00' Formula WS6 Makeover

very nice! do you know if that y pipe will fit other brands of longtubes, take for instance some pacesetters??

It should fit pacesetters without much modification I would think. Like I said though I had to even modify the TSP headers and ory to fit nicely under the car so using different brands might make things worse, or better as having to cut off a few inches of pipe here and there and slit the ends to fit right def did not make for an easy installation. The damn LPP stainless headers and ory fit better on the z28 when I installed those parts just for reference. Didnt have to cut anything or make slits on the ends to fit over other pipes but the LPP ory did bang on the floorboard with poly motor mounts only because the driver header collector wasnt straight and faced upwards like many of the crappy eGay china brands do, but you get what you pay for I guess...

I heard about the new headers, look sick! But I cant believe they didnt do the y pipe in stainless! That is seriously lame!

Yeah I was really bummed when Matt as TSP told me they were still waiting on getting the ypipe done in stainless.
I would have been much more content with a completely stainless exhaust but the coating should help for a little whille and I can always re-coat or go stainless down the road.




Hopefully this weekend I can get some "comparison pics" with a little before and after shots. I need a new sig pic anyways since the camaro is gone to a new home and it just makes me miss her. Going for an alignment tomorrow morning and then I plan to get some miles on her so I can really test everything out once its broken in.

Snapped a few shots of the car all done on the outside. Its been a blast driving and Im so thankful for having these nice warm days still in November so that I can enjoy the car just a little more before winter hits and she goes into hiding. I wanted to go somewhere cool and take a few shots there but my brother wasnt around when I took them (he is a professional photographer) and my camera's battery was flashing red so I didnt want to risk the driving around to only not get a shot because of that reason.

BEFORE the mods



Now AFTER



Few other shots I took as well...




Interior with new aeroforce gauge. Love messing with that thing, its really neat.

very nice looking ride man!

Here is a little update from the build so far. I was out having some fun with the car after finally breaking all the new stuff in and putting a good 4-500 "easy" miles on her. Ended up getting in some good 140-150mph runs and testing out the new shocks and springs and suspension stuff around the turns. Well, turns out I turned the car too much and blew the power steering. This was even after installing a new cooler and running new Red Line fluid through it. The pump is still working but whining some and the pressure hose is blown along with the return line having a small leak too. I ordered some new Delco lines and decided to make it "all better" now, do it right the first time, right?
Sooo...NEW TURN ONE PUMP AND PULLEY!!!! woot! This thing looks amazing and since the company is up in Saginaw, it came the next day UPS ground. Im still waiting on lines but I might just see if the local NAPA has any in stock so I can get my car back running again for a few more days before we are in the teens and snow and ice hits.




Ill let you guys know how the pump feels once I get it on the car.

It sucks when your car is hurting like that and then even worse sits because of that. There is nothing more rewarding then bringing a car back to life and doing it all yourself! Great build man not too many WS6 Formys still around.

Whats so special about the pump? High pressure?
