all finished up under the car

Personally i would have route the dumps back into the downpipe.

Stainless is strong but will quickly stress crack from vibrations. And with a 2 foot pipe and extra weight you are deff gonna get some vibration there

Time will tell. I was planing on making a hanger from the main exhaust pipe to the wg muffler but it was rock solid without it. I guess a hanger might help dampen vibrations.

Unfortunately the car still gets kinda loud at wot and higher rpms even in stealth mode. I think the cut outs are opening. I am not sure if that is how they are designed or if they are just pushing open.

I like the way they fit down there. Is there room to route an intake tube to higher ground?

I do not see how but somehow agp gets a pair of 3" pipes up into the engine bay so there must be room. I am told agp modifies one of the engine mounts to make it work and welds elbows onto the turbo.

The car is starting to feel fast and I am only at 4psi. My iats went from 150deg over ambient to just 20deg over.

That fawker is huge

parish8 · 03-01-2017, 06:59 AM

Let's see how these fit.

Looking damn good.. can't wait to run in to you this summer. Maybe the Ice Cruise

parish8 · 03-07-2017, 06:36 PM

I took off a couple of charge pipes to have them coated but the coaters are all telling me 2 weeks. That's not going to work. I am going to just paint them for now. I should have a finished I under hood shot in a few days.

The car is running pretty good but needs dialed in a little better and a few runs on the dyno to see the results. I have been kinda busy with a couple of other projects.

Well hurry it up Jim, I want to see slips

Our local 1/8 mile opens April 7th. I all ready have a sitter lined up.

I am ready to go right now.

I am getting a little smoke after beating on it and for now just vented the valley but I am going to order a catch can of some kind and a quality check valve and hook it back up. the tube from the valley to the intake is dripping with oil so I am pretty sure that is where it is coming from.

here are the all finished up shots of under the hood. I think port injection is next but that is a lot of money so who knows. I am going to try and just enjoy the car with however much power I can get with the current fuel system. hit the dyno, hit the track a few times.

Run that pcv valve to a vent to atmosphere catch can ( or lazy like me and put a breather filter on ). Then cap the pcv tube on the intake and problem solved. The boost will damage a pcv valve after a while then it will leak all the time.
