For the early 1G's yes, then they switched to the 6.75" front speakers.

Sup medusa, that's a lot of piping! Cool to see it finally welded up though. Got your motor all assembled yet?

*edit* you were busy while I was doing dizzle's head, I missed the last update. That's a lot of progress! Can't wait to see it all come together. You're saving $$ for dyno time, right?

[Swifty1638]

Of course I am! I need a tune for this pos to start rombing on it.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Hopefully your turbo spools before revlimiter with all that pipe to fill.

Here's to hoping his intercooler piping and intake manifold don't look the same.

[Swifty1638]

??

You know what they're talking about, lol. I think it looks good, and I hope it sticks through the hood.

[Swifty1638]

I don't know really what they speak of. I know rev issues, and the longer runners on the manifold, but matt D's comment throws me off..

[Constant_Project21]

Think they're referring to your giant intercooler piping. That's my guess.

[Swifty1638]

ah. Well, yea, we shall see!

New pics of it done and mocked up on Ed's car (Joes brother, the guy making my mani) are up on FB. I'll wait to just post the pics of it on my car, once it arrives.

[Constant_Project21]

Sweet, can't wait to see it all together, getting close now!

Really? lol.

[Swifty1638]

Since scheides was going to flip if I didn't update..

I gotta first say thanks to my buddy Joe out on PA for making this manifold for me. He took time, even after his normal job, and rushed this manifold up and out to me. Thanks again. We went back n forth about skipping packing peanuts, and just using shit. Even joked about pooping into the manifold because he did it for soo cheap. Either way, after chasing down the USPS chick today for my package (she rang the doorbell, then ran off before I could get to it, so I got in my car and drove after her so I could sign for it) I tore into it, and found a few things:




I then found a box for a dynatek arc-2, opened it, and he shipped me..



I threw it all on the car, after modifying some shit..





I gotta take it all out again, and modify the lower motor mount more, and figure the stupid oil return. John will have a fun time trying to fit the exhaust, lower ic pipe, and wg dump in there.. oh, and I think there is a nugget of doggie poop in the manifold, so I gotta blow it out somehow..damn Joe, and his jokes! That's it for now..

[GsXtUrBo98]

Thats looking SWEET! Congrats on getting the manifold

[scheides]

Looks good man! I'm confused as to where the exhaust and such will go...Goodluck!

Cut a hole in the hood?

[sleepydsm]

[Kracka]

It does all look really nice!

[Matt D.]

Looks awesome, but I'm with everyone else... Where is your exhaust pipe going?

[TalonFiero]

Swifty, you may want to look into the new TiAL wastegates that are smaller.
