The methanol is a future project, after my bank account stops smoking

Another problem on the horizon for me is tuning. Not too many viable options in this part of the country unfortunately.

Looks really good! 
Hehe your dump tube looks tiny "lol".
4" exhaust :wacko: I beleive Borla makes 4" strait through mufflers as well. I know they make a titanium XR1.
Tips:
* You can get a water heater blanket and use the under the carpet/over the transmission tunnel to deaden the sound and reduce the heat.
* Use the yellow stuff made for gas (500 deg temp) to seal atp fittings instead of white stuff.

Yeah, that's the general idea. they're only 6 inch in diameter on a 4 inch pipe, so who knows if they'll do a damn thing

I'm just going to install the exhaust, see how it is, and adjust from there.

Looking good! I'm glad someone with a lot of experience and whose tried out several different setups went with this kit. I can't wait to see what kind of power you'll be putting down

Rich seems to be immune to exhaust volume. When I lived in NJ the front of my building was a good distance from the road. There was a lawn, sidewalk, more lawn, and then the street. My place was near the back of the building. When Rich drove down my street with his old setup the floor shook, the windows rattled, and all the birds that weren't killed by the exhaust fumes didn't start chirping again for a good 5 minutes. It was like a combo between a monster truck rally and 747 fly-by.

Chris, I remember fondly the times I would come to a stop about 50 feet before your building, scan for cops, then proceed to tear off, revving out first and second gear
