Got the exhaust done and it looks awesome. I have a rattle on the passenger side manifold where it is hittinf the k-member when I shut the car off. I'm running the original motor mounts right now and will be changing them to polys. Hope that will fix it. Now it's time to tune

That exhaust does look real pimp! Did you do it yourself? Might do something just like it also, post more pics of exhaust from turbo all the way to the back

HAHA! Thanks Andy. You should feel it now. Did more tuning last night and it's feeling strong as hell! It is running out of fuel at 4000 rpm. Pump is not keeping up which I expected. Time to get one ordered and get this beast driving.

Took it to a local shop to get the exhaust done. I'll get some more pics of the car and get them posted soon.

Thanks again for the compliments. Jon is right, the right kit makes it a lot easier. Combine that with some patience and good friends to help out and it's just a good time.

You can do front mounts and keep a/c. Usually uses 1 5.3 manifold and 1 vette manifold or they do have some available out there that have tubular headers.

No problem. I understand wanting to keep the car in its factory comfortable setup. I have a couple buddies wanting the same thing, I chose the other haha!
