Axleback: everything from the rear axle back. AKA the muffler, and exhaust tips. Catback: the axleback + the midpipe. Called the catback because it "starts" at the second cat. Midpipe: The pipe that comes between the muffler and the front pipe. It is the longest piece of exhaust piping. Front pipe: The stock contains a Cat, and a resonator. Connects the Midpipe and the overpipe. Some people falsely consider the front pipe + the catback the "headerback" Overpipe: connects the header and midpipe. Called this because it crosses over part of the subframe. Everything from here back is the headerback. Header: the last (and arguably most important) part of the exhaust. It directs and combines all escaping gas from your engine. The shape of this has a major effect on how your car will sound, and it's power curve.

Is the midpipe also known as a "straight pipe"? Sorry for all the noobish questions. |

2) not entirely. The midpipe is the straightest of the pipes, but Straight pipes are a term given to exhausts that come generally straight back from the header with no obstructions, bends, mufflers, cats. They tend to be EXTREMELY loud, and often raspy. Also, to correct myself, I was at the gym typing that last bit up on my phone. Replace midpipe in my last description with "front pipe" The catback is the midpipe + axleback. Fixing my previous post. Diagram here.

Guys who have this can you please take some video's? specifically from outside the car reving and under load if possible.
How is it working with the visconti tune? still smooth? Is there any risk of things not running "right" on a standard stage 1 tune? Im running his 93 tune right now and want to buy this or nameless but they are taking a long time. Thanks,! |

Thanks @Hawaiian for your responses in the other thread. Figured I'd move here so as not to jack the Vortech fitment thread.
This question for anyone and @P&L Motorsports. I'm complete stock exhaust with a Visconti tune and I'm fairly happy. It really looks to me like the header is the worst part of the stock system and the largest contributer to the infamous torque dip area. Would you say that just this header (catted) would fill that area in the power band out like I think it would with no other exhaust system changes? |

We should have more video within the next few weeks. I want the header, and a slightly modified exhaust back on my car by may 5th (a meet up here), and I will be out of town the last week of April, so that puts the timeframe close. Quote:
If you do go that route, I bet there would be a lot of people interested in sound clips, and a dyno if you run one.

Hawaiian speaks the truth.
Header should fill if not be very close to exactly what you need. Adding the Overpipe is also recommended. Plus we are currently running a sale till the end of May - so be sure to keep that in consideration. -Dylan@P&L |

The TQ dip 'feels' like its completely gone, the motor just begs to rev more. Its still smooth, no evidence of things not running right. |

Mine seems to run just fine on a stage1 VTune. It seems to adapt well to the header. Based on what Hawaiian said previously, I'm confident in saying you should be just fine until you can run logs and submit for review.
I've put at least 100 miles on it since. As for videos, I won't even bother with my exhaust in its current state. @Hawaiian can attest to that, lol... |
