holy crap! I never knew your car was that low. 3'' pipe should be no problem with a slight raise in the suspension. Ive been wanting a dual exhaust, and that routing you have looks perfect.

Yeah the ride height is a large problem for clearance with dual 3". I need to raise it - and plan on raising it - but it just looks so good.

What coilovers are you on?

DustinS · 08-06-2018, 01:56 PM

Fortune Auto 500.

all4spl · 08-06-2018, 02:02 PM

I thought I saw that those coilovers don't go as low as others? But clearly you're having an issue going too low haha

DustinS · 08-07-2018, 04:35 PM

Moved the gauges. Still not the best oil pressure.

Doesn't seem to bad. Mine at warm idle is right at 30psi. Might be a smidge on the low side.

Its not hard to add up to that in these swaps.
Figure $6-12k for a good engine/trans combo (depending on how wild or new).
$6k for motec and harness.
$2k in mounts and headers.
Driveshaft at 500-700
Sensors, gauges, hoses, bolts, AC lines, wiring bits, misc. probably 500-1000.
