Well the exhaust is officially being a pain in the buns!!(keeping moderators happy) It has taken me 8 hours of real world cut and paste. I wish I had a mandrel bender and som shiney new pipe!!
I will be using a SAAB straight through muffler as a pre silencer.
During construction I found some serious restrictions in the old exhaust and fuel systems. Which makes me wonder just how much more power I have just tapped into. Well we will find out soon enough since the car will be back on the road in 14 days. Yes that is my goal! Help me stay focused guys.
BTW, Good luck to all of you guys in the north east going out to test and tune tomorrow on "Track Opening Day"

I have not forgotten my deadline!! Tomorrow I will complete the transmission tunnel and relocate the axle locator mount for better exhaust tubing clearance. Header is complete and engine is bolted in place.
Today we took a drive and dropped off the driveshaft. Custom driveshaft will arrive this week.
List of things to do...
Mount clutch master (Bracket completed)
Axle locator
Mount MSDs
Battery cables
Add fuel and drive away
Rejoice.
