Rich

The hours were to remove the trans, check the slave, repair the fitting, re-install the trans and bleed the clutch.

+1 on hoping this one doesn't blow up

On my 2004 GTO, I had headers, catless mids, and a Corsa Sport (the dual 3" mids went to a Y to 3.5" straight through muffler, no resonator). It was pure sex. Louder than **** on just a bolt-on car but damn it was a beautiful sound. Since Corsa doesn't sell mufflers individually, I'm going dual side exit with bullet mufflers.

Been following your build threads. Wishing you the best of luck on this one -- you deserve it. Props for doing as much of the work on this as you did. I'd think you know every inch of your car by now...

Thanks again for stopping by today and checking out the shop. Chris got lucky and witnessed a few of Havoc's dyno runs after his cam install. Should be off the dyno by the end of the day with some good hp/tq numbers. Here are the direct links to the larger pictures. Give us a call if you have any other further questions with the build.

FIXED!!! Thanks to Anthony and Jim @ JE. Great guys who explained everything that was being done and what it would cost. It was VERY helpful to have someone who is familiar with the swap give the setup a quick once over prior to startup.

^same thing i was thinking lol. congrats on the progress cass! car is looking good. and for starting 3 months after me, your closer than i am lol.
Clear mind and open wallet... can't lose JE got me in on a few days notice and then fabbed up parts like they were coming off a shelf in the back room, so they deserve mad credit. If not for that, the car would be just sitting and waiting. Also, I don't work much over the summer, so I just spent the time I usually use playing golf and going to the casino working under the car.

****ing awesome! I want one too.
TY sir

I know the car now as well as I know my wife... now if I could just get the car to want to put out as often as she does.

Thanks for the pics and the outstanding service. Saw Havoc's car on the dyno... impressive!!! I can't say enough how sweet the car sounds

Overall a solid day today and everything went as planned. Picked the car up at JE Import Performance, had AAA tow it to Diebold Autosport in Winchester, VA and followed the tow truck over there. Met with Franz briefly and dropped off the fluids and front fascia for the car and headed home. Roundtrip was 400 miles and a bit over a tank of gas in ~9 hours. Now its just fingers crossed that the rest of the project goes smoothly.

Agreed!!! They even did the H-pipe because they have seen TQ gains with that setup vs an X-pipe. I meant to ask them for something to help with the resonance but forgot, this is the best of both worlds. The only complaint I had with my APS 3" Duals was the drone at a cruise and this should lessen that a bit.

Got a couple of pics from Franz yesterday via MMS. They are a bit small, but full of WIN!!

Here is how you build a proper harness. Lay it all out and then put it together.

A full 4" intake pipe from the TB to the air filter . She's gonna breathe deep and easy.

Looking good Cass! I'm going to be switching to a 4" single intake as well I think.
