Default Someone double check my list/order for my exhaust!

-Edelbrock Headers
-Magnaflow Catback
-Flow Master 3.5 - 4.0" Y merge
-GM Multi layer steel gaskets
-Prothane Motor Mounts
-Prothane Tranny Mount
-Race Rdy 4" Cutout
-1 3" Band Clamp
-2 3 1/2" Band Clamp
-1 4" - 3" Reducer
-1 DMH 4" Electric Cutout


Basically, Edelbrock 1 5/8 stepped Headers, Band Clamped onto Shop Fabbed 3 1/2 Y pipe, welded to Flowmaster Merge, Merge welded to 4" Cutout (DMH Electric), Welded to 4" -> 3" Reducer, Band clamped to Magnaflow catback.

Do I have everything?

Plan on picking up new longer o2's from local autozone. New plugs/wires on it (Less than 2k miles ago) Already.

What am I missing?

Sucks that I have to order from like 5 different places to get the best deals on either prices or shipping. (Headers/Catback alrdy ordered, waiting to submit the misc orders until I figure out if I have everything.)

Thank you!

Edit:

-Picked up 6qt of Mobile 1 Synthetic 10w30 for $35.
-Added Torque Arm Mount
- Will grab filter from local autozone


Looking for a switch plate for either my ash tray or the little cubby hole area.

Plugs, wires, anti-seize.

A way to grind down the flange on the oil dipstick tube bolt
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the K member lip for #7 primary. (Maybe, it's hit and miss)
Oil
Oil Filter

I take it you're reusing your bolts? (I did, no issues)

18mm deep socket for tranny mount and engine mount bolts (Only socket I DIDN'T have)

Good list. Let us know how it goes

What's wrong with a poly trans mount?

Edelbrock's are 200 bucks right now.... I asked the same thing to myself, LOL, then remembered.

Yea, plugs are cheap enough that I might as well. Car will be modded until it runs low 10's. Slowly though, been talking with MWC, next mod will be 9" sometime after the wife and I get our tax returns. Bolt on's will be finishing up here and there.

I'm still deciding on what I want to do about the motor. I've originally wanted to run a D1SC, but I am mildly interested in turbo now, even though I know basically 0%, at the same time I've been eyeing the ERL 500ci block. I had the ZZ502 crate motor in my 87 trans am and have been wanting some big displacement again.

TBH, I am a very indecisive person, and I have been out of the scene for ~4 years and have lost/forgot a lot of knowledge that I'm trying to regain.

Yea, I was going to reuse the old bolts. Money is a little tight around Christmas ATM. Plus, our Anniversary is Jan 14th so we're going to be spending a bit of money here soon, on top of this, and we just paid her car off... So, if I didn't "need" it, I kinda skimped for now.

The Edelbrock's were dirt cheap and I wanted 1 5/8 to 1 7/8 stepped. I didn't want to drop 1k on headers if I was even entertaining the thought of a turbo down the road, these will last just fine until that day comes, if I go any other route, I may pick up a set of ARH down the road.

Also, this allowed for me to budget in a few other things I've been wanting to get, but had planned on waiting. Shifter, Tint, Lid, etc.

poly trans mount has a reputation for horrible street manners, but it seems like this is going to be a strip car so have at it.

I think it's the Energy Suspension one that more people seem to have issues with. I put a Prothane in mine and love the fact that my shifter doesn't seem like it's auditioning for an Extenze commercial anymore....

The ES mount is perfectly fine if you leave the pre-load plate off, even for a fairly quiet DD.

Can someone help me with the torque arm mount? There are two types I guess. One with "lips facing out" and the other is normal.

I can't get under my car (Live in apartment, tools are in storage).

Car is a 2002 Z28 M6 - Factory rear/torque arm.
