That's what i learned the hard way too...and why i made my second kit over the K-member and ran nothing under the tranny either. I got tired of bottoming out and crushing my piping on ever little bump, high spot in the road or bridge overpass.

Oh...is the turbo high enough to allow for proper draining? The pic might be a little misleading.

EDIT... i realllllly like the hood! Where did you get it?

Thanks

yeah, it looks like the tubing goes up from the turbo to the pan. Nice setup though. Did you just redo a pham header-type kit and put the dp/tubing above the k?

Hood is VFN it looks like (search for "Sunoco" in the appearance or Texas sections for pics).

Shinerbock...what are you talking about? Maybe I'm missing it.

Told you guys that the pham kit sucks for ground clearance. I tried like a **** to watch every bump and slow down for them, but no matter what..I'd still smack the tubing

Reason why I ditched the whole set up(besides not being able to change the plugs) and built my own truck manifold kit.

Tond, it looks great, you have a nice looking camaro. Hope you get some decent results tomorrow. Rick will take good care of you
