Cut the center compartment out, won't need a plate and shows off the rear.

I like the V-clamps on the exhaust. Do the tips stay straight with them?

I just finished putting this new exhaust on and I am already concerned about whether or not they'll stay straight. If for any reason they don't, I've already started thinking about some ways to add support for them at the other end. The way they're mounted, there's a ton of leverage against them staying straight. You gots some ideas?

Wondering what you edited out. You can text it to me. I'm sure it's something that would have gotten you kicked out or your PCM broken!

Good stuff Brett. I would like to hear how much lower the IAT's are with the pre-blower meth nozzle. Hope the exhaust works out well. Mine has been a constant battle to keep from hitting either the frame or the tranny. Pretty aggrivating and mine necks down to 2.5" at the end of the mid pipe.

Donno what posessed you to polish the cradle but it looks neat.

Thanks Bill. I'll let you know what happens with the IAT's. I also re-located my IAT to the bottom of the charge pipe and used one from the earlier F-body and ZR1. It screws in instead of using a grommet.

Thanks Todd. Running as much boost as I am going to run and with the discharge temps at what I expect them to be pre-intercooler, it'll take a huge volume of meth to puddle up. With the air movement and the temperature, I expect the meth to stay vaporized.

Along with any small animals that get in front of you.
