Ryan consider wrapping the pipes with heat wrapping where ever they come close to your suspension bushings. I had to replace minne twice becasue the heat coming off the pipes pretty much melted my bushings, the heat wrap seems to have solved the problem though. Not only did it cost me new bushings and labor but also new tires becasue it destroyed my alignment.

wow... glad to see that Mike stepped up and took care of you. The setup looks amazing, I'll have to make a road trip from jax just to see it.

Who do you have lined up for the paint/body work?

Looks KILLER- Definitely make sure the new rims are going to clear the fenders correctly, before you put brand new paint on it!
Also, get a new timing belt heatshield made by Mike, so I can pick up the old one pls!*
The new manifolds are definitely SHOW QUALITY; I like how they wrap around the engine!

It may look like ***, but to anyone that has used it and wrapped it correctly will tell you it is one of the best ways to contain heat that there is. I can literally put my hand on my downpipe after the car is warmed up and has been boosted without getting burned, no joke.
