C5 Corvette. Only way I could get the alt out of the way of the headers plus I thought it would be kinda cool. Far as downpipes I wont know for sure till' I get this in the chassis. Thats still a ways away. I have to finish this and get started on the intake manifold.

have you put that in the chassis yet? Those headers/collectors/turbines look a lot wider than most kits ive seen for the vette.

I thought that they looked about right it is hard to tell out of the car and without a intake and valve covers to judge by. Looks very good from what I see very good fabrication skills and attention to detail especially since a lot of it might have to be changed onxe in the car etc... The alt would be nice for a lot of guys doing turbo setups.

I trust that it will fit, its just the 2 or 3 different twin kits for vette's ive seen actually angle the headers or collectors inward to leave room for downpipes and what not. I LOVE your headers and collectors, Im anxious to see what it turns out liek complete.

My post's are sparse as far as brand name this and that. No way could I afford to have anyone just make this stuff for me. Im just some guy... and we were poor for a long time but still managed to have some decent hot rods. Every success comes from a thousand failures. If there is anything Im good at it is I can keep trying, no matter what. I run the shop 6-7 days but I find time for the car anywhere I can. This last year the biggest obstacle is Im just too damn tired all the time.
