Another update and more pics.

This was just a bit of an at shot really. I was showing the scoop and bolt pattern, and only noticed the wheel reflection later!



Installed the dash, windscreen, squirters, demisters. Interior is looking pretty smart I reckon.



These are the specially modified euro cats to fit my setup.



The exhaust installed. 2-1/2" 304 stainless. I've used permatex copper for gaskets for now. I'm getting stainless gaskets made to match the custom flanges, but that might be a few weeks off.



The Pace427 accommodates undercar exhaust via a channel under the door sills. This is looking forward from the passenger rear. I've got this exhaust sitting low in the space, because at 2.5" it would fill the space a bit tightly and the level it is now is still about 10mm above the underside anyway. I think this will help reduce the heat into the cabin. Plus the cavity is lined with aluminised fibre cloth. And there is another air pocket. Then the cabin is lined with Dynamat. And carpet. Show be ok!



The mufflers fill the rear space. Now you see why I went overboard with the heat shielding. Can't hurt.



Rear wheel arches filled with another strip of aluminium to the body.



And finally lined with closed cell foam mat to reduce road noise and stone dents inside.
