Bought a header & new Cat Converter from LCE a few weeks ago and got it installed today. Removed all of the old exhaust system, installed new manifold studs in the head, added smog pump block-off plates, and finally bolted on the new cat behind LCE's connector pipe. Sounds like an open header, even with the cat installed--VERY loud. The cat is a low-restriction model made by Magnaflow. Pretty much an easy change, and LCE included some good instructions.

New cat-back exhaust added yesterday. SEE POST & PHOTOS BELOW!

Can't wait to see some pics. You should definitely notice a difference all the way around.

Now I need a cat-back exhaust to quiet the beast down. Next week.....

No photos yet.
Good project. How long did it take?

It took about 4 hours to complete. Two parts added the most time: 1) removing the old exhaust system. Bolts were rusty and a couple snapped off. 2) changing the manifold studs in the head using the 2 nut system. The old ones were in bad shape, so I'm glad I bought new ones from LCE. I think a couple of them are stripped (wouldn't torque to 33 lbs.), so I may be pulling those and essentially "gluing" them in place.

Like this (photo from LCE online catalog):
LCE header photo.jpg

Everything in that photo comes with the header. Perfect fit, which was amazing. Very pleased with every LCE product I have bought so far. Great company to work with too. All questions answered. Manifold studs and block-off plates are extra.

New cat-back exhaust system tomorrow--then pics--maybe.

HEY! PHOTOS! of the header AND the 2 1/4" cat-back exhaust. Had the exhaust installed yesterday. Took 2+ hours, but looks beautiful, if I must say so. Cost was real high, but that's what happens when there's only ONE shop in town that will build custom exhaust systems. Some of the LCE tubing had to be shortened to fit properly. Likely paint the exhaust with black high-heat paint before the rust starts.

Now the radiator has a leak. Never ends.....

Very nice system. Be nice if they would come stock with header pipes. How does it sound?

I told the shop that I didn't want a "drone" on the highway, so we agreed that a Turbo muffler would NOT be as loud as a Magnaflow at 1/2 the price. It's slightly louder coming off idle and accelerating--actually sounds good--but once at a steady speed, it's only a skosh louder than stock. NO drone. I expect it may get slightly louder as the muffler ages.

I recently did a full exhaust on my 84 Toyota coachman... i went inexpensive .. and tapped all the bolt holes on the head and used helicoils .. ( it was leaking bad due to stripped bolts ) and purchased a SSlong header for a Four-runner and a SS cat back for a Acura RSX all for under 200.00 on fleebay.. then used my welding tools to adjust it to fit proper .. . mine is not as pretty but sounds mean .. i defiantly have a drone .. it came with the gigantic generic silencer ( AKA fartcan) . it does sound way better .. my old Cat was Church ready and so Holy the platinum pellets were falling out of it.. I also deleted the smog stuff .. as its not required where i live

По мере совершенствования программного обеспечения, я думаю, программисты РЖД найдут способ, как избежать такого рода инцидентов при продаже билетов онлайн на сайте РЖД.
