No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

I am looking at mufflers to replace my fart can and this one looks like it may fit the bill but it would be nice to get some nice tips.

Well I got the manifold done this weekend. I'm starting to get better at tig welding, I wish all the welds looked like the last few but I think they will hold just fine
And thanks to whodwho and downforce22 for helping me with the megasquirt! The car fired up first try, it was super rich and idled pretty bad but after I adjust the reg_fuel for the 2.8 and took some fuel out of the ve table I got it bouncing around mid 14s. The map seamed to have a lot of timing in it around idle compared to most other I seen so I took a few degrees out of it as that smoothed the idle out a lot.
A pic of the pretty turbo!
Also since my oil lines haven't came in yet I built a little temp exhaust so I could start it up and listen for any manifold leaks.
So don't be hating the hood stack haha
This week I'll start building the intake piping then the exhaust piping and it will almost be ready!

Good to hear. Looks like it is really coming along! As for your valence comment, the early iX doesn't have much of a rear valence so I don't have to worry about it but I noticed the same thing with how far apart the outlets were.
Also, make sure you put lots of thread tape on your oil fittings to make sure they don't leak. The high pressure of the pump caused lots of leaks on mine and for some reason at first I didn't think I needed thead tape on them.
oh yeah, one more thing

After the last few years of troubling slowly over heating in traffic I finally narrowed it down to a partly cloged rad, figures the only thing I haven't changed twies by now. Yay to no more over heating!
I've been doing some street tuning the last few days. I hadn't got into it yet but it starts to build boost under 2500rpm. Dyno is scheduled for next Wednesday!
