the mounts for the origonal 2.8 are nothing like it so I had to design and fabricate everything
the trans will take some punishment but the secret is not to have too much tire... id rather
lose a bit of launch than grenade clutches and transmissions.
once rolling i can hammer it and things stay together lol
intercooler mods done
before mods
the height of any fittings going on top
would interfer with the deck lid so I had
these side exit pcs made up and welded on
another view
thottle body adapter welded on to the other end
yup thats 3" lol
ready to install

Sorry, here's the build thread. I was busy, I haven't done ---- for the past year but worked and bought a new car lol. I really like the upgrades to your car by the way, I'm not completely sure what all is knew, but your hotside is very well designed, amazing how similar it is to mine, puts the turbo in nearly the same place. Your wastegate feed is in a good place, wastegate is close to the turbine, and your new exhaust is really good looking! Wish you could have kept your trunk, but for people that don't need the trunk it's 15 lbs of unnecessary weight. I always liked the SyTy's, for just 285hp they pulled like freight trains, and just exploded off the line.
This is the current N* build, friend's car and build but I did the headers:
