Haha that might be how mine ends up... I was going to mate it all to my LM but Alvin informed me it might be a bit restrictive as the LM tapers down to 2 and 3/4 " when it splits over the axle.. so I'm probably going to dump it right before the rear

I cut the merge off of my Pacesetter y-pipe and welded on a 4" merge... Then it goes through a short section of 4" pipe, into a 4" dynomax bullet, and then a turndown just before the rear end. Its loud no matter what I do. If I mash the pedal it will deafen people.

I was honestly thinking exactly the same thing to do with my pacesetter ypipe

Yayyy more presents today.. it took compcams less than a week to take my order, make a custom grind, and get the cam to me

+34873462376523 for them lol

Oh and +78678523175865987 for Fastbird, got the modified fuel rails in the mail today for -8AN lines

Don't mind the rails kinda dirty, I opted for fastbird not to have them powdercoated... but I'm going to clean them up somehow.. I was going to get them black but since my manifold will be black, it might be a bit much... SO I might just have them sandblasted to clean them up when I bring in my manifold

Still need to order/do:
Fuel Pumps/Lines/Fittings
Intercooler Piping
Sandblast/powdercoat intake manifold
Maybe a wastegate

Polish the rails... Sandblasting is gonna make them appear really dull.

Meh, I'll figure something out I'm sure the powdercoating place can polish too so they'll have something done to them haha

That works... Those rails will polish up easily with some neverdull and less than an hour of your time though. May be cheaper than paying the powder coating place to do it.

Using what to polish? Just the neverdull and a cloth?

They need to be cleaned some way because somehow they have like a rust stain on them

**Fire67** · 02-25-2009, 03:11 PM

I see that, and trust me... Neverdull will remove that too. The only thing the neverdull wont help with is any scratches you may have on there. In that case, you'll need to use some fine grit sand paper. Start with maybe 320ish and finish with at least a 6xx grit before going to town with the neverdull.

The rails have a clear coat of some sort on them from the factory, its what makes them appear dull right now. The never dull will eat through the clear in no time with some firm pressure and elbow grease.

Well thank you very much for the tips sir, I appreciate it and will get to doing that next weekend probably
