small update
mufflers got here today, they are stainless steel packed and 60nzd each. this will be my exhaust set up two 2inch pipes from block to the around the diff with 2 mufflers (one in each pipe) then into one 3inch pipe to the varex rear muffler to control the volume. i may have to get a different tip welded on to hide the butterfly valve in the muffler as the are illegal here lol i know not the best but its what i can afford and the 2inch extractors where free so thats why im staying with the 2inch for now any way here are some pics
and ill just through this out there, test fit so see what the filter/itb's look like on engine bay thats all for this week chaps

looking good man. my exhaust will be similar but not the same mufflers. im using the ceramic packed ones from nz. i forget the name of them but they flow great and are commonly used to quiet pp/bp rotaries but still make power. i like how you used a flange for your pp instead of the usual set up. im not sure about those filters, i wonder how well they flow? keep up the good work and cannot wait to see a vid of this beast running!

its all good...car looks sick...at least you can "drive" yours...Mine is still on stands and will be for months to come...:-P
Maybe you should relax on spending until you have a plan of what you really want to do??
I know for me I make lists of what I want to get...what I need to get.... and double check my wants/needs before I start throwing money out there....this way i can not have as much "wasted money" and "wasted parts" laying around....
