That is looking awesome. I was looking into those kits but it seemed that the whole setup is fairly expensive. I may still save up for a kit car project but I'll probaly use this chasis instead http://www.factoryfive.com/table/ffr...TM/GTMkit.html not as radical but still pretty sweet. With a turbo LS6 or LS7 (if available by the time I get the money together) it should take most corvettes and stock vipers for a walk.

Another update. Exhaust is basically done, just need to go over some of the tach welds and send it off to be jet hot coated.

That is just too cool. I love how the center pair of exhaust are dedicated to the BOV. You have got to be loving this buildup Mark.
Thanks for the updates.

Ooops yeah I meant to say Wastegate. I didn't even think of the muffler routing. Very cool idea. You could also route an electric cutout to the same set of center pipes. The possibilities are limitless

Well, the beast has left my garage and is now in mkoch1's garage again. I'm the guy that did the headers and exhaust system on his car. It was cool doing the headers and exhaust system and it should look great when it is all Jet-Hot coated.
His car is just awesome.
