Vorshlag added the MRS update to their blog. Hopefully that helps kick up the pre orders too.

FWIW my car with Weapons Grade's swap has functional push button start and AC working. Not sure how they did it though. They mentioned to me that they'll be using the MRS modules in the future too.

sweet!

ILLSMOQ · 01-26-2017, 09:55 PM

Shorties into 3" with v-bands?...are you doing that yourself? looks great!

Still mocking it up?...doesn't look like you've finished welding yet and it looks really tight towards the rear or the transmission. May have to clearance it a bit?

Took this pic before it was final welded. Fits great. Weapons Grade built my car and did this for me. Car has an LS3 525 with their headers and this exhaust.

Yeah the Vorshlag headers are why the front sway bar can't be used. Trying to decide how to move forward with the header solution. Weapons grade has said their header solution is ~$3000

I like the vorshlag headers, but really hoping to see a sway bar solution here very soon. I may wait on ordering headers until then. (Or go another direction for headers all together)

Get some power logs and call it a day.

Just this picture alone show the difference between Weapons Grade and Vorshlag. Look how much further back Vorshlag got the engine.

WGP:

Vorshlag:

Does anyone see any issue with leaning the top of the radiator way forward? (Other than hose routing)

Edit: Looked at WGP Headers. They are listed at $2000. Few hundred more than Vorshlags, which is quite a bit better than the $3k I saw quoted some time ago. Just not sure on how they will fit with the Vorshlag mounts.
