PSJ have you thought about running 4 inch into 3.5 all the way back and out?

Or keep it four inch all the way back and out with with no muffler?

With the turbo I dont think you'll need a muffler and the car will be quite drivable with it exiting out the back. (no drone or stink)

My old 4 inch mufflex weighed a freaking ton. I am not sure if 3.5 will support your power goals though...

I plan to initially just make a short exhaust to keep it light. Like two feet long.

my 4" muffler is pretty light compared to my tubing, (not much more weight), but its all detachable so i can dump it right after my downpipe which just reaches my tranny.

with my exhaust setup and turbo, its alot louder then i thought, if its like mine and you want to drive it on the street and not get annoyed youll have to run a catback, the 4" pipe allos alot of sound from the engine, and i only have a 224/224/114 cam

Yeah at idle they are 80% loud as open headers that way.

I can easily make up another exhaust for the car, it had a Mufflex once too. I have had like 10 exhaust setups on the car.

I called and got bounced around for a while. I did talk on the phone with someone and he said 3-4 weeks. I asked him for sure? ... and he said he didn't know. He wants me to call Next Monday just to see if the 3-4 week estimate is going to be close. UNREAL!!!! I'll be shopping around.

Guys, we Deal directly with Bell intercoolers and could get you any size core they have. Ive been amazed with what they have in stock too. I think of the 15-16 cores I ordered from them last year, we only had two backordered and i had those within a few weeks of the initial order. If you PM with your sizes and what thickniess your looking for i'd be happy to help you guys get intercoolers fabbed up for those carss. Let me know if your interested.

Thanks

Stenod
