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

just out of curiosity, what color was it and what did polydyn say about it burning off?

somebody else has a chrome ceramic coating, ive seen it but cant find it now. I gotta go to work though, ill see if i can find it later. I really wanna say I found it through the PTP website but a quick search drew a blank
