i would spend the extra money and buy one of the two or three nice ass 620's in the north carolina area!!!

so when can i start my apprentice ship, i have welding experience and im good at it. i love working with metal. damn man you are a genius, i wish i could do things like this, problem is its hard running a body shop in a driveway. looks great man, you have 12131332412341403240003409999.5 times the patience i have. maybe it goes faster for you since your alot more experienced.

blue!!! i win i win!!!

punt dog

mike is right, shouldnt be too hard, just make sure you keep everything clean and use lots o brake cleen and compressed air to ensure there are no peices in anythign else

yeah and when that happens all the rest of the 510's will be snatched up by dumbasses all alike and trashed out!!!!! fuck this shit pisses me off

whats the air cleaner for??? surely not dual 44's!

damn dude if i only had a chance liek that!!!

i was on my way to the bank to get you 3500 cash but when i realized you didnt post your location and then you said cali i said fuck it!!!

find what size you have, probably alot of m8, go to an industrial supply and get grade 8 or better, i made alot of trips to an industrial supply when installing my engine, new hardware rules!!!! as for th eflywheel bolts i wouldnt use anything but oem nissan stuff. junkyard or new through nissan

go rent a tool, ive used every kind but that kind and they were all a pain in the ass, i used the clamp style and got mine together, its not like you have a lot of valve springs to do, go to the auto parts store, (not oreillys) and rent one.

definitely run the ones on the left, the heat riser shit blows, (literally), it will also save you some work see as how your intake is already nice and clean! be sur eto post more pics and a vid of the thing running!

whats the specs on the box, whats it tuned to??? how many cubes, port length etc??? it looks undersized for w7's might just be the pic though. if anyone buys this setup i would recommend 2 1000/1v2 amps not the alpine, also mount the amp off of the box to keep its circuits as far away from that deadly vibration. good deal on subs though. i doubt that amp would hurt them even if they were tuned wrong, and judging by the box even if an infrasonic filter was used incorrectly it probably wouldnt hurt the w7's, the decreased volume wouldnt allow max cone extension at any boost level with that amp.

oh yeah and both times i had my exhaust done the guys didnt even weld the pipe all the way around, they fucking suck ass, and if they dont give me a refund or redo this shit atleast half asses the right way im gonna flip. i mean hell half ass doing it the right way is bad but damn half ass doing it the wrong way is just plain shady, if you guys hear about arson on an exhaust shop in ky you will have know wether or not they fixed me up

i had 2 inch pipe that was crush bent into a thrush turbo muffler, sounded ok but it was a little loud out on the highway, that was fine for my old tired l20 with hitachi carb. now i have another 2 inch crush bent exhaust thats all fucked up hanging down and ugly, it has several bends in it and i know the actual pipe diameter at the bends is 1.25 inches or less!!! i tried the turbo muffler on this setup and it sounded like shit so i ran a cherry bomb glasspack, its worse than before and it really really choked my motor up, i have threatened cutting it all off but im afraid the exhaust shop wont help me out. mine looks like ballsack and sound sliek shit, you may not beleive me but i swear i lost 10+ horsepower especially at high rpms my thrush turbo and glass pack will be available for sale soon if anyone wants em. if i have to go crush bent im going to bump up to the 2.5 diameter pipe, also both times i have requested 2 inch pipe it has been od not id 2 inch so it was 1 7/8 inch id to begine with. i loved the sound of the straight manifold but it was dangerous and potentially harmful to the engine. the only thing i didnt like abotu the open manifold was the roaring sound of exhaust gases, the actual frequency of the note was good but the expulsion of the gases sounded like a huge ass continuous fart.

so after looking around and not finding anything, i have decided to start this thread to discuss a very important but sometimes overlooked part of our powertrain, EXHAUST. Any discussion on pressure sciences, bending techniques, etc. I have had my exhaust done 3 times by a local shop and its worse than it has ever been! it sucks having the skills and know how to build a nice exhaust but not having the tools and equipment to do so. Also lets talk about mufflers, any opinions, construction etc. So far i have learned that anything but mandrel bent tubing sucks!!!!! rednecks with mig welders suck!!! and glasspacks and cheap mufflers sound like shit and really do hurt performance. my truck ran better, burned less fuel, and had more power when i had nothing but a straight manifold! it was loud as shit but it turned heads for sure!!!! as for now im thinking of running my own 2.5 inch exhaust from the manifold to under the cab then straight out the sides. feel free to POST PICTURES of your exhaust no matter how shitty it looks.

on a serious note, yes cut the bitch off. chances are you wont like the sound!

hell no!!!! you might launch into space man!!! for god sakes dont endanger everyone on the road. thats like putting 10 jato units on my dirt bike!!!!! great scottt

put some oil in the gas a drive around like uncle buck!!!

well god damn didnt even get any pictures!!!! fuck!

cheap as hell man!!

NO SHIT!!!

beebani, how many versions of the hardbody caliper bracket did you make?? i know of three? what did you change on them? i know some of them utilize all 4 backing plate bolts and some only use 3?????? no need to exlain how good they are or anything, i know they all will work fine, just my curiosity.

how about 20 bucks
