What X pipe? The LM1's are too raspy but that sounded worlds better than bbk o/x with LM1s lol. Sounded okay. Actually sounds like my car with just a magnaflow x pipe, raspy.

I like the sound with the LM2's. Pretty deep modern muscle car sound. Although that's why I'm curious what x pipe you have.

 

[stangbanger856]

UPR off road x pipe. The BBK unit is more of a H pipe then X because its stamped then welded compared to UPRs mandrel bends that intersect.

Found a set of Ceramic coated SLP long tube headers for sale locally so I should be picking them up within a week to add to my parts pile.

Hopefully when the time comes I can install everything at one time along with tube K member, hoping that will get me to 500HP on pump gas.

Video wasn't my best run by any means but 1st one that has been filmed. I boged the launch and spun 2ed bad. Car was run stright off the street with no cool down and 30 psi in the tires (I had pulled into the staging lanes and thought I would have long enough time for cool down and to air down but my lane was called right after I set up the cam)

Right on

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

you still got plenty MPH there nice run for a hot lap though.

 

[stangbanger856]

Ya that was a 116mph run I normally run 118mph but lost 2 mph due to the tire spin in 2ed. Going back to the track in a few weeks with my prostars and some weight reduction. Hoping to hit 11s with that setup.

Also picked up my SLP long tubes this weekend and found a matching SLP off road X pipe I'm gona pick up next weekend. Gona wait and find a tube K member setup along with some Lakewood 90/10s with coil overs with 200-175 lb springs to keep some street manners. After that I'm gona have all of it installed along with the intercooler and new tune. Should get me a good 480 on pump and hopefully 500 on meth. But we shall see.

Well, been bussy this past month. Was gona get the car ready for NMRA true street in MD next month but when I reviewd the rulebook I knew I would be disqualified (no NJ inspection...) so to make lemonade out of lemons I'm just gona enter the car show. So this is what I have been doing...

New Saleen S281 wing
repainted front bumper
Had my anderson powerpipe painted satin black
Ordered Cobra grill emblem
Painted front calipers
UPR rear suspension
Lakewood 90/10 struts
New cobra headlights
New ultra clear fogs
did some wire tucking on passenger side.
painted gas tank and straps
Installed Autometer water temp gauge in dash pod
Installed Innovate wideband gauge in A piller pod
moved boost gauge to A piller pod
installed Autometer Blue LEDs to match custom gauges I had made
Bought new window tint to redue back window and to add windshield strip
Oil change (full synthetic)

I might cut 1 coil from my rear springs to drop it more. Still has 1 1/2-2 inch gap between tire and fender.

I don't have a valid NJ inspection sticker (no cats) and NMRA ruels say it must have one from your state of origin to qualify for True Street.

 

[Knuckles@Empire]

that sucks man, have you thought of running it in modular muscle?
