Here's my cold start.

That sounds good but it sounds LOUD in the video so I could imagine how much louder it probably is in person.

May need keep that in mind when I get headers cause I bet mine will get louder

Absolutely will, especially long tubes. Cats will def quiet the exhaust up-- alot.

Guess its gonna get loud cause I'm not doing headers unless long tube and cats are out of the question lol

Do you have a lot more heat under the hood from the headers? I ask because ive never put headers on a LS but with old small blocks it's a big difference with undder hood temps

Swapped out the starter earlier. She's up and running--again.View attachment 263571
Bought a new Advance Auto Carquest unit, it was just a hair bigger then what came out. Was a ***** to get it in. I also had to pry the trans lines away from the header. The one line was laying right against a tube.

Runs much better, but I'm still hearing something from the exhaust--kind of like popping--maybe? And I thought I heard a very small backfire.

Can't hear it on video, I thought I heard it while I was recording.

All I hear is a hot rod. Sounds damn good to me Tony!

It'll get annoying long after I can enjoy driving it again.

FYP

It does sound badass. I was actually burning rubber today, but I couldn't get it on video

Honestly I never noticed it getting any hotter then when it was stock.
