I advise the 9" over the 6" ic. The 9" was surprisingly small in there imo. I could only imagine what the 6" would look like once she's all buttoned up.

Theres a couple areas where it gets close to some things, so i wanna make sure the heat stays in and doesnt melt a bunch of ****. I need to figure out how people are wiring up a Magnafuel 4303 pump off the factory harness.

trust me when i say you must get rid of that intake. it flows horrible, cracks easily, and soaks in heat like a mug.

Ive already got it mounted and the bottom plate welded up for it. its been on the car for about 2 years now, cam only, then a procharger and never had n e trouble. I dont believe in the whole heat soak deal, especially using methanol, the air is moving so fast that, imo, has enough time to gain that much heat to affect performance. Besides, most guys are running vic jr's/aarons elbow, edelborck pro flow, holley hi rams, etc, all made of aluminum. Thanks for the heads up though. If i dont hit my HP goals of 900rwhp+ ill start looking into replacing things, if i do then it can stay.

Well, we only managed to get one wastegate in place tonight... The damn saw blade broke while we were making our cut for the dump pipe and it just happen to be at the same time all the stores close.. so we will ahve to finish them up next weekend. i did decide to just dump to the atmosphere. Theyll be slash cut right under the sway bar.

yes the dumped gates were not that bad. For the short time i had it running. With duals, I heard the exhaust as much as the gates so I don't see why people complain so much about it
