i will get pics soon i just got my CTI headers installed along with my 3" flowmaster exhaust that is catted. i will get videos too the **** is loud i couldn't bare to think what not being catted would sound like. I know 3" is too big right now but i'm doing my TVS soon!

 

tbh even with the TVS a 3" exhaust is still probably to big. IIRC you won't see any real gain until you get around 400 hp. But good luck with the build.

 

well im taking it to the track tmw so we shall see if i can break 16 with exhaust and headers. and according to the boys at OTTP its just right

 

Is that 3" mandrel or press bent?

 

break 16s? dont they run 15 something stock ... I ran 15.00 flat with intake and exhaust..

 

I think he's an auto

 

o gotcha..

 

wheres the second set of headers go?

 

^ he put a lsX in it; cant remember which one though. I think its the forged ls9 from the zr1 (the ls9 in the cts-v is not forged so its limits arent as high which is why he went with the zr1 ls9 i believe)

 

ahhh i got ya now. is the non forged one the one with the flux capacitor?

 

^yesh!
u got it! :B

 

damn and hes gonna put a tvs on that?! hes going to need to install a 2nd axle in the rear and two more tires to get traction.

 

U got a header installed, header, I hate when ppl call them headers

 

Good luck with the tvs build

 

track times?

 

The "non-forged LS9" in the CTS-V isnt an LS9.....its the LSA.

 

went to the track friday and it got called off because of rain but i was running 16.2 my first time there and thats with t/c on

 

I havent been to the track but from who ive ran on the streeet I seem to be in the 15.3-15.4 area and im an auto 2.4 08.
Then again several people have now called my car a freak so who knows.

 

i was bone stock when i was running 16.2 and once again it was my first time. You have intake and a tune. I really can't wait to see my numbers i was talking to a buddy of mine at the dealership, i gave him my old cobalt rims so i wont void my **** for getting headers. It seems when im in park and i push down on the window button and its already down that the engine revs a lil bit you can hear it alot better now that i have work done. He was telling me i might need a better alternator and i should come in so he can put a gauge on it. I want to get all of this taken care of before im supercharge and also my trunk button does not work!

 

Lmao break 16's.... That's just funny you all gotta admit

 

**** its something to do in the mean time while my parts are in the mail soon i'll be breaking 13's

 

please explain how a header will void your warranty? you basically gave away your rims for nothing

 

ok few points on the above post.

1# you can barely call a jet module a tune.
2# its header.
3# you dont need a new alternator thats your window motor pulling a lot of current due to it not being able to move it draws more current for the higher load being placed upon the motor. Though typically the engine will actually dip 100rpms or so at idle due to the current draw.

4# Also your header would not void your warranty unless it was directly related to the failure example: Causing your car to lean out and causing detonation. Which is unlikely considering the rich nature in which most factory vehicles are tuned. So as was said you gave him your wheels for no real reason.

 

Bahaha! Idiot.

When you try to roll the window down when it is already down it strains the motor causing it to pull a lot of power.

And even if your alternator was going, you could have just gone to an autozone and they would test your alternator for free...
