I now relize my phone cover is very dirty. I have a diamond S mesh hood and a t cat lexan, I have to combine the two in order to get the pipe to fit. Or just run topless. Still fighting my drives, they dont want to roll correctly (in the track). Post seems a little weak too. Coolant hoses are done and wiring is almost done. Trying to figure out what the last owner was thinking about when wiring the kill switch and EGT's, or what drugs he was on at the time...

Some pics. Sawsall and a welder, the pipes fit a little better now. Going to fire it up in the morning. Figured I would practice the "custom pipes" with the stockers and wait for the D&D's.

I would do something to seal those outlets to the belly pan, at least somewhat. Just poking through a big hole like that exhaust will come back up into the underhood area and choke off the engine with those pod filters.

Didnt have a chance to get any decent vids. Got my clutching figured out the last ride. And I picked up a 156/2.5 ce for it. Spanked some local guys on pros even after having to let out of it a few times because I was going to drag the tunnel wheelying. Picked up some D&D trail pipes for it too, just need to cut them apart and fit them.
