Loving this project!

Any ideas to prevent it from sounding like a Honda? Pardon my ignorance if the Ecotec's have a distinctive sound to themselves.

Mine actually turned out kinda throaty. It didnt have that high pitched raspy crap. Might have been 'cause the whole exhaust was only about 3 ft long.

Nice car. I like the power train choice as well. Different is good and the Ecotec is a rgeat motor. Nice choice on rims too. I have a staggard set of MParallels on my 79TA. I like them so much I'm seriously considering getting a pair of the 9.5" rims to put on the front so that I have the wide rims all the way around.

Here's my TA with the rims on it

Thanks for looking!!! hope to have more updates asap, intake manifold flange is being cut as we speak and then i will start that along with the accessory drive brackets.
