I can't believe it but the UPS man has already dropped off the turbo hoses and the exhaust tubing I ordered on Tuesday. Fast shipping! The turbo hose was just a matter of slipping it in place. I still need to buy a couple more clamps. As for the exhaust, I sectioned the two U bends into different angles I needed to bring the exhaust out the original opening in the side panel. About two hours of cutting, grinding, tack weld, cut, grind, tack weld (you get the picture) and I finally had something that would work. I have one more item to complete. I need to build a bracket for the belt tensioner as the original was attached to the exhaust spacer. Maybe smoke and whistle tomorrow! I'd be interested in hearing what everyone thinks I should do for the stack. Leave it as it is now, taller, tip out, chromed, etc. What should I do?
