that tube is pressed in, not sure I could get it to seal if I were able to get it out. I'm just wondering what other (original) stock ones look like. Most replies seem to state that it is the correct one.
I wasnt super proud with the way the gusset turned out, but I figure the show must go on.

nothing to do with the conversion, just replacing the PS pump (old one groaned really bad all the time) and the inlet tube is very different.

here's this week's video. We made a lot of progress, I also started shooting a video for the hydroboost installation, but I'll put that all together in 1 video. I need some help with the powersteering pump, see the end of the video... let me know if you have any feedback or a correct part number. @ 9:15 http://youtu.be/DdBYmSWSvkE

Gavin...that THDP will fit like a glove. I'm fairly certain that puck won't control boost with that 6265. Jason sells a biggie puck. Call and ask him if it'll fit that THDP. You may have to break out the die grinder and clearance the inside of the pipe so it swings freely. On a sidenote, I heard Jason was in an ATV accident. If that's true...he may not be back at the shop just yet.
Yeah I had a discussion about that with Brian, I really dont want to use an external gate. I thought this THDP had a larger than stock puck, but I dont know what it will take either. (I imagine now that I have everything apart I can measure it... not sure why I hadnt thought of that yet.) I also heard about jason being hurt, hopefully he's ok.

I'm only up to #3 but my question would be:
Does Barb? have a passport? How much to come up here and clean engine parts? A keeper!
Or down to Texas! Will provide room and board!
Can't have her, she's also my crew chief, lawyer, and shooting partner (she runs an AK like it owes her money).

I've heard that the test pipe is about 13" long, which means the old ATR pitbull muffler SHOULD fit, it would probably require a captured bolt to be in the flange before its welded to the muffler. I already have the flange from RJC to try it... I'll fab it up after I get the exhaust purchased and hung. it probably wont be "track-side removable" but I doubt I'll care. (as Scoobum keeps reminding me, the car will be plenty fast)

what the crap is going on with that thing? is it a cut up FWD crossover?

Yeah that is the system that I'm planning on, I'm trying to really get rid of the drone.
I had a cobbled up 3" single that dumped at the axle. It was part of an ATR single shot and had an ATR 3" muffler, and it droned like crazy. Fun when I was younger, but now I couldnt handle driving the car for more than 30minutes.
So an idea that I had was to weld a flange to the ATR muffler and use it to replace the "test pipe" basically adding a muffler to the system. It might help, it might make it worse. It will probably add some backpressure, but probably not enough for me to care since I think we'll very easily meet our targets for the car's performance. After its all together I might try to buy a used test pipe and do a side by side comparison... now that I think about it, it may make sense to buy the test pipe first to build my muffler-test-pipe to the right dimensions.

I would check with classic tube and inline tube for the lines, they must have made some up by now.
Good call, inline tube is close enough that I can try to shoot over there at lunch, they have them for $50 and classic tube has them for $69.
I've run the PTE SLIC on my white TR. About the only complaint I have with it is that on one side you use the stock bracket and the other side has an aluminum bracket. It shakes a bit hanging out there. Also, you'll have to cut there up pipe to get it sit down enough to clear the hood insulation.
When it's time, I'm going with a front mount from RJC for the Gray Ghost. Every once in a while, one will pop up for sale, usually when you don't have the money or if you do have the money, someone beats you to it.
Exactly dude, I catch a FMIC every now and then, but they all sold within 20min (seems like). Since thats the first knock I've heard on the PTE SLIC... I think I'm sold on the FM.

I agree, I would only consider an RJC or an older PTE FMIC. I also intend to stay away from the imported IC cores and exhausts. I am sold on RJC. I'm struggling to find a reason to spend an extra $100 for a PTE SLIC.
I already have a Terry Houston DP, its ceramic coated and has been good for me. It will go back in, likely with the 3" RJC stock location exhaust.
Before I put the engine back in, does anyone know where a guy can get the trans cooler hard lines? Mine were pinched and I replaced with a pair of -6 hoses, but I'd like to bring the hard lines back into the game since they fit so much better.
Yeah I think I'm ready to take the next step... I can do a video of the hydro boost install, I've already got the powermaster out. It might be a while in order to include the power steering pump installation.. . but thats a good point since this is a popular swap these days. I've been considering using the cadillac master cylinder since its shorter and will clear a larger P/S reservoir.... which allows you to run two returns to the reservoir instead of T-fittings (less joints=less leaks)
You guys feel free to point out any other videos I should do based on this stage of the game, and I'll try to make it happen. I'm considering that NVU dash from the other board... I think that would be a good one. I really want to clean up the interior, I'm sick of boxes and gizmos all over the place.
Here's some install videos I'll consider:
RJC 3" exhaust
HR rear sway bar
hydroboost
headliner
MAYBE NVU dash/interior rehab

Not sure who makes them but fullthrottle sells roller cams. The one that has peaked my interest is the 210/215
