If you are talking about the front calipers/pads. I have those on my car. It did make a HUGE difference in braking. I likely will launch those at some point. I was a major upgrade and brake fade with spirited driving was much better, especially in the rear as the fronts did a much better job. I remember sourcing some performance pads with better bite. Seems like there was some modifications to the backing plates too. That's my memory from a long time ago though.

I would be in for something. My son has connections with a printing company if that is needed and has previously done their design work. I think he played around with the logo when the last run was done. I'll check on that. If the vector can be found that would certainly make it easier.

Do NOT use silicone on NPT threads. Teflon tape, paste or both. Get something decent if you don't have it already. On the tape, wrap opposite of what you would think initially so it lays it down rather than bunching up when threaded together. Thicker higher quality tape does work better and there are stainless specific formulas when needed.

Those look nice. Should make routing much cleaner. Might want to look a nylon too?? I have some parts printed in nylon that seem solid. I think nylon is harder to print. We have a printer and JD does as well if we can get time to run it. JD's boys might be up for the challenge.

Nice Omar! You down here for a few days?

Some printed brackets would be sweet. I have that roll flare tool as well as a hydraulic bender and another that does most of the other ends.

Looking good Omar! The new parts are pretty... If you have a need, I have the roll flare tool to do hard AN lines. It works quite well with the sleeve and nut to go hard lines.

Nice Omar! Looking good!

What do you need machined on that?

@NewZed Those Holley covers are way cleaner than the stock covers with Gen 4 coils. Aside from the covers themselves looking better, no coil brackets. The coils attach directly to the valve covers, so lighter and looks much better. Thanks for posting this up on the baffle, I am going to look into it on my Jeep. Your build is looking great!

Here are a couple of links that may be of interest. https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/icons/news/story?id=3060814 https://buildingspeed.org/2014/04/25/a-nascar-splitter-inspired-kayak/ https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/autocrossing-and-roadracing/3459143-tegris-and-splitters.html

I have been looking at using Tegris for my cars splitter. Supposed to be much more durable than carbon and less expensive. I'll see if I can find my bookmarks on it. I think it's used on the NASCAR splitters.

Yes looking great. She's a beauty! Love how the color turned out.

Looking really nice Omar! 👍

Overall noise level "might" be higher than a more restricted or a chambered muffler but I much prefer the sound. I find it isn't opjectionable low RPM but a bit of bark when you step into the throttle and no drone/resonance. On the big LS in my JK where it's just a little loud a resonator should take care of it. Luckily there is more room to work with under there. With a turbo on the Duramax one muffler is enough.

Maybe one of these then? https://www.dynomax.com/mufflers?muffler_body_length=121 The angle core deadens sounds a bit http://tuning.ua/en/sound I'm looking at doing something like this but it will be where the spare tire was exiting below the plate. https://www.borla.com/products/proxs-universal-muffler-400286

I don't think the Aero turbine will fit. They are long.

The super turbo is chambered with the radius bends to improve flow like 5th one down in that link. Still chambered still resonates every one I've heard. https://www.dynomax.com/mufflers/super-turbo-mufflers

I have this on my truck and Jeep. https://aeroexhaust.com/c-1389207-mufflers-aero-turbinexl.html I love how it works on the Truck in 4". JK is 3.5" and just a little loud (Colton likes the noise - kids 🙄) I'm going to add a small resonator when it goes back together. On my Z I'll do a SS Borla or equivalent dual in dual out (X in the middle of the muffler) if I can make it fit. Look for something with a core like a Borla. So on this page any except the chambered one (5th one down) https://www.dynomax.com/mufflers/ A lot of muscle car guys like the deep rumbly sound of a flowmaster but that resonance is horrible. My JK has plenty rumble and none of the resonance.

Yes you want straight through but a good muffler. IMO the Borla is one of the best sounding but they are spendy. I like a more European sound if that makes sense. The drone I mentioned when we drove your car is the chambered muffler. That resonance drives me crazy and literally gives me a headache.

@ZetsazSo on my phone will be quick. Don't get a turbo style muffler. Send that one back or cancel if you can. Get a Borla/Dynomax type. The turbo style is what is giving your resonance/droning.

I have an AC hose crimp set should that need arise.

If you are exploring alternative PVC sources look at DWV fittings (drain waste and vent). Actually central vacuum fittings might be a possibility as they are thinner (lighter) and actually 2" rather than iron pipe sizes. There are a few defroster duct options that have angled inlets.

I was looking at ducts similar to some of these or equivalents. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/aircraft_parts/ap/menus/ap/ducting.html

If you can get some defroster ducts that enter from the side or as much angled over as you can. Better hoses would be a good idea too.
