So back to the build...

Those following will recall that the car is making ridiculous amounts of torque at the cost of top end HP. The downpipe v-band is now also the lowest point in the car which has led to some *** pucker moments when it drags.

So the solution I've come up with should fix both problem. Yesterday I ordered a new exhaust from Fast Intentions. I couldn't go with Sasha's connection for a FI exhaust because the lead pipes for the G and Z are different and it wouldn't bolt up. So Tony sold me a somewhat custom exhaust setup. I bought only the X-pipe and Muffler section. He also gave me the extra set of flanges to bolt up to the X-pipe. I will then take the car to my tuner and have him custom fabricate the connection between the X-pipe/WG Recir/Downpipe.

This solution should allow me to open up flow getting back some top end HP and also fabricate around my low spot. As far as I'm concerned, Win-Win. Off to see JTran in the morning to see what this is all going to cost me...

Boosting a NA car is like owning a boat. There's no stop to the money leaving my account. Definitely not a complaint. It's worth it.
