What type of exhast system did you install and were does it exit the car? Do you have any more pics of the car, especially the right side where the paint caused shadows to look like wavy body work?
Thanks!!!

The exhaust is just 2-1/2" with Flowmaster mufflers that dump before the rear end. I took it to a local shop and he was not a top shelf shop
he wanted to build his own and I agreed. In fact I believe I have a slight exhaust leak. I also believe this is was caused it to back fire after hard acceleration. I was not sure why the car did it but in searching for feedback it was suggested that an exhaust leak can cause that with a manual trasnmission on decel I am not sure if that is true or not. In any case I still have the remains of the kit and had planned to get it installed. I will note that it is very tight for tail pipes/over rear because of the Ricks tank. I still believe a quality shop could do it.

If you PM your e-mail I can send you bigger copies of the below passenger side. I can't find many but perhaps these will do.


This picture was prior to last primer job

Again the current primer job was my own home brewed quicky to get it one color. I clearly am not not a painter. I just got tired waiting to get through my brother shop as he was always busy


I plan to keep sorting things out and improving the car so I will update this thread as I get things done.

Josh at the muffler man in placenta can help you with that exhaust leak. Josh is damn good with exhaust setups.

Thanks Chris. I am sure with your talent you could make it top shelf.
Let me know on the silverado it has been a good truck but you would likely want a Duramax...much better for big pulling.

Where in the IE are you located? Couple questions for you. Is the motor a bone stock crate LS3? What have you done with the wiring?

Hi Justin,

I am about 40 miles east of Corona up off the 10 FWY. I am in Corona about once a week. I have a small manufacturing shop that I am partners with so I could arrange for the car to be viewed there. It is on Pomona Road (right off 91FWY) between lincoln and maple. I am also in Yorba Linda (Savi Ranch area) once or twice a week at my regular work.

The LS3 is bone stock. The engine harness is new and from Speartech. All the other wiring is also new. It has a AAW Highway22 kit.

Let me know. I have the seats out of the car right now as I am trying to install the quarter window glass driving me nuts I have to order some new window rollers etc still.
