Hell ya! Congrats. Now burnout with a fist pump in the air!

Looks awesome. You should add a v-band close to the Y so you can remove the exhaust when working on the rear suspension components. I always wish I didn't have to remove the whole thing to do that kind of work on mine.

Thank you! It was my first complete build. I always had a buddy of mine do our systems. Quite proud of myself.

On the system I've got 5 v-bands total.

Two at the headers, two just after the cats and then one more at the muffler section ;) I didn't want to go overboard with it but still maintain serviceability.

Thank you guys. Looking forward to filming some drive by's for you guys.

I have looked at a shit ton of setups and it took forever to figure out what I wanted.

All I can say is holy shit what a hoot! Have to take it easy for the time being because everything still needs to find its place but there is sooo much power upstairs. Can't wait give it the full boot.

Thank you guys!!!

Some thoughts after driving it home!

Holy cow this thing hauls... and I haven't gone above 6000 rpm because I still need to break it in. But wow! At 4500 or so it really really starts going. I drove home in normal mode too, didn't even touch the sport button! The exhaust is SUPER deep, maybe a pinch too deep for low RPM cruising but we'll see how it works out.

It's absurdly quick though. Bunch of friggin guys on the road thought I was trying to mess with them but I'm just busy seating the rings by hard accel/decel LOL.

Another observation... the damn fan doesn't work! I nearly shat myself letting the car idle for a few minutes while talking to a neighbor about it. It was literally hanging out in the red so I shut it off turned the heat and waited a minute... crank but no start. GREAT.

Bled out a fair amount of coolant too... lovely! But it fired back up within a minute or so. Such an amateur move but I could have sworn I saw the fan working when my buddy was test driving the car. I also sat in some traffic and the coolant temps stayed in check. Stupid mistake but hopefully everything is okay.

What is your fan setup again?

[dude8383]

What is your fan setup again?

I'm running a new E30 aux fan controlled by the PWM via the ECU. I think I had jumpered the wrong wires because I fired it up today and swapped the wires around (I'm utilizing the stock wiring to provide power to the circuit) and the fan started working. I'll mess with it again today.

Can't wait to put some miles on this though. I was rowing gears in my sleep all night haha

[dude8383]

Did a few runs around the neighborhood... Realized that I haven't taken a single photo of the car ever since it's been moving under its own power.







I'll have some vids tomorrow!
