I added another post with more recent news yesterday but it's not here.... So let me try again.
I ordered some Stainless Works headers with cats and I plan to run a "true dual" set up with 2 Jones Turbine mufflers but the 3030XL. After those I bump up to 3.5" and run the same resonators and tips.
Already pre fab'd the muffler set up so I will just have to connect the 2 together. Headers should be here today, install this weekend and tune on Monday!!
I was surprised it wasn't much louder with the headers. I had a corsa sport on a 05 gto and when i added the headers there was a huge difference in sound.
I was a little surprised too. It is the XL muffler that has the built in resonator and I do have the "race mufflers" too right before the tips. In person it does have a more loud growl in start up and not just cold starts. It definitely sounds different at idle (not loud just different) and when it gets some load, like really wanting to pass someone it screams.
But I'm glad, living in California I can't complain.
Picked up an AFE Momentum and it was stupidly easy to install. Haven't got a chance to see if I notice any improvements yet...
Also decided to make some traction bars, so I'm starting that now too.
don't mind the dirty engine bay
Nice job, looks good sounds good, but get those headers JetHot coated! and really the whole thing, it will keep the stainless looking nice and not turn black and ugly. Nice numbers too, I'd like to see the dyno sheet, bet the torque is nice and flat all the way across.
I'll think about the jet coating... maybe once I do the cam/head work but I may be too broke then, Lol.
So I could use some options. I was really leaning towards ALUMINUM traction bar links. I figured it's only helping support unlike an actual 4 link, I still have the full leaf pack so should be less twist than the lowered guys that remove a leaf... but what do you guys think? 1½" x ⅛ aluminum round tube with bushings on both ends.
