Will be running Kooks 2" to 3-1/2" headers with X-pipe to dumped borla XR-1 mufflers before the axle, but how far back it goes depends if it will scrape going in and out of my trailer.

Okay, I thought this was a turbo build... I dunno why? So you are running a true dual setup?

That's ok, lol. My last car I built was a turbo car so this one is going to be supercharger and yes a true dual set-up. My set-up on my turbo car was 3.5" DP to single bullet muffler dumped next to transmission

I decided since I will be losing my fog lights for the intercooler to fit that I still wanted lights down there, I got some small lights to fit in the open space under the parking lights then wired them into the factory fog light harness so I still use the factory switches. I tried to push them back as far as I could so they wouldn't be an eye sore, I think they turned out really good

Today I cut the bumper for better flow for the intercooler but left enough so I can still use my filler plate when on the street plus got some top-end parts

Thanks, I used my 4 1/2" angle grinder with cut-off wheel to make the long cuts, for the corners I used a smaller dremel cut-off then 60grit sandpaper to smooth the corners

Think it was around $580, it is an LS2/LS3 conversion harness but still retains brive-by-cable and I got this one for a T-56 since I am not going to run an electronic controlled trans. Look up Psiconversions.com

Put a few more things on the car today, Fuel filter, boost referenced regulator, and Mighty Mouse race catch can. Feed is -8an, return is -6an and catch can is -10an. Feed I ran down the drivers side and return is down the pass. side. I realized the FPR is a bit crooked but I can live with it.
