Wow Jamie showing some fabrication skills, I like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Those aren't my skills. I wish they were mine. I have not done any welding. I plan to take a night class one of these days. Just hasn't worked out yet. This year sometime I am sure I'll can get in for a class.

I'll try to get some pics of my exhaust. I think this sucker is going to be pretty loud. Just so tight a space my muffler is pretty damn short. Added a small resonator as well so hoping it isn't to obnoxious. I really wanted more the sleeper setup. I can always change it around later.

I also need to get the 3 sensors from my speed hut gauges. Another thing I sent off with my last drivetrain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) . I'll give Speedhut a call on Monday. My damn intercooler is the last thing. One I bought is just a touch to big. The perfect size doesn't seem to exist.

If you're planning on driving to RRC, I'd really like to see your work as would others I'm sure! I've got some exhaust ideas for you too... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

My trunk coming together. Will stiffen things up nicely. Plus make an easily removable plate. Wasn't expecting the fab guy to ad the rounded plates around the shock tower. Sure makes it look better

I’m hoping Scott Amerson can do something similar with mine. Doesn’t have to be stock but better than what the PO did. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Holy hack job! Yeah I am going to be happy with mine when it's done. Just wish I already had it. This has taken so long. I am hoping to make Red Rocks but am really worried it isn't going to happen. My timeline is really short. Wit the final step of getting it on a Dyno & getting a Tune. At this point with all my changes. I don't know if the Tune I got from Outfront will even start my car. So really need to get it to the Tuner & on the Dyno. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Get to a class, nothing is better than melting metal to make one, and more frustrating. Maybe Golf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Mufflers are pretty easy to add, lucky a snail do tend to knock a bit of the engine noise down.

Yeah Speedhut should be understandable, I have some new in box if your in need and they are going to give you the long road to ship. You'll get to drive before I do. And then you can just replace the ones you need, back to me.

BTW the perfect size IC does exist it is just not in the format you are using. Air to Water solves your problem. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

I only stuck with a straight Air cooler to start with. I think I'll end up with air to water down the road. Just wasn't sure how much space I'd have & the thought od adding more piping in my engine bay just didn't sound like a good idea. Last thing I want to do is change anything now. Seems like every change I have made has cost me a month (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I was by the shop today. Here is my Exhaust which didn't have enough room for the resonator (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I don't think I will be sneaking up on anyone.

I also took one with it outside. Good to see the stance with everything in place. Well most the weight anyway. Still have the intercooler to finish

At the shop today. Flipping fabricator does great work but went totally off the rails with my intercooler. Pulled it back from him this morning. Guy had it 2 weeks & made the mount completely wrong. Not how I wanted it done at all. He did great work for my trunk cutout. Boxing it in & getting a plate made for it. That will be getting paint this following week. Just going to have to get someone else to make a mount for my intercooler where I want it. Just under my GT lid at the top. Not where it is currently mounted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) All you need to do is cut a hole in the firewall, add a tube section thru the car and out the passenger side head light bucket.

I see no issue with making that work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Pictures taken from Jan-Feb 1978 Issue of VW Greats

Sorry to see the plan was not executed to the envisioned design. Might be able to salvage the mount and move it up and over as the basis for the proper location and design.

Not a terrible place to put a water/air intercooler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

With your power level you can get away with the small one too!!!

(Not saying your not going to make a lot of power, just that you don't need a massive 700hp core...)
