I'm long past being in trouble. After the motor is done I have to stop for a while. I have so much debt now because of this car!

Yours come out great....congrats. Any plans on doing a tune & dyno to see what gains, if any come out of this?....or would that be a waste & you're just gonna wait until the rebuild?

Do you mean make more for others? We talked about that but it was so tight in many places he would have a very hard time making them to ship. He will gladly make more for people if they want to come to his shop. I could come up and do the EVAP and rear end mods while he did the exhaust.
He might be willing to make another one up with smaller (~2.5") pipe using my car but you would have to get a local exhaust shop to make the hangers and changes here and there. Since my car has the turbos and down pipes the first part would need changes to fit the oem cats and we're not exactly sure where they would sit.
If he could get an N/A test car there is a better chance.

Oh yeah, you are right!
There was another but he just put the mufflers below the valance and left the EVAP stuff. It didn't look very good IMO.
No plans to tune it now. I don't want to waste a few hundred bucks on a dyno tune just for a month. The new motor should be done and installed in the next month or so. I'm waiting on the heads to get finished right now.

Update 2/21:
Found a problem with how I modified the fuel evap system. That system is used to purge and vent the fuel tank. I figured since the oem fuel cap is a venting cap everything would be fine. Well it is, except for when you are trying to get gas! There is no way for the air in the tank to vent when the filler line is full of fuel. So it takes 20 minutes to fill up your gas tank. We are going to do one of two things. I'm either going to put another line that goes up to a valve I can open or if it will fit we are going to run a vent line up to the top part of the filler line so it can breathe. I'll keep you updated.
