  1. I ran Dynomax (aka. Walker) oval mufflers like these (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wlk-17283/overview/) with both the x-pipe and h-pipe. No resonators. These were run on my '70 Nova with a GM 572 crate engine (I really miss that old girl).
  2. I've used both the x-pipe and h-pipe exhaust configurations. From a sound standpoint (using the same mufflers), the h-pipe gave more of a deep, throaty tone and the x-pipe more of a raspy, gurgly tone. The h-pipe configuration was MUCH easier to install/remove, especially if you install a flange in the crossover tube.
  3. Thanks for posting the JCI header pics. In the past I've used Jet-Hot to have my headers coated. For a pair of big-block chevy long tube headers they charged me $350 plus shipping, but that was ~6 years ago. I've seen pricing from other companies from $250-$400. So not cheap no matter who you choose, but between the great appearance and especially the under-hood heat reduction (coated outside AND inside) it's worth the coin.
  4. Subscribed and looking forward to following your progress. I have a 260Z and am following a similar plan. Question: Do you happen to have a pic of the JCI headers you can post? I'm trying to decide between the JTR headers (http://jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Parts_DAT-Z_LS1-Headers.html) and the JCI and would like to see the major differences between the two (with the exception of the primary tube sizes). Thanks, Dan
  5. Thanks for the clutch/throwout bearing info. I know an auto will be an easier install, but a manual trans will be so much more fun to drive.... I've been on the lookout for a used/rebuildable T56 for the past few months, but so far no luck. What are your plans for the engine harness/ECM?
  6. First off, what an OUTSTANDING BUILD!!! I'm new here, but have been lurking for a while. I'm still in the "research" phase of my 260z/LS2 build and your thread has given me tons of great info. When my wife starts complaining about the $$$$ I'm spending, I'm going to point her to your thread to show how bad it could've been. I'm still on the fence whether to go with an auto or manual, but can you explain where shimming is necessary with the T56? I have experience rebuilding/installing Muncie's and TKO 5-speeds, but have never messed with a T56. Keep up the GREAT WORK! Dan
