thanks for all the comments guys. i love it. imo its the best looking y ive seen yet and theres not another that will come off and on as easy. ill try and answer all the questions if i miss one let me know.
all in all i have close to $400 in this y. between the stainless pipe (expensive) and the slp lm2 resonator and qtp stainless cutout. (i already had the elec cutout) not to mention $45 a peice for the v band clamps from summit. actually accounting those and shipping i have over $400 in materials.
yes that lift is in my buddys garage
its a bad *** garage-super pimp.
hes also an incredible welder. and he enjoys doing it so its never rushed and always turns out great.
the qtp headers are my only complaint thus far. the quality is sub par honestly. atleast from what i was expecting. and the pass side rubs the k member so that will need to be resolved. as well as one fo the primarys leaks a bit.
this wont be a production peice. if u were local im sure we could get one done for u but i dont want this to turn into a for sale thread. im not a sponsor and it wasnt my intention with this thread. so dont lock my thread mods
i dont have a sound clip yet but ill try and get one. the car isnt running so hot as it hasnt been tuned yet. not until next week. i added a whole butt load of parts when i did this so the before and after dyno numbers are going to be a tad diff
and yes the lm2 muffler was added for noise reasons but it honestly didnt do very much. i had a spiral flow before and it was quieter with that.
keep the replys coming and any questions u might have feel free to ask.

for those of u who asked for clearance pics/ sound clip here u go. the car isnt tuned yet so its running rich as hell so the tone will change a bit but not too much. alot less smoke though
u can see how low my car is already and how low the qtp's hang compared to other brands
and the clip

So much for QTP's being great quality huh? I just refuse to pay $1000 for a set of frickin headers, I don't care what they're made of. I still say they are better than 95% of them out there. I expected to notch the k member on the passenger side. I just hope no leaks develop on the primaries or QTP will have these back.
