Nice Vette... I spy a G8!



Did you do build a garage at the same time as the car?

It looks like it went from rough framing to drywall and doors!

Pass through garage on the left side with doors on both sides?

How'd you hook the sidepipes up to the LS? I have the Hooker pipes for SBC's, but the headers don't even come close to mating up with the LS.

Can't wait to see your's finished.

No love for the sidepipe question?

[FlyDoc]

nice build, want to see how your headlights turn out.
I hope you are planning on lowering it.

Eric- I believe his are custom... no one makes LS sidepipe headers yet. I think Josh at custom image was planning on making some but I havent seen any production ones.
Look into the big block hooker sidepipe headers. The primaries will be closer to the LS flange compared to the SBC headers

i am running hedman block hugger headers with a 3" collector into 90* pointing out to the side then a 3" to 4" reducer into a 4" 90* in to the chrome 4inch pipe
