune.

[Eagle]

Good deal. Frost will take care of you. Just wait till u see what a GOOD tune does for the car!

-Eagle

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah man I'm gonna mess around and get myself in trouble...lol

[biga0206]

I just did about the same and it feels great. What other mods are you doing before the tune?
