New LTH Exhaust/Prep for Ponies in the Smokies

[Turbo98GT]

Ditched the old 1 7/8 headers for some 2" headers, mid pipe and axle back from LTH. Threw on some additional Carbon Fiber pieces (wing and heat extractor) from Anderson Composites

Looks killer man! Love the bracing done to it. Car should be pretty tight after doing that I'd imagine.

Yea the Stifflers stuff is badass. Gives you additional jacking points and side impact protection too!

Is the car noticeably tighter with the Stiffler support bracket installed?

How much did it gain with the 2” headers?

I added it the first month I owned the car so I'm not sure. It is one of my favorite mods though.

Unfortunately the LTH dyno was a bust. We had false knock that pulled upwards of 3 degrees and 1.5 degrees at the top of the power band. We need to turn down the knock sensors to get some apples to apples data. Fuel was Ignite 114 E90. We've had false knock issues in the past. On a positive note. You can see the new exhaust is making the engine less restrictive by lowering boost (LTH in green). We are redoing the dyno next week and disabling knock sensors.

Damn 24# I love it!
What pulley combo?
I’m starting with 15% lower 2.5 upper.

What kind of times has this thing turned with the Gen3?

 

[biminiLX]

He mainly does top speed events and it should post some killer times with the Gen3 swap.
Justin what events do you plan to run this year?

I came to the realization I need a 4/6pt cage. Theoretically, this car should go past 185mph in the 1/2 mile. So until I get that installed, I'll be hitting street car events. I have 2.4 & 10%, doing 20% eventually.

Remember my heads and valves are stock. I could get that down to 22psi with some work.

Is it show car season in the Smokies already?

March 20th-23rd, 2019. Summer is right around the corner.

 

[Turbo98GT]

Never been. Looking forward to it

How hard was the installation? People complain about 1 7/8 Headers. Nice car by the way.

Remind us what it made when you first swapped blowers. It broke a thousand if I remember right?

The LTH 2" actually installed easier than the ARH 1 7/8 headers believe it or not

I just saw that brand on Lethal the other day. Are they new?
