I've decided to lift the veil of secrecy around my twin build up (translation: finally got batterys for the camera and decided I take the pics BEFORE going out to work on the truck for 10 hours...)

Here we go:

Since I'm moving to Rochester NY, I added the ability to add cats to the exhaust stream or run straight pipes on track days. I used Magnaflow spun metallic race cats and Stainless Works long tubes.





Let me tell you how much fun it was to make this crossover... I had this silly idea of keeping all the exhaust up inside the frame of the truck, because I hate seeing stuff hanging randomly down. Yes, my berserker-perfectionism caused me a lot of grief here -- especially in creating the compound curves necessary to get the passenger side exhaust over to the x-pipe with the big *** 4L80E transmission in the way...

(Edit: the pics kept going away -- hopefully these will be permanent).

 

Here's the hidden exhaust in all it's hidden, pita, headache inducing glory:



Getting the x pipe to the mufflers...



The whole schmeer:





Those are Magnaflow 4" bullets by the way. On to the TURBOS...



Yep... still fabbing the wastegates (ok -- still picking the location for the wgs lol). I did have to use the BFH a bit for some adjustment to run the exhaust through here...



YAY!!!

And now, to talk about the parts that I spent the most ridiculous amounts of time on... Looks simple, right?... Heh. I did the baloney cuts on the tips with a hand held cut off wheel.







From the wheel well:






I almost burned the truck to the ground over this next pic... This is the clearence between the caltrac bar (that I'd forgotten was not installed when I fabbed the tips...) at ride height... At full droop, let's just say I can pick traction or exhaust from the turbos...



Turbo exhaust (and nice view of 13.5" tires )





The difficulty with mounting the turbos side-facing is a little thing called a drive-shaft... Here's my solution -- COBRAHEADs

And here's my version of twin cold air snorkels..



Finally a crappy pic of the turbos, top-down.



Th-th.. th-th-th... th-that's all folks For now...

Well where the hell are the "reserved pics" at?

 

Damn good thing you can weld! That's seriously tight.

 

Lookin good! Now get busy and getter runnin!

 

That almost looks too good to work. Could pass off as a concept car that shouldn't ever be driven you know. Looks immaculate...I'm jealous!! Lol

 

Damn buddy, you've got tons more patience than I have. A lot of hours under that truck! Looking good!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys -- makes all those long hours in 100* heat worth while.

 

that is a SICK set-up man.... those look like ebay turbos to me... are they?
