Making progress....hot pipe is a little longer than I wanted. It will look cool with exhaust and cold side pipe.


Looks great! What are you doing for exhaust? Are you aiming it straight up, or at the drivers window of the car to your right?

It must be nice to have all that room to work with, no heater box, inner fender......... :( Plus you can stand right there to work on it! 8)

I have a 5 inch elbow that will point up and probably out a bit just behind the hot pipe.

All you guys should ditch your hoods and fenders, like working on the engine on a stand :D

Setup looks good. Reminds me a lot of the layout Levi had in his truck at one time.

It ain't done until its running right, guys. I learned that the hard way. :P

They do look great, I almost had enough room to squeeze a 5" hood stack up between my hot pipe but almost didn't cut it and our local cop got a hard on for them all of a sudden after Justin ran his.

Put a rain cap on it, you know you want to. :twisted:

Rain cap?????? You think I drive a car with no windows in the rain?.......well I've got stuck out there a few times, but it hardly rains here, and it's weak when it does.

Today I painted all the parts and put it all together for the final time. Still waiting on an oil line.....
