Kewl build. I'm in. I've been considering an S10, myself.
I know it'd be faster than my heap, as it is, now.
Keep up the good work!

The upper tube that enters in the tb is going to be changed a little bit. It comes really high right now so i need to lower it a bit. And BTW the radiator is not a cts-v, just from a cts v6!

Still not sure where to exit the exhaust, would like to have a little advice on where to place the downpipe. Anyone tell me their opinion, doesnt matter where, it doesnt have to look stock.

It depends on how loud or tame you want it. Aren't you going sleeper?

Well originally i wanted to go sleeper but i have to do a cowl hood due to room for the intake and also some wide tires, so that gives it away. I dont want it too loud but not really going for tame either.

If it were me i would just run y pipe and then simple exhaust after that. keeping cats and muffler. and just put it out one side by the rear bumper for a normal location. just what i would do if it were my truck though
