The manifolds are stainless works f-body turbo headers. I was going to use truck manifolds but I could not route the piping the way I wanted and the headers give me the ability to retain all the accesories if I wanted. The rest of the installation I have been fabing up as I go along.

Ok I decided to polish up the piping just to see how it looks.....I think it turned out awesome.


The downpiping and muffler should be here next week so I can fab that up. I am on the fence on air to air or air to water intercooler. Gonna try and get that stuff on order start of next week.

looks like you would have fairly short cold pipes either way. turbo looks like it pointing right at where an a2a would be sitting.

can you show a better pic of where the hot pipes merge?

Got the downpipe and muffler in today. Gonna start fabing that up this coming week. 5" pipe is bigger than I thought.


I will get a pic of the merge in a minute.

finally got to work a little more on the truck. Got the downpipe laid out and all that is left is to cut a hole in the fender...little scared about doing that.

The polished piping looks awesome. Is the exhuast going to exit at the fender?
