    Thanks all!

    I finished up the driver side tailpipe today. I need to add hangers at the rear then I can say that the exhaust system is complete.

    I've been wondering how well that would work, looks pretty slick. I think I will try running it under on my Galaxie too. Have the shocks, panhard bar, and gas tank in the way on that damn thing :bang:

    Minor update...progress is slow. All of the fab work is done and I've removed everything from the car. Going to hide some wiring and repaint the engine bay. Once that is complete I will clean up the engine and install cam and valves springs.

    Beyond that the only thing left will be to freshen the trans. Our local track opens in a week and a half...hoping to be going by then or possible the week after.

    Lookin good man! Im probably as anxious to see you finish this car as you are!

    I read thru the thread again and thought of a couple questions;

    1 - What headers are you using? Are they off the shelf shorties? Size primaries?
    2 - What ratio exhaust housing and size wastegate are you using?

    Thanks! - Jesse

    They are just some cheap shortys with 1.625" primaries.
    Its a 1.0 A/R housing and 38mm wastegate...

    Thanks,
    Tony
