I was pretty partial to the color myself (my room mate was too)! They look REALLY good with the cases done in the same color.

Enjoy! Another 6LE Creation!

Thanks guys...appreciate the following and compliments. At some point I'll start putting pieces together. The new bullet is critical path....sooooo many more cool pieces to add that can't be appreciated until its all together. Having second thoughts on a couple and will probably miss one or two but that's what the winter is for

Heads fiiiiiiiinally showed up after some tweaking. So now's its wait for intake completion and a little time on the dyno !

Factory....might be cutting them off though. Hung up on what to do about it. Eibach's are a little soft and I'm not thrilled about these wheels getting shaved by them. Still working it out.

Thanks! Still just a baby

Things are going to picking up speed over the next few weeks. Just finalized direction on a few 'cosmetic' upgrades for the intake. Yes, everything has to be improved on somehow Intake should be done mid-July(ish). Definately more pics to come....

Hey have you bolted your kooks true duals up yet? I was thinking about ordering them but I'm worried about clearance issues with the MWC 9". Please let me know, thanks!

Nope, not yet. Last piece of the puzzle. I don't see why they wouldnt, but I'm sure like everything else....there will be issues.

Im worried about the over the axle portion of the true duals, with the rear end housing being so wide. My magnaflow catback wouldn't clear the housing. I'm also worried about the torque arm hanging so low near the transmission
