Good stuff!
How's the gas mileage? I've heard that the RX is worse than the Z... I'm getting around 16-18 city and 22-24 highway (with a lead foot). How does your modded 8 compare?

damn...13.6 with just intake, exhaust and cats is pretty good. My best time is 13.8 with intake and exhaust. I just put the helix test pipes on yesterday....going back out to HRP in Baytown Thursday to see if they helped out any...if not they still sound bad ***. You guys should come. There was a Z meet last Thursday, about 15 or so Z"s were there. It was pretty fun.

Which headers did you order?

...I couldn't get under 14 that night. I couldn't get my launch right...spun too much. Best time that night was a 14 flat. The week before I ran a 13.8. How much of my time do you think my test pipes will knock off?
BTW-what was the best price you found on the headers?

Well that doesn't may me feel that bad then, I only ran a 14.1 that night, same thing, couldn't get a launch. Can't say about the test pipes. I know that the chokepoint of our exhausts is the cats. The thing is the engines do require a little backpressure. Test pipes normally give high end HP, and in some cases they lose low end torque. I've heard good things about high flow cats, but I can't tell you about Helix, or any test pipes for that matter. Post your times on thurs, I am very interested. Thinking of Helix myself.
