Exhaust isn’t completed in this picture. Both will exit out the back. Just built it up and over the rear axel until the body and box get installed. Then we can get exact fitment.

Ok so the customer called. Said he dropped his car off for check engine light diag. We ask where his keys are. He says in the car. I go out to the car and it’s locked. Ended up having to use a slim Jim to get in the car

idk ? My friends cousin bought a new v6 mustang, instantly started upgrading stuff and added a supercharger for autocross/ amature racing. Didn’t get a GT, because “he was ripping out all the suspension stuff anyway, and didn’t need the power due to the supercharger. ” dropped 6-8k to make it faster than a the 4-5k he would have spent for the GT. nobody could understand it.
