Anyone familiar with this kit? Trick Performance?
Anyone familiar with this kit? Trick Performance? This is a kit that seems to be designed for trucks. However, I've been staring at it for a day or two and I can't see why it wouldn't fit on my '87 Regal. I already have the Drivers side truck manifold and I think I have the room to even use this down pipe.

I don't like the oxygen sensor placement. Having the passengers side sensor in the downpipe will read blended exhaust from both banks. Seems like that would be a tuning nightmare if trying to run a stock pcm in closed loop.
Downpipe bung is for the wideband. Rick offers a cast stainless manifold now also. Jarrett(stock48)runs a very similar kbracing log on his nova. I built a very similar hotside and I put my pass o2 in the log manifold and I have no issues running stock pcm in closed loop.

The Down pipe, is 3" 1 piece mandrel bent Aluminized steel tubing. Is built to clear all accessories so you don't have to move oem hard parts around. (like others do on the market.) Down pipe is build using a T4 exhaust housing. Passenger side front o2 sensor bung is already weled in place.
Option Wideband bung can be added for a slight increase.
According to that the passenger side O2 is welded in the downpipe and not in the log manifold and an optional wideband can be added to the downpipe as an OPTION.

The O2 placement is the small details.
The fact I talked to KB Racing through email and he mentioned that he already knows what to do for a G-body. This will be huge for me if I can grab a bolt turbo kit. That means I can have my car done a lot sooner because I don't have to haul it in the trailer to a fabricator who is going to stick it up my *** because I have no choice once it's in his shop. The cars been a budget build so far with a few extra $'s spent on grabbing anything that is bolt on parts.

I built my own as I thought the price tag was a little hefty for my budget but I will tell you I had to cut , add a 45, and vband the truck mani on the driver side to clear everything on my 85 cutty. Just some food for thought.
That said I was able to fit a 3.5" DP and 2.5" crossover through the passenger side with no AC or heater.
