You can get SS bends for less if you know where to look....but price wasn't the reason I went with the HTS 90 deg elbow. I bought it for the outlet of the turbo but you can see I dug up an aluminum elbow out of my bin O' metal bends and used that. I was going to do a SS 90 where the HTS 90 resides, but it would have to make a funny angle to get to the 45 that coming from the turbo....which would require more cutting and grinding and welding. The HTS piece went in with none of that, is just as good and it would've been a shame not to use it somewhere in this project since it was already purchased
8kickass...nope maybe next week
Abeast, definately post pics of the LS1 PTK set up. I want to see that set up if this one doesn't work out for me.

Hey Abeast! Dude, what do you think of the PTK kit thus far? I know you haven't installed it yet, but I would love any details about your experience. I'm trying to get one, and I'm a little bit nervous... Thanks!
It hasnt arrived yet so I cant really put any input in at the time. But from all the research I've done it was the one I decided to go with since I didnt want the tubes under the k-member. I am going with a T76GTS too.

ABeasst--You'll love the T-76GTS. That thing spools quick and is good for a crap load of power on that kit (950RWHP ++)
Shoot me a PM if you have any other questions, so we don't highjack any more of this thread.
Later,
Dave
