I've had my jba lts and or h pipe on for about 7 months now and I'm really not very happy with the performance of my car. It feels sluggish at low rpms, it sounds tinny in high rpms, there has been a constant leak coming from the h pipe since day one no matter how much I try to tighten the clamp. To add insult to injury, if I don't start my car and let it warm up for 10 minutes my check engine light will come on if my rpms stay below 2500 for more than about 15 seconds, meaning, if I'm on the highway cruising at 70 mph, if I go to 5th gear and the car isn't "warmed up" yet it throws the cel. Also the car goes into limp mode if I turn it on and drive it within the first 2 minutes. I still have my stock headers and mid pipe and am seriously considering putting it back on to see what it will sound/perform. I guess my question is, has anyone else been slightly disappointed in gains (or lack thereof) gotten from lts? I think I am going to just order myself a pair of Ford Racing shorties and call it a day. The beast is too loud for my liking anyway, and it pisses the neighbors off if I leave the house after 9pm. Not to mention the horrible drone on the highway. Everyone that hears my car says it sounds mean as hell, but I'm more concerned with how it's performing, and know that it will still sound good AND be drivable if I go back with my stock set up and shorties.
Thanks in advance for any advice
