Is it usual to go under the diff? Btw apologies so long since I have owned a live axle car!! And yep, you are going to love changing the #8 plug the first time you do it….

I brought this setup off a mate for $400. So I just used it for now. Eventually I’ll go over diff. Under is a PITA.

Progress is good mmmkay

Under on live axle is a terrible idea but as you say it’s a temp thing.

Yeah engineering. But without blower. So aspirated.

Right now maintaining 10mm clearance is tuff. When I do tubs the rear section will be changed to over diff.

Hope its not loud lol

Varex mufflers. Nah I’m not too keen on them.

There will be ways around making it quieter which shouldn’t be too hard.

I reckon it will be loud, but there are ways to quieten it down to pass I put the Varex on the back of mine, good piece of kit actually, at least leaving a cruise or whatever you have the ability to quieten it down if the boys in blue are around. They do sound awful when they are shut though.

Starting to make some good progress on this now! Where’s the fuel tank going? Can you keep one pipe on each side all the way to the back and use 2 rear mufflers instead of a single twin in twin out one?

Using stock tank. So only outlet one side. Which I prefer anyways TBH.
