Here's a few shots of the work in progress -

The new exhaust consist of Kook's 1 7/8 - 2" stepped headers and 3.5" Kook's ultra light stainless mufflers.





The new intake and nitrous setup is progressing along as well.

This is just a progress shot so things are still in a bit of disarray.







The cowl could be notched for clearance or just painted that "go away" color


The new VFN hood that will extend all the way to windsheild

Man I can't wait to see that hood when it goes on. BTW I am still enjoying your old cam. I am about to put some Dart heads on with it and shoot for lower 11's.

I changed the exhaust pic size as it is a nice piece and didn't show as well in the smaller pic.

Here's a couple to give you a perspective on the mufflers -

Sweet looking setup.. I'm hoping to do something similar with my exhaust but I think I'm gonna extend mine a little further towards the back of the car.

This is going to sound very dumb, but is it your flowing so much exhaust at this point you dontneed a X pipe anymore?

Looking good Eric!

I see those mufflers are "restrictive"

Looking to go faster in '06 seems to be a forgone conclusion.....

The bars on the k-member are a set of Madman's SYA bars. AKA - Save your *** bars. If you spend time on the bumper they are a great item to save your oil pan, headers, etc.

The drivers side floor pan was clearanced previously by gently massaging it I had a similar setup before, just was running different size headers and bullets.

No reason to add a bunch more exhaust tubing just to have an x pipe. Racing, less is more.

Clearance - not much different than my old setup

The fun part with the exhaust side exiting is cranking the car with someone standing next to it.

Thanks Derek. Trying my best.
