Wow this car has been gone since JUlY!?!?!?!???

You could have done the work in the garage and been done buy now, when will it come back?

Buy the way I think you should have went 8.8 if your planning on making big power, you'll always want more.

yeah i just talked to him via E-mail about some stuff. He called the other night too, but it was really late, poor guy works over 12 hour days usually, a good problem to have I guess. My car would have been done by now, but I just can't seem to quit ordering stuff for it! I think I'm done now tho, I know he was trying to deliver together, but next time I talk with him I'll see how we're looking. If yours is done sooner than mine I may just have to go down there and buy a car hauler to bring mine back myself..

No, It has been gone since October.

dude, they have had the car a freaking long time.
I'm assuming that you are getting a nice discount causing the pace to be slow.

Well, there are several factors causing the pace to be slow.

1. I am getting a good deal on all the parts and labor.

2. Even with the good deal, It is still going to cost me out the ass because I am getting so much stuff done at once, so I told him to take his time so I can make sure I have the money when it's done.

3. I have my heart set on a great exhaust set up. I want stainless steel longtube headers and stainless steel exhaust to go with it. Problem with that is... nobody had made stainless steel longtube headers for the 4.0 yet. StainlessWorks is making them now, and they are using my car... at THR... to make them. Evidently they have had some fit and finish issues with the Longtubes matting up with the x-pipe. So that is what we are waiting on right now.

Don't worry he's had mine for a year now because I keep adding parts to it. Might as well do it right is what I always say!

Actually I will probably be going to another shop. My car's had three different things come undone. I cant go into details as of yet but if you have an email address, I'll give you headsup.

Why stainless steel? Have you thought about the muffler/exhaust? The 4.0L is so quiet compared to the 3.8L

I am having StainlessWorks do the entire exhaust. Longtubes, x-pipe, axle back. Dual exhaust of course.

I am not really worried about it sounding loud. I would rather it sound quiet than loud and raspy. The P1SC will produce enough noise alone.

Couldn't you have done the D1 upgrade for 300? You don't want raspy but your doing an X pipe

The P1 will be more than enough for what I want. This isn't my daily driver, and I'm not trying to build an all out race car. Just something to have fun in on a nice sunny day. I believe 350-380rwhp should do just the trick.

Eh, well all the v6 guys are kicking them self because they didn't go with the D1 upgrade.

[86sleeper]

raspy totally depends on mufflers and cats.
i have an x-pipe and my car is pretty darn quiet.

Jeff, on the custom headers, what is making it a difficult job? I haven't seen teh under carriage of the newer v6's and i'm not sure if there is a lot of crap to plumb around.

I've never heard an even fire v6 that wasn't raspy with an x pipe.

Update:

They will be receiving another x-pipe from StainlessWorks tomorrow. This will be the third x-pipe they have tried to get the fit perfect. Keep in mind, this is a one-off exhaust set-up right now, but after they get mine done StainlessWorks will be putting their 4.0 Longtube exhaust set-up on the market.

Brian said that as long as the x-pipe fits tomorrow... they will finish the exhaust, dyno and tune it again, then install the supercharger and gears... then finish with a final dyno tune.
