for sure. iwish i had the time to do my car right. lol

we're just lucky there's barely enough room for the battery below the PCM and above the ic piping, only 5 couplers in the whole system.

it'll be nice to keep the weight up front but be able to lower to the axle centerline.

kevin wants to fly a jet so he's takin offers on his slp catback :roflpicard:

3400lbs in the front, 100 in the back :picard:

especially with all the weight reduction last night :bowrofl:

ah i see... thats badass as all hell. mine has 12. fuck. lol

all i heard from yoursetup is how much the couplers were a problem, though having that same side IC or whatever probably doesnt help things as you have to have both pipes go on the same side of the car and more bends

james did a rediculously awesome job on the piping, totally custom, for both the engine bay and inside the bumper cover...

3" IC piping?:eek3:

shock and awe value. lol

what was more of a problem was the pipes i cut to get my piping routed the first time- without a lip or rolled edge on the pipes- the couplers would slide off over time and then pop off. now none of the pipes are cut, and all the couplers are good... i pressure tested it to 25psi. then got scared. errr.. yeah scared. :hsugh:

i got a little work to do yet but the batery fits perfectly in the tire well, im going to have to convert to the top posts, side terminal is too close to the IC pipe, oem wires are plenty long to convert them, it will still need a new fuse box supply/alternator jumper

kevy still has to pull the dash to yank the whole HVAC system and toss it, and clean the damn engine bay, and the trans...and then the backpack just in case the manual brakes dont cut it
