no it will be going out the fenders on both sides. With as low as the car will be with this second round of suspension going in to it, I didn't want to deal with it. Also trying to keep the weight down.

Truth be told, even when I had the full exhaust on it, I never closed the dump, it was never that loud in the car.

Yes I did sell it already to a guy off here. It sold in like 15 min after posting it. He ended up putting it back up for sale just recently don't know if it sold again or not.

I got some stuff I'll put up for sale. That bad *** T6 merge I just bought, T6 heat blanket, both 38mm tial gates as I'm switching over to 44s.... think that's about it.

Clean looking set up you got so far.

Got the call to go pick the car up, so I flew over and picked it up. Guy did an amazing job despite the wait. As soon as I got it off the trailer, I put it on jack stands, pulled the front end off, mounted the turbos, and started fabbing the headers. The car is so damn light in the front now, even after changing over to 175 springs in the front, they don't even compress. So looks like I'll have to put the 150s back in it.

That rear tire tuck tho... got about 3" from the inside of the tire to the wheel well. I'll be looking in to a set of deeper offset wheels here soon so suck the wheels in a bit more so I can stuff a bigger tire back there.

I like how they made the top piece removable on the front end.

Car looks great. Very similar color to one that I was looking at for my car. The front end with the removable top is a killer idea. Headers are turning out awesome as well.

Thanks much appreciated. I'd have the driver side done today but I ran out of straight pipe. But I'll have more in by Friday, and then I can start on the other side. I just brought the ac compressor home so I can start figuring out how to get around it.

Other then that, I got the one almost fully welded out. I don't think it's bad for my first header and only welding maybe 2 months.

Made some more progress. Charge pipes are done, driver side header is about done, just gotta finish welding one runner. Also finished the header to turbo pipe. I need to put the fender on so I can see how much room I got to play with in regards to positioning the wastegate. Passenger side header has one runner complete, but ran out of material. But otherwise coming along very nicely.
