So glad to hear you're enjoying the car. It's a sweet build. Good luck with the upgrades!

I bet that will sound superb when all hooked up. The Spintechs really do line up with the other ones, should be an easy enough swap. Can't wait to hear that thing.

Congrats Neil, hope you will do a walk around Vid with this beast running with the Spin Tech's or a drive by Vid ?

Will do. Still waitin' on parts and I'm out of town for work for until mid-June.

I finally got the 3" exhaust system bolted up today. The fit of the system is excellent and was a 100% bolt-on effort. No cutting, no drilling, no welding. All I did was dress the ends of the pipes and expand a few of the joints a bit. It basically fell into place. I still need to take a drive and final align the clamps. I'm still debating whether or not to put a 45 degree cut on the tailpipe exit. Nice work Hooker!

Yes, 45s I think Neil. Also, we need a sound clip with those spintechs and 3 inchers!



Edit: what are those bushings?

Sound clips to follow! The bushings are the Hooker-supplied tailpipe hangers/isolators. Everything bolts up to existing holes which was a requirement for my build.

Spintech is a great choice for that engine Neil. Can't wait to hear it sing.

And for your car and theme I would leave the tips as is. Looks great.

Ahh, roger that. Subframe connectors in your future or did I miss them?

I've agonized over this. I really, really don't want to drill or weld on the car. I don't plan to launch the car or put sticky tires on it, but some type of additional structure under there sure would be nice. I've seen some cars start to crack where the rear quarter meets the roof at the corner of the side window, and I don't want this to happen on mine.
