who did the piping on your old car? what about this one?

My friend Collin did the piping on the 2002. He will be doing the work on this one as well. He cant wait to get started on it because he just bought a 5th gen himself.

3400??? I dont see that happening without major hacking.. my car is 3900 ..
add turbo, intercooler, random stuff and you will get it to 4100+ pretty fast.

Hope you can get in done for TX2K13! Would love to see it down there.

Should be a hell of a build and I'm sure it'll come out as clean as the old car.

I dont think anyone is counting his money i think it is more like we are looking for ways (jobs) so that we could afford to do something even nearly as nice.

Add the turbo, Iron block and cage maybe you'll be back to 3700-3800lbs but still not bad with 1200+rwhp TH400.

I can't wait for the update seeing all the SilverStreak's pics I'm sure this one will be Clean & Mean

Cant wait to see this come along and roll out when its finished! Just curious though, why opt for the 6.0 instead of keeping and boosting the 6.2 thats already in the car?
