Whats the exhaust now, open downpipe? And, any plans for a new rear bumper, if you don’t fill it in with an aluminum / Ti exhaust? ---

Thanks! We are probably gonna do an exhaust out of .065 aluminum to keep the weight down. It will be stainless to about 15 inches after it gets under the car. -Em ---

looks amazing. I’ve always liked this car since the 50 trim. 2 questions though… 1. Why did you decide to make the manifold out of a mild steel rather than say stainless? 2. Won’t having an aluminum exhaust be an issue? I’m assuming that it could possibly melt, but I dont know. Possibly a cut out of some sort for track use I’m assuming? Not hating, just wondering. ---

wow all i can say wow, love the color, the setup, the plate everything! But arent you afraid of bugs/gravel/debris flying up into the turbo? Also can you make other manifolds besides dsm? ---

I thought aluminum melts at 1200? a quick google search says the same. that turbo setup looks evil, haven’t seen one rotated out the front yet. ---
