            • Nada, not yet Fred. Stainless steel covers for a few pieces of the engine bay.

              Craig - probably will stick with the magnaflow for now. I did not anticipate changing the exhaust and do not have the $$$ to do that right now. Once the car starts and is able to be driven for the front end alignment, I plan to take it straight from the alignment shop to Mr Muffler to have the y-pipe fitted on and my cutout installed.

              • You should be able to put the Y pipe on before startup and then you would need to have the I pipe changed or shortened to fit the Y.
                But since you're doing a cut out the I pipe would need to be modified anyway.

                • Yeah, we'll hook it up if it fits, I just don't know if there will be enough room to get the y-pipe in there with the I pipe where it's at - seems like there's not a lot of room.

                    • At this point, we're only waiting for the automatic radiator to arrive from Florida, wire up the transmission cooler, and then fill the transmission and radiator with respective fluids. If we get the radiator today, we could be starting it tomorrow.

                            the tranny is bone dry, and I believe if we start it even for a few seconds or a minuite it could burn up the pump. So we are playing it safe rather than sorry.
