I will be redoing all the calipers on this car with a CERAKOTE finish. Earlier in this thread I had the front calipers powdercoated but with track temperatures exceeding 400 degrees at the front calipers, the powdercoating did not really hold up that well. Cerakote is temperature resistant all the way up to 500-550 degrees which I should NEVER see.

Have not decided yet on whether to get a PLATINUM finish or a bright red finish. A metallic bronze finish wouldnt be bad either.

I will be redoing the back half portion of the exhaust which currently has MAGNAFLOW mufflers and exits with SINGLE tip exhaust out the back of the car. I will be going with KOOKS bullet style 3 inch round mufflers located BEFORE the rear end assembly. The MAIN reason for this is I need to move the magnaflow mufflers out of the way so that an AERO piece can be put in place to smooth out the air exiting out the rear of the car. This will result in more downforce.

The SIMPLIEST way to do this is to have exhaust turn down tips immediately AFTER the bullet mufflers but I DO NOT like the look of NO EXHAUST tips exiting out the rear of the bumper. SO, AFTER the bullet mufflers we will reroute the exhaust pipes higher up closer to the bottom of the car so that the area directly behind the bumper can be enclosed with a flat AERO piece.

In an effort to MORE downforce on the FRONT of the car, I will probably install an APR front LOWER splitter. This NO DOUBT will result in more downforce BUT I have my doubts as to whether or not I can realistically use this on a daily driver car basis as it looks to me that there is MAYBE only 2-3 inches of ground clearance on the front once the APR spoiler is installed so WILL SEE>

I will post pics of this once all is installed.

Curious to see what you come up with for the exhaust. I am in the process of doing the same and I was thinking that i was just going to put the turndowns right before the rear diff.

I've seen an exhaust that moves the tips on to the license plate area. But unfortunately still no room for a diffuser.

Here’s what MFR Engineering did with my setup.

Haha… ok…. True… and to tell you the truth, I’ve scraped it backing onto 4 post lift. They have another unit, that is similar, and retains full exhaust. You can find on their website.

This is the exhaust system I mentioned. I LOVE this! do you have any photos of underneath the car with the diffuser on. Curious to see how they routed the exhaust over.

Lewis racing stated he couldn't use there exhaust anymore when he moved to a bigger diffuser. So curious how yours is setup.

Absolutely… here’s a few pics, not the best angles, but hope this helps.

The MFR system originally didn’t include the mufflers. After the install, we added 4” diameter (3” in/out) Magnaflow mufflers.

Found the pic I think you’re looking for!

Thanks for the reply. That looks pretty good. The mufflers were a good choice.

Dave,

It looks like you got those NASCAR boys working on your car in their spare time. Looks like a very well engineered setup.

Ok Bronze CERAKOTE coated calipers going back on car this coming week. Upon inspection, we also found the front struts were damaged so they will be replaced along with the rear shock absorbers.

Some thought was given to going with BILSTEIN B14 package that has the bilstein B6 struts and matched springs but the SG3 package has performed VERY well so I didnt see the need to change something that already works.

Since I have the SG3 suspension package we did a little research on the individual part numbers in this package and I posted this up in the suspension section.

Will have pics later in week.
