Yep... I don't like them. I do not like the engine bay was designed. The packaging is very inefficient. The best way for me to retain my "clean" look was to go this route. I wasnt interested in a cookie cutter build... Wanted to do something different.

This car will rarely be out at night. Also, I am sure that the hellas will have greater light output than the stock POS headlights.

 

Looks good

 

Ok cool, keep the progress pictures.

 

I love my s475... They are big but i made mine go where i wanted it too... I have stock bottom end ls1 with a big tick cam and it spools 5psi at low 3000rpm range and by 4200 its screaming. But for 650 dollars like the post says you cant beat them.

 

Thanks guys.

Four and a half minutes after I got home from work, the charge pipe is done...

Well, I am waiting on the S400 comp outlet flange/vband, and then the other end will be welded right to the TB.

 

...and the downpipe...

 

I don't think the headlights in the fog holes would be legal but I'm sure considering the rest of the build that may not be much concern. Also with all the room you've created why step the downpipe down to 4"? Looks like 5" right out the fender would be fine.

 

Yea, I really don't care about being legal. As long as I can get a decent light output, without blinding oncoming traffic, Ill be happy. If I get hassled, Ill throw some useless LEDs at a "proper height" to appease the law.

The downpipe...

with the 4" I was able to find a 6" CLR, which in my setup gives me a 16" straight section, I could only find 5" with a 12" CLR, which drops the straight section down to ~8". I wan't to put a muffler in the straight section, big as possible obviously.

I am going to build a secondary 5" aluminum DP, that will exit out the headlight cover, with a big horn... just for fun,

 

That looks awesome. Nice work.

 

please don't lol that would IMO look horrid.

 

Hate to say it, but I think that ship has sailed...

 

Thanks hater

 

What looks bad? I'm actually pretty impressed with what's going on under the hood so far. Not sure how the windshield is going to work out but other than that..... looks good to me.

 

I wish i had that much room to work with.

 

Trevor "daily drives" a CJ jeep, so OBVIOUSLY the requirements for functional daily driver are pretty minimal.

T6 was a good call.. The borg T6's obviously are not anything like the T6's of legend in the Garrett world, they work quite nicely... If it wasnt for my turbo kit being basically nonconvertible I would probably run a T6.

 

O ****, the troll has arrived


but you're right, Im not a pansy, I could drive the 7-series if I wanted to be a baby.

Also, its a TJ...

Also, I took a screen shot of that already, so don't bother editing... It is on record that Scott just agreed with a decision I made.

 

it still has a J in it... GC is about the only jeep letters I would consider a daily driver lol.

 

Not the prettiest welding, but I only have ~5mins of TIG experience so for (tack welds on this build).

 

I'm no welder but they look good to me keep on welding

 

i need the skills you have , wanna share?
