Oh and as far as using the exhaust hangers...I'm obviously not worried about fabbing up new ones. But, when it's done for you and you know it's going to fit perfect the first time, why not? No domestic manufacturer is capable of matching that quality and I want this thing on the road, so any time I can put towards other more important things I am happy to have.
Enjoy that beast!

Well car is ready! need to put in my coolent, power steering fluid, and all im doing is waiting for my computer to get back from pcmamerica.com. i sent it out on 8th he revcieved on the 10th and now its the 14th so i dont know i emailed saying i need it before this weekend because this sat there is a big dyno day i wana dyno the car at here local. Here some more pics but there are also alot more on my photobucker in no specific order obviously. HERE
2 3 inch to single 3 inch to dynomax muffler.
Header Painted with 1200 degree paint! lol well see how long it lasts if it does. I want to redo the headers with thicker wall tubing next time, and make runners closer together basically a all around tight clearence header.

Dang that's nice. I checked out your pix. I couldn't tell, but are you using the r32 mount like ls1neezy is doing? I plan on getting this swap started next week. Maybe I can head over to the dyno party also Btw what ECU issues do I need to resolve to get it to run? I'm guessing the ECU will freak out because the chassis harness is no where to be found? I'm going to have to get my computer reflashed also, I just don't know what I actually need to get my car to run.

I'll have to take a look at the wiring asap so I can do it asap. If you guys have wiring diagrams of how you did it that'd be awesome.

I ran some Magnaflow mufflers on my LS1 setup and it sounded great! Straight thru design 100% s/s as well. Only downside is that they are a bit heavy.
I made 440rwhp thru dual Magnaflow 3" cats, Xpipe, 3" piping to (2) 3" muffs. I wouldn't say there was any restriction.
The 240sx swaps are becoming very popular. Cool to see another one.
You should do some track days with NASAProRacing.com. You can do their TimeTrial group which is a blast and very competitive.
I have (2) 3" Dynomax straight thru aluminized mild steel mufflers if you are interested. They are brand new in the box.

Daft thanks for the information. I appreciate it. I'll be analyzing my harness over the weekend. As for mufflers I went with a dynomax 2 to 1 muffler exiting out of a magnaflow 3" inlet and 4" outlet. I'm trying to kill the sound as much as I can. I'd hate to draw attention from the wrong types of people. I'll post up pix in my thread during the weekend.
