My F/I setup...before installation

I didn't know really to post this here or to post it in the Forced Induction section, so i figured i have more pictures than words i guess. Here's my setup (everything to be installed june 3rd). Warning, first set of exhaust pictures aren't great. I used my brothers cheap camera. Rest of the pictures i used my good camera

I plan to buy a wideband and fuel system later (maybe headers as well) and stoptech brake kit (so i can stop!!!). I bought most of everything online, actually got a few parts from members on this forum. Search the classified ads often, i got the ultimate racing cats and autosport harness from there (brand new). I bought the vortech from superchargers4less in april. Talk to mike, he's a cool guy. Buy the polished kit though! Thanks.

WOW! You have a great setup! Where in Socal are you installing this? Do you mind if I ride in your car when its done? I wanted to ride in a Vortech Z for the longest time to see how it is. Before I went turbo I wanted to go S/C Vortech. I have always been a fan of Vortech. Nice setup bro.

Oh and the exhaust, you are going to love it. I have same exhaust system.

He has done vortechs before on Gs and a couple turbonetics kits. His prices are great as well. Anyone who wants to ride, just has to pay gas. No jk. Once i get it tuned probably will be better, but yea a ride is fine. I'm in Chino hills and i appear every so often at meets.

$200 to polish, i bought the satin kit because i wanted to black chrome everything but it turned out i changed my mind (for warranty issues), so i took it to a harley polisher i met at the west coast Z internationals meet. He did excellant work. Especially the intercooler, which i believe doesn't come polished when u buy it from factory. He did all the pipes, even the ones that dont show because they were easy to do anyways. Amazing before and after pictures of them. What a difference!

Here's a nice shot of the blower

Cheaper to have it polished, however, if you can buy something already polished from the factory i would get that if thats what you will go for anyway. I guess once the polisher attempted the job, the blower was hard to polish with all the grooves in the back. Its about 300-350 dollars more to get a polished kit. And they only polish the blower and 2 pipes, i had everything polished just for the hell of it.

Curious, how did you attach the stock muffler diffuser to your new exhaust? I like that.

Just unbolt it from the stock muffler, and use the stock screws and screw in. It was in the directions so i just put it on. You can't see it looking underneath so why not put it on?
