Nice turbos. Those turbo manifolds almost look as good as full-race manifolds! Full-race is one of the best turbo companies out there.

Subscribed. On the look out for a regal with plans of a turbo lq9.

Those manifolds are gorgeous.

thanks guys! The headers look really sick in person. Antonio once worked for Full-Race so you can see the resemblance. The piping we used is probably more prevalent in the sport compact arena. It's kinda heavy. But, I think it's just beautiful and won't crack.

So, we used 1.5" schedule 40 piping.

Yeah your headers do look awesome. I wasnt in any way bad talking them, just sharing my praise for the full-tilt products and how insane they are!

no worries buddy. I didn't see anything negative or take it that way. You were all praises. I am good friends with the owner at Full-Race. Makes me proud when people praise his stuff or compare it to the holy grail of exhaust manifolds. Which is Full-Race.

He wouldn't make me a set though lol

Looks good man! Do you want to make another core support and sell it to me? It would work great on my 85 Regal.

couple side views. It's not looking so flattering now, it has wood blocks in between the control arms holding the front end up. Just waiting to have funds for the control arms and coil overs.

It's gonna look sick with the front wheels matching too. Trying to decide on doing the barrels or centers black.




How it sat a few years ago with the v6 in it
