Time for plan C

87k mile from a private seller. What a neat guy - 2 C2s, 1 C3, 1 C5, a 70 Chevelle (blown, of course), a Shelby Daytona (plastic), and on an on.... had a nice 4 hour drive (google, are you on crack? 6 hours?).... what was weird is it's like Google didn't want me to see the city center of Lewiston Idaho - it directed me everywhere but through the center of town.... other then that, it was a nice day for a drive...
I spent some time trying to convince him to do Optima with the Shelby....

and onward
step one, remove rack

step two, install adapters

step three, realize you're missing o-rings

step four through six.... look for o-rings, give up, order o-rings online..
step seven admire hole

and least they look pretty there on the bench

what the next sidepipe headers will look like

what the next sidepipe headers will look like

those look nice! I have never seen the primaries "X" piped like that. Is there a collector that bolts to the flange or four individual tubes going to the side pipe itself?

yes, these are for an AC Cobra (thus, there will be some differences) - but the general shape and idea is here

Came thru for me.

Checked today and they finally came thru. I'll blame it on my connection in Gulf Port Mississippi. Sitting in Gulfstream Alabama now .

And they do look great . Something like that might would work on the C4 but will I love the look , I like my noise out behind me . My ears ring all the time now . I don't need to make it louder .

Today's news, no pictures. I sent the wheels back to Apex. To trade them for a wider front and a 19" rear. I really wanted the 18s around it but they simply don't have the tire selection available now.... The fronts, I didn't like the offset so basically I'm using a rear "stock Corvette" dimension for the front - which will give me a 295 front tire and 325 rear. Will still need to modify the front flares but not as drastic - add 1/2" or so per side.

Next up, install the gears, port EFI and new sidepipes. along with everything else I'm doing. Will be a busy off-season but hopefully next year I'll meet my goal of being competitive....

and, I was 'competitive' this year and did pretty well for a wet-behind-the-ears-rookie. What I did do this year was make some really good acquaintances who are really helping behind the scenes....
