Ok guys, for those of you that have been following my progress here are some pics of the exhaust. please give me some feedback? remember constructive criticism, not something like "that sucks". if you dont like it tell me why and what would you do to try to fix it. i also appreciate all of your patience with me and this build. i know i cant wait and the car will be tuned on the 17th or this monday. but basically its dual 3" coming from the downpipe to a 2.5" electric cutout, then back to a bassani x-pipe(no cats) then through a borla exhaust. we will see how it sounds i know im curious to hear it.

Looks good. I'm sure that thing is gonna make some power. When does it get tuned? Maybe I good stop by and see it.

Two things......1. Wrap the pipe under the tie rod boots so they don't melt. Sure they've already done that. 2. Where are the front o2's? Don't use the shitty cross over pipe like CPE did. Put them in the stock locations.

thanks again, yeah the cut outs are awsome. well the car was filled up with fluid, took damn near 11 quarts of oil to fill the thing up with all the extra oil stuff we put in. also put in evans coolant and that was good, but when we put gas in it to start it the sumped tank started leaking in a few places. now im not trying to flame any company(MMR), but when you spend $600 bucks for a gas tank it better not leak. so far today we had to drop the tank twice to re-weld some places on the sump and then the rear of the tank where its folded up and then welded. its been a major pita. so now tomorrow the tunning will start hopefully.

11psi spring. Be careful running that thing at 23psi on pumpgas. Run 16-18psi MAX on pump and throw some good gas in there and turn that shit up to 28psi or so with a good tune and the cutouts open and pull it to 7000rpm. If you dont see 9xxrwhp I would be VERY suprised!
