GSXRAntwon Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Made some progress on the hot side tonight. Merge collector done and passenger side almost done. We ran out of stainless, the rest of it will be here tomorrow. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/e6a4a516.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/ec95e1be.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/e07705a9.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Yea just some cheap 17s for now. Next year I plan to do a nice set of street wheels. The hotside is 99% done now, just waiting on a stainless flex section to arrive tomorrow. Some of Jons welds tonight. He was a little under the weather today but still managed to do a great job as always. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/ca719838.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/02ac3028.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/18739cda.jpg Mockup of the passenger side http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/24abc1e1.jpg Passenger side done http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/806ff96b.jpg We left the passenger to driver side unwelded as this is where the flex will go tomorrow. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/cfe368df.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/3fc76723.jpg Heres how we left it for the night. It will go up in the air tomorrow to get the downpipe finished. I plan to run an aluminum exhaust after it exits over the front K-member http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c381/hlfvipr/4f228a32.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
