Thats certainly possible with the 2.6!

3 questions:

1) Why are your header collectors hanging super low in that one pic? They seem like 4-6" lower than mine hang

2) Whats going on with your axlebacks? Is that an extra tip welded on, or a new gt500 system?

I already forget question #3

Yes. They are hushmasters. Not too hush though.

Question 1: the engine was hanging back on the mounts. They moved up about 4 inches.

2: yes. Custom tips powdercoated.

3: no. My wife has no idea how much I spent on this new build.
