May wait till your done to see what problems your guy runs into if any. Hopefully not.

Are you going to do a dyno before and after to see how much power increase you get? If not, how much do you think or have been told it will be.

Me personally I just want the car to breathe as best as possible.

I am too tight to spring for a dyno right now . I believe there is a chart about the performance increases on-line Ill see if I can find it.


I don't street race (well maybe not that often) so it was more of an appearance and sound thing for me .... I'll look for that chart and post the link

I called Thorley here is what they said:


For an unmoded Monte (no custom air intake no custom cat back)


25 - 30 HSP gain 40 Torque gain


For a Monte that has a Custom air intake and cat back system


30 - 35 HSP gain 50 torque gain


Drop my name and they will sell to you for my price


Tadd La Duke and my price was $635 free shipping and yes they are in stock

Nice Pics Mel. Thanks they sure look awesome on your Monte. Yep the instructions warn of transmission fluid loss when removing the dipstick tube


- But I don't plan on doing myself as I don't have a hoist and get freaked out getting under a car only on jack stands

I can't remember why but the rear manifold removal was the worst part of the install job. The DTs just dropped into place by comparison once the old stuff was out. Tilt the engine forward with a ratchet strap you'll have plenty of clearance in the rear.

DTs with a 3" cat-back make a very noticeable difference on the LS4, you'll like em.
