I kno there is tons of PI Swap topics on here. I just wanted to know if that it would change the sound of my car. And I have a chance to pick up PI Heads and Intake for 170. But I have to get one of the heads fixed on of the spark plugs was blown out and it needs to be re-machined. Should I pick these up. I already have the full head change kit.

Yea why not, get the spark plug repaired correctly and it will be fine. As far as changing the sound of the vehicle ??? ah not really much. maybe a little but it would be more cam related then anything.

the re-threads are supposed to be stronger than stock, or so i was told. i had to get it done on the girls sunfire and its been over a year no problems with it. basically they just tap the sparkplug larger and then drill in a bronze insert iirc.

I remember my tone getting slightly deeper when i did my PI swap. But i am crazy so....

a bump in compression and increase in airflow, it makes sence. just like when u put a cai on the car it sounds a bit different.

My tone got louder cause when I did my head swap I also got rid of my 6 catse for a long tube o/r x-pipe setup. A lot louder.
