Here's Todd... somebody make fun of him, please. My bald ass has hurt feelings *sniff*

Downpipe lengthened to a mutant extent and O2 bung fitted. The back half will be cut off and turned into a test pipe later, when more stainless pipe, cat, + muffler rolls in for the rest of the exhaust.

Got the car running right now, 6 psi non-IC. We lacked the fittings to do the water-air IC immediately as everything we found at Homeboy Depot would have looked like complete crap and not have been very functional (hanging 1/2 lb of steel adapters off of threaded thin wall aluminum sheet is not a good idea). Tuning atm with the Uberdata tuner... glitchy but seems to be working pretty well - nice safe rich (.975-1.080 regular O2 volts under boost) and .85 deg/psi retard.

Need to go wire up my wideband right now; forgot half the cables at home in NC like a dumbass, have to redo all that stuff.

Hey this is Todd. I got some more pics of the finished (for now) setup. Btw I have sold the manifolds before but I think I might be holding off for a while. I also sold them for $500. They are a royal bitch to weld up and I'm gonna spend some time making some nice low buck stainless log type manifolds. They honestly work very well. Well on to the pics.

First up is a pic of my car. Yeah she is filthy..

Close up of the RFL.. Can't hear it over the open downpipe.. :P How do you like the AEM.. ;D

Hope you guys enjoy. We should have a pretty decent tune on it tonight and I will post up some ballpark quarter mile speeds soon. FWIW it did about 99mph on the stock speedo before.

Re:w00t! What I did today
 
I dig the manifold. Nice job. Do you guys do house calls? :P

One thing I can't understand is how you can't hear the RFL? Even with an open downpipe mine would shatter glass.

My one colpaint would be the air filter location. That thing is going to be sucking hot ass air from the radiator. :-X
