Added horsepower mods to my tuning laptop:
Got in some slip on turn downs for my headers until I can get the whole exhaust connected since I'm using a system intended for an LSx powered F-body. This is so it doesn't piss off my PCM for reading it being too lean due to reversion at the collector and killing the car in traffic when it starts dumping fuel... I had it happen a few years ago, lesson learned.
Also so that I can direct the sound more diagonally instead of straight down. No more brown note for me!

Forgot I did this awhile back, got to spend some quality time with my daughter in the garage, took a timelapse run of it with the gopro. Hadn't done this before so it was essentially a test run.

Modified the Force Fed Fabs longtube headers to run a different collector design I ordered from Davis Headers. This venturi style collector will help with keeping the exhaust velocity up, something I’m concerned about since this is a higher compression engine. Turn down tips are by Kooks. Needs a few finishing touches like the O2 bungs and retaining springs.
Needless to say, I was a bit concerned about cutting into a very uncommon set of headers, but I went for it anyway.
Test Fit:
Comparison between the two designs:
Turndown tip for driving with the open headers, keeps the O2 sensor a little happier...
