a new ls1 miata So I got tired of my turboed miata and am now in the process of putting in a '02 Camaro LS1/T56 with the ls6 intake.
I am using racingconcepts.net's kit for mounting, a ford 8.8 diff with 3.73 gears. I hope to have it running by end of the year.
I plan on doing a small writeup and have tons of pictures that i will put on my site (that doesn't exist yet). There will be some videos too. I can't wait, its going to be sick.

yep, already been lurking in the shadows. Found some custom exhausts shops... Now I just have to see if I can have full duel's with x-pipe fit without killing my ground clearance. I'm not man enough for straight pipes that dump...haha. Going with flowmaster 40's i think.

I've been to ls1sounds, I don't want anything that drones a lot or that is super loud (i have to do 800+ mile treks a couple or more times a year). The only problem is that exhaust sound is super subjective as is "loud". And its hard to judge a exhaust solely by video. I can handle noise but I don't want anything annoying.
Whats your opinion on exhaust?

So i've read up a little more. Looks like I might be going magnaflow. I was torn between flowmasters and magnaflows before. I am calling buster tomorrow to see what he wants as far as price. I have headers, just need the rest.

It is possible, the LS7 is the same overall size as the LS1. Just cost lots more $$$. It would be hard to find room for the dry-sump tank, might have to switch it to wet-sump or make a custom dry-sump tank.

Not trying to pimp my company. Simply trying to expand my product line and provide a member of your forum an exhaust for his car in a situation that will be beneficial to us both. I didn’t mean to offend. Jason
