Completed the exhaust, it fits well and does hit anything while performing an earthquake test. It should sound awesome.

Finished redoing my fuel system, should be able to get max effort out of my 2 pumps now. I couldn't fit a Y in the bucket with the old setup so I had to use a T and didn't care for it at all.
Old setup


New setup







Forgot a picture of the regulator.

Also got my injectors back from FIC. They bumped them up to 80lb from 60. Making 2 of them 82lber for the back two cylinder. So I put the intake back together and put it on the car.



Also pulled the hotside off for hopefully the last time to weld the bungs on and the v-band.

After I read this the more I thought about it the more worried I got about them cracking, so I'm going to run another pass over the welds I fused. After that I will probably drop them off to have coated this week.



I found someone on here that is trading me my relocating bracket for a stocker, so I only a few things left to order to finish.

You have to call them, they have 2.5" collectors, that's what I used. I used these to fill the center
