I would love to buy your 500 engine stock exhaust from you when you upgrade your system. But I only want the stock down pipes from the manifold down to the y-pipe. Please drop me an e-mail if you looking to get rid of it. Thanks.

Teflon Coated surge tanks!!!

Got my surge tanks today from Rob at Needswings.com
They have been coated with Teflon inside and out, and they look and feel just like the surface of a frying pan. Very satisfied

I can see this is high end work. This should reduce the intake air temperature significantly. I dig the coordinating colors with the cars paint scheme. Way to go khelawanb

Thank you bro! I'm very happy with it, and it was my first purchase for 2011. Money well spent
Trying to keep everything matching. My supercharger was removed as well, and I'm trying to clean that up a bit. Should have it back together in a week or two.

Would you leave him alone so he can get to putting all that goodness back on his engine. LOL

Impatiently waiting for pics.

BTW, let me know when you want me to come back out there and get the rest of the stuff buttoned up. Not that it'll be any warmer there than here but at least there's a good chance the women only look large as they're wearing lots of layers vs women here having the built-in year-round insulation.
