2.5" back to 3" Greddy Exhaust. I may switch to 3" after it clear the subframe and everything in the future, but for right now I have the 2.5" on hand and the welding material for it.

And you're saying there is no room to put a 3" vband on the header itself? I might need to see a picture to see how close it is to the steering shaft like youre saying.

DustinS · 04-26-2017, 02:08 PM

I'll get the tape measure out and try and get better pictures if weather permits. If not, it may be tomorrow before I can get under the car.

edit: To clarify, Passenger side can fit whatever you want. TONS of room. The way the driver side header exits, it is extremely tight and not even enough space for a smooth 2.5" bend without a weird bend. I'll probably just get a video to try and show it better.

all4spl · 04-26-2017, 04:31 PM

I'm wondering if this is a better option

You can either have 1 7/8 and 2.5" collector or 1 3/4 and 3" collector with possibly no fitment issues as we all know corvettes have little to no room.

all4spl · 04-26-2017, 04:32 PM

and it looks like you wouldn't have any issues with plug wires on the C6 blackhearts.

DustinS · 04-26-2017, 04:48 PM

Yes I think those would be a good set to go with.

all4spl · 04-26-2017, 05:53 PM

a bit more expensive though haha I'm interested in seeing what you come up with.

DustinS · 04-27-2017, 12:27 PM

Storming so I only got a little bit done last night. Wrapped the passenger side manifold. That was a nightmare. Assembled the fuel rails, and the pressure regulator.

Well after drawing up a template for the Clutch Master adapter, I went ahead and ordered the Rywire one. Looked close enough to me and a few friends I trust. Guess we will find out here in a bit.

If it doesn't fit just right you can machine aluminum with a router. I made a adapter for a Wilwood master cylinder for my FRS to get rid of the power brakes.

DustinS · 04-27-2017, 04:51 PM

That was the plan. Slot the holes a bit if it doesn't fit. If it isn't anywhere close, I will just have a friend machine one up. How does the car do without the booster?

all4spl · 04-27-2017, 05:12 PM

how does the brake booster delete work? Do you still have abs? I'm interested in doing this.

all4spl · 04-27-2017, 05:50 PM

also it looks like the CX racing kit wont work with the sway bar either. according to @Ryaquinn anyways.

Sportsguy83 · 04-27-2017, 06:54 PM

@Amir Ghadiri's car was used to design the CX racing kit, perhaps he could clarify about the swaybar fitment?

This is the only picture I could find on his journal that shows the swaybar..
