Default 2000 Firebird LS1 turbo

Hey,Turbo Firebird in the process.Hotside is almost finished,just need to work on the downpipe.Good thing Is I get to keep the alternator in the stock location and not have to stand up the radiator.I'll be sure to add pictures along the way.

You could do a ls3 vette mani on there to clear the ac. Works on gtos too ane in pretty sure that's how its done on the fbody also.

Put the driver side on there backwards....then the pipe just snakes around the ac on whatever side works. The gto we can go under and behind or between the frame and ac compressor.

looks really good man! Why didnt you use stainless? so far the quality is there, with stainless you would have saved headachs with dealing with rust! none the less looks really good! almost the same as my manifold kit too!

Thanks,I appreciate it.I agree stainless is the better choice,However this designed was changed a few times and stainless would of been more expensive between trial and error.
