Do you drive on the street with the exhaust setup like that? I'm planning a similar setup, but was going to install a Vortex insert to cut a couple decibels. Sounds badass and looks really good.

yes it is still a street car and I drive it all over... The exhaust isn't nearly as bad as you think it would be... It is quieter than my NA setup was with single chambers on it... Thanks!

I will post some track videos and times up soon! Car runs great... Mostly just making things better now... I was kinda in a rush to get it together so I could slap down a local guy with a turbo LT1 but he punked out so now I am going back through and doing some redoing/changing

Good to hear your doing good. Thought something had happen. I can't wait to see some videos of this car. I pulled the trigger and went 4.8 I thought it was a 5.3 till the heads came off.

Matt car is badass. Can you do me a big favor and tell me what parts you used to make your fuel system. From the tank, pump, lines all the way to the fast 102? I really need to make my kit and dont know whats needed. Mine will be similar to your setup and want to do it right! Just like yours :clap:

Awesome setup.

Question though; what made you decide to to a top-mount TB with a hat Vs an Elbow on the intake?

@Matt.

The junk yard sold it as a 5.3 and sold it to me for 700, honestly I think its my fault for not making sure while I was there it's weird though It came out of a 02 Chevy avalanche, I went online and those came with 5.3s, plus I saw the 862s and said yup that's a 5.3 so I tore the heads off and saw flat top pistons. I was a little upset since my neighbor was selling his 4.8 for 200.

And just today my buddy was selling his 2010 ls3 and 6speed for 1600 with 20k miles he rolled his car over and it was a complete pull out. This Guy beat me to it by 5 min! Story of my life.

Will that U bend pipe from the Turbo to the IC cause any restrictions?
