Project V6 Firebird
Got these off ssclones (just google that). 3" inlet 3.5" dual outlet.
Really like the way it finishes off the catback. The guys at the exhaust shop were pretty impressed with the tips along with the low cost. They tuck up there pretty well. Not a quantifiable difference in sound, so I'm not gonna say if it helps in that area or not.
Nice and easy to clean too

Those tips look hawt. Can't find them with that google search though?
Edit: Thought about stainless letters? Yes I realize we have basically the same car lol.

I haven't really put much thought into putting stuff like that on my car. Needs a serious repaint first. More than likely I won't.
Nope, no LS swap. It'll remain a V6. I plan on a boost build later but not a remote turbo setup. Probably more along the lines of designing one similar to the APS twin turbo setups.
Pulling the axles to install ARP studs and gonna install the ta performance rear end cover while I'm at it.
Also, rear end fluid should not be allowed to stew overnight in the garage in your oil catch pan. It wasn't so bad when I popped it open but once left to the air it got worse. Good thing it didn't look like chocolate milk though. I'm just doing a series of things to the car while also doing the manual trans swap.

On the manual trans swap are the pedals and sensors from a v6 car the same as a v8? I'm having a hard time finding a pedal assembly with sensors and pig tails.
What are you using for a brace on the firewall for the slave?

Sensors should all be the same except for the VSS. I'll figure that out later. The brace, haven't gotten to that point but I'll probably have to fab something up.
Hubs are all off. Gonna take it all to my dad's shop on Saturday morning, get the ARP studs pressed in. Put it all back on and then full steam ahead on the trans swap!

Beautiful man. I have a 2000 v6 car as well and its the same color. I just bought a 2000 formula too. Keep up the good work. To hell with all the naysayers. BTW i got 29-32 highway in my v6, and it has 230,000 mile on it and I have neverr pulled the motor or the tranny. My FORMULA doesnt get good gas milage unless im going on a road trip.
Thanks,
Pulled all of the carpet out of the car...Made $3.15 out of it in loose change. Previous owner had to have left their change in the little cubby hole in the console and not in the change holder where it should be. I guess that solves the odd rattles I had at times. Pulled the brake pedal assembly as well.
Ground on the block a little, but not enough as it was getting late. I have to shorten the driver side dowel on the block to clear the mal-wood adapter. Was about 1mm shy. Gonna go to harbor freight and buy a sawzal and go to town on the trans tunnel Monday night!
Debating on sending my steering rack in to turn one, mine is leaking and helping coat the bottom of my engine block and chassis in a nice, glossy film of CRAP!

Tick clutch master cylinder is installed. Gotta wire up the pedals and all that fun stuff probably on Tuesday. Once I opened up the bolt holes a little more, the cylinder bolted in perfectly! Zip tied the reservoir to the mount for now, and I still need to get under the car and attach the line to the master. I'm gonna need to reroute some wiring after all is said and done. I don't like the spot where I routed my wideband wires, so I'm going to look into running that stuff through another spot instead of the grommet right below the driver's seat. Just looks trashy to me from under the car.
