Better than blowing a hole through the block though.
And you're still faster with E20 than the guy that's tuned for 93 only.

Finished removing the stock fuel lines. Took longer than expected due to the fact some clamp bolts were most definitely installed before the body was installed. So it took some unique finagle skills.
Got the side tubes mocked up. It installs with T bolts which were impossible to use without dropping inside the frame. After the 10th cuss session I tacked them in place.
With the side tubes in places I can now cut up the primaries and reconfigure them into a 4in1 collector inside the fender to receive the 3in down pipe from the turbo

Clearance issues, and appearance issues. Taking the 3in straight down and 90 into the 4 in side pipes would certainly be way easier. And its plan B. However doing that will make them the lowest point on the car, even the oil pan. Car sits very low.
The sidepipes have flex joints where mounted to the frame. Im also using a bushing from barnes and some dom to make a vertical turbo brace (assist with downward weight). The exhaust headers to t4 flange will have a downward then upward sweep along the firewall (ish). My plan is to put a flex joint between the header and the turbo flange.

Very excitedly planned on cutting and welding today. But instead had a shit day. Dropping everything. Stumbling. Trripping. Missing the hole. Etc.
So instead of getting anything project worthy done I organized and cleaned for six hours. Installed some under shelf drawers. Swept. Etc.
Tomorrow if all goes well I will cut the primary tubes and start trying to make a 4-1 collector in the fender well at the frame rail. I plan to try and use the pipe from each header to make my 90s.

Took no time at all. Not bad I think. All pieces are less than a true 90. Now to disassemble and it ready for tack and weld.

Damn. Way too rusty.
I think I’m going to spend this week refreshing every night before welding up the tubes as I only get one shot. Haha
