Yeah, I'm not sure about the silver ring, even if it is painted black...its like it needs some angle, or beveling to finish it maybe?

I hate to say it, but maybe look at some ricer tips to get some idears.

I realized those were the mufflers in that pic, which is what made me think, replace the metal outer shell with the carbon piece...

The fuel system is a custom setup I made, all parts from racepart solutions, its a magnafuel protuner fuel pump/xl750 ....-10 feed line, -8 return, acceleronic's versa fueler, and hollley 120pound injectors or Bosch 160's... I have both, will run either of them, depending on a/f that day. All depends.

That all has worked.fine but I gotta see if my jet syphon setup is working....something is weird with that.
Thanks though mang

A bit of an off-topic question for you, but what size rear wheels and tires are you running?

Okay cool. I've been starting some research on the widest size I can jam within the fenders without rubbing and being flush. I just bought a set of HRE wheels and I'm going to re-hoop them to achieve the right fitment. I'm just trying to find the widest I can go. Maybe 335 is pushing it a bit.

315's no problem...maybe 325's. Do it. Nothin like steam rollers.



Yeah buddy. Little rich here...running 93 octane on a E85 tune. The exhaust to me, sounds and looks badass. Totally stoked....big thanks to Mike Delacruz for welding it up for me. Rock solid.
