After almost 20 years. Finally installed Long tubes. Friend and I spent a long Saturday dropping the k member and getting it back together. Put some MM 4 bolt caster/camber plates in as well. Got a tune from VMP. Did this about a month ago. Still need to do a data log, but car is just better. Throttle response, power of course, Drive ability…

Went with BBK due to price mostly. It’s been a long time coming but finally got it done. Well worth the time to do the install.

Congrats, Jb. I know it feels good. I remember doing headers. Went from a catted x to longtubes with o/r x and felt a lot stronger. It revved easier and just got up in rpms with less effort. Sort of felt like I stepped up a gear size or two.

I was happy to do my longtubes with the motor out
