Just started working on the headers yesterday, should take a while though as the shop has been busy with Customer projects.

I am building a 2" manifold into a 3" collector with 3" Xpipes and for the time being im going to put knock off American offroad mufflers.

Will keep you updated for sure.

Hey customer projects are a good thing. Not every can say they have an overload of projects in their shop.

Have another guy on a lightning forum offer to make me some headers too but he hasnt gotten back to me yet.

Finaly after alot of work at the shop and alot of cutting and welding.. The longtubes are complete and ready.

Underside Passenger side :

The long tube is a 2" manifold tubes into a 3" collector into a 3" dual in/out magna flow mufler and tips exiting under the passenger (Like the lightning )

Working now on the Driveshaft ( Custom ) and should take 3 days.

and in the mean time is to wait for the Core shifter and the Harness to arrive ( End of this week ) and should crank her up for the first time.

All wiring to stock Cluster is not yet planned and have no clue on how to do that up..

I will give it a try, If not I looks like a good universal set of Tacho, Speedo, fuel level and oil temp will be hooked up.. as the rest of the gauges will be displayed via a samsung pad device..

All ideas and comments are welcomed.

Thanks guys,

I am ready to help all of you out on your project but what I recommend is to wait for me to finish it off and rive my truck and throttle it out and see if there are any flaws to fix out.

There was a nice custom step I made on fitting the Hydraulic clutch onto the tr6060 master cylinder.. unfortunately I was very stressed and couldn't take any pictures.

Headers look great. Cant wait to throw some on my engine. Looks like all the pieces are coming together nicely.

You have plans to throw it on the dyno after all the bugs are worked out?

Definitely, I'd dyno tune it as she has all the boltons a GT500 can have.
