I had a Fernco piece on there too. I swapped to a Spectre piece, but it's ribbed and I would rather have a smooth coupler. Blah haha.

Lol well here she is. Drove her back up to school today so 200 miles in about 3 hours. I did the 50 mile gm break in procedure before hand. Overall she ran great. Have some vibration issues I need to get sorted most from the exhaust rubbing since its probably out of adjustment.

I've got a 100mm maf setup and a 102 lid I'm just on the fence about using it or going SD. I dd the car though.

Finally all back together lol looks/sounds just like an ls1 with bolt ons. It drives obviously like stock but the torque is awesome lol. Taking off from a light or passing on the hwy is so effortless compared to the ls6.

INB4 someone gives me **** about the stereo cables...The fuse block broke so thats what I had to do to have a radio, new block is going in tomorrow
