Default Collectors are finished

Showed up today.








Could not have come out any better. I would have to say it will be the best flowing turbo collector I have ever seen. All 321 SS. Pics dont do justice at all to show all the hand finishing inside and out.

Ill get then mounted after Christmas.

is it me, or did you put the WG tubing on the opposite side as where the DP would go? Won't that make plumbing a little harder?

I assume you are polishing them and adding the other half of the 'double-slip-fit' to the primaries? Gotta post pics of that.

Hell, I still want to know how you did that whole alternator thing

Anyway, the reason I ask is because on the vette twin kits I've see they put the WG on the outside of the collectors towards the fenders. its not that you can't do it either way...I think inside will be cleaner in the long run.
