Which accessory drive are you planning on running? Looks killer....i may have to pick up a pair of those manifolds for my turbo l92 chevelle build! I was going to run the truck accessory drive (alt and P/S). Looks like it would clear the truck drive setup no prob

The car is a 71 Nova, minitubbed, 325/50R15's on the back, 3" drop leaf springs, 4L80E,12 bolts with 3.42's. All stock steel body with a flat hood, bench seat, and rally wheels. Going to be kind of a street sleeper. Looking to make around 600rwhp and runs somewehere in the 10's on drag radials.
Exhaust will be single 3 1/2" hidden tailpipe out the right side behind the wheel.
The hot side pipes are mild steel and formed from various bends from jegs.

How much did it cost you to have all that piping fabbed up if you don't mind me asking?
Due to the location of the turbo it looks like it would fit on a GTO with the battery removed and some slight modification to the piping, currently i think the accessories belts and pulleys would get in the way, but the manifolds look like they could be of use fo sho.

So you just got a bunch of mandrel bends from jegs and had them cut and welded to your specs? Sounds gangsta.
