Nice work on the exhaust. Are those made mufflers or bought? The welds make it look custom made.

Holley did some one off mufflers to knock down the sound pressure.

Thanks for the update!
Have more questions for you, I know, I'm that annoying kid in class that asks all the questions

What are the tabs/brackets circled below?





We know you and most everybody makes those trunk notches in order to route the exhaust up over the rear, but in this one pic, it looks like there's a section taken out from the rear seat area. What was that for?



As always, thanks for sharing and your time!

The holes in the top photo are pass throughs for the diff vent, fuel tank vent Two Much Canisters. Also a pass through for wiring.

The tab in the middle photo is the pickup point for a brace brace that reinforces the pan hard rod. I’ve added this to my last 4 build to stiffen up the DSE bracket.

The last photo is the clearance hole we cut into the floor pan for exhaust clearance. We will fill patch it once the exhaust is done. It gave us a ton of extra room for the 3 inch pipe to go over the axle.

If you’re running ABS why are you using a prop valve? I’ve seen it on a few of your builds and with the C5 ABS I have for my car I know it controls bias. Is it just a back up fail safe you’re using it for?

Yes I balance the system with ABS turned off then turn on the ABS. Yes it is an event of ABS system fault. Not likely but give me a piece of mind.

Good information. Does having the prop valve in it set to balance the car with the ABS off mess with the balance when the ABS is turned back on?
