1969 Camaro SS build LS7 Speedtech HRE

[Motown 454]

It's definitely a little tight with that 3" pipe under there.

so on those Speedtech inner fenders, are you attaching the front part to them from your old inner fenders? If so would like to see the details of the work since I'm probably using the same.

here is the latest and greatest:


Speedtech subframe connectors are welded in. Created a channel to tuck the fuel lines into the connectors for a cleaner look.

Console is about ready to be welded in, pushed back 1/2" - original stock console will sit on top


Corsa mufflers showed up. These are their new 'muscle car' mufflers. Handmade in Ohio, made to order. They look small and will be pretty loud. If they're obnoxious sounding, I'm going to replace with Super 44 Flowmasters.

these mufflers are super fat! 6" thick! Causing me to either 1/sell the mufflers and go with the skinnier Borla XS (pictured on right) or 2/raise the floorboard 2 1/2" inches to accommodate for the larger muffler case. What would you do?

This is an example of what could be done, it wouldn't be as intricate, the floorboard would raise under the rear seat so it would't have an impact on leg room

Not much besides it's a new muffler that no one is using on muscle cars. Corsa is a respected brand so I wanted to try and be different but it doesnt look like the juice is worth the squeeze.

I would agree with you there. I went with the Borla S-Type and had no fitment issues.

Have any sounds clips?

I literally drove my car for the first time yesterday and that was around the block pretty much. I still need to get it tuned, which is happening next week. But this is an LS with those mufflers. I liked them as they are their middle of the road mufflers in that line. They make one that is quieter and then the Atak which is too loud for me.

Where are you at in the Bay Area? I used to live in the San Mateo area, but recently moved to El Dorado Hills.

[no_go nico]

Funny, I live in San Mateo looking to make a move to EDH

Some of those pics looked like San Mateo house styles haha. Looks like you are in the Parkside area. I lived in the village, but extremely happy that we made the move up here to EDH. A lot more space, things to do, etc. Tons of great drives around here in almost any direction, but 1:20 to Tahoe is a fun drive.

New seats from Recaro finally came in after 4 months.
down bars getting welded in

Looking good! If I were to do it all over again, I would have done what you did. Start with something that is already done and then add the goodies to modernize it. Body and paint took almost a year and it still needs to go back...

[no_go nico]

Firewall ready for paint. Going with a flat black in the engine bay.

Firewall looking good

I'm guessing that's the extreme front clip from speedtech?
