[QUOTE="silverpsd_06, post: 200729, member: 1011"] First one you can tell comes really close to the shock mount has very little space in between it and the shock tower. There is a tab that should hold the splash guard in that i removed to make the pipe fit in there. It is resting on the frame on pretty hard figured it wouldn't be that much of a problem since it does not rattle and by the time it does wear a hole in it it will probably be rusted to hell anyways... Second one pretty much shows the nasty oil leak i have from milling my own flanges out for the feed, will be fixing it tomorrow just missed a touch of the weld with the torch. Third just more of the same kinda showing how it was finagled in there.. Fourth is the underside it missed the tranny lines by a good distance but had to sacrifice some of the heat shield to get it there does not seem to rattle at all suprisingly but still needs some finalizing. Had to relocate the batteries and windshield washer fluid so the two lines you see are the feed to the starter and exciter wire, then the others are in the heater hose the fluid feed, washer motor electrical, and the two wires that go to the starter relay at the front. I also need to cut all the damn zip ties. The grounds were re-routed to their respective sides and connected from the batteries to the frame then from the motor to the frame. Everything really need just finishing up, but from the driving i have done with it its incredible how much of a difference just normal driving is seeming to be less of a strain on the motor almost no haze or smoke while running down the road only smokes til the small charger lights on the moderate tunes which is right around 1500-1600 when it starts to come on. More aggressive tunes it comes on much quicker along with the atmosphere just can't seem to push it too hard or it blows boots like mad. Im impressed to say the least with just how it drives better and cleaner. So far drive pressures sit pretty consistently 2-3 lbs over what the boost is which seems to be acceptable. Cruising temps are sitting right around 700 with a 6" lift and 37" tires on a crew cab, much better than the 900-1100 before. Anything else you guys would like to know id be more than happy to take pics or whatever.. [/QUOTE]
