No C6 manifold? I guess your car already doesn't have a/c? What kind of suspension set up do you have now?

APS kit is sold time to make a large order of pipe. Any suggestion on that for the best price?

Looking to do .125 wall on the hot side in SS. 2.5in cross over.

3.5 Alum on the cold side. Going to get a bell intercooler.

Should I stand the rad up first or build the hot side first

Im going to weld v bands on the manifolds because it looks like I can keep the ALT in the stock location
