only got 4 cylinders done last night, I pulled everything apart and realized I had ordered the newer 1 piece valve seals mistakenly. Luckily I found a set of fel-pros locally, but there went another hour chasing down the parts.

It spins tires decent, trying to take it easy on it since it’s untuned for the breathing mods So I finished installing the exhaust system, spent a good amount of time aligning the tips as I wanted to do it right and do it once. I did replace the band clamps that came with the XS Power system with some better quality, stepped 3" band clamps. They are holding perfect. ![http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D-668tADL.jpg](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41D-668tADL.jpg) [http://www.amazon.com/Torca-TorcTite-Preformed-Exhaust-Stainless/dp/B002VR756C/ref=sr\_1\_sc\_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460560357&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=torc+tite](http://www.amazon.com/Torca-TorcTite-Preformed-Exhaust-Stainless/dp/B002VR756C/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1460560357&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=torc+tite) Initial impressions - the cutouts do a great job of sealing the exhaust noise when closed. I laid underneath the car while it warmed up for a good 10 minutes, feeling with my hand for any leaks or telltale “puffing” in and around the valve itself. Nothing at all. @**[cougarspeed](http://www.nyspeed.com/member.php?u=1346)** did a great job welding it all up. I think the v-bands warped ever so slightly but I blame this on the lack of a protruding flange on the machined ring itself…not a big deal. There was the occasional drop of condensation that came out of the closed butterfly, but this is to be expected and went away as the system warmed up and expanded. The one downside that I did encounter is that the closed valves do have a slight rattle around the 1100 rpm mark, on cold start. It’s very faint but when you listen from outside the car, it’s there. Not a loud tinging/pinging, more of a low pitched, deep metallic buzzing. I am thinking about slightly modifing the bellcrank on the outside so that the hardstop opens the valve by just a hair more - to prevent contact and take up any slop in the linkage. I was not able to verify if it was the butterfly valve rattling on the housing, or the linkage itself (ball end/socket). Will find out and report back. Still need to figure out the control system - but I did open the valves by hand while laying under the car when it was running on the lift - makes some nice angry sounds at idle :bigtup: Stay tuned, more to come next week ---
