Default speedcraft almost done (additional pictures and comments)

I took some pictures today of the car. Only thing left is the fuel pump and some of the vacuum lines, along with the gauge installation.

According to the mechanic, everything went pretty smoothly, and he believes that it is a very good kit. The only thing he said he would do differently would be the use of different piping, say aluminum to save some weight. And the main thing that I kind of had a gripe with is the fact that the downpipe does not match up with the CAT....which you will see in my pictures.
That will just be an extra cost for the muffler shop to impose upon my bill.

other than that...looks great...and Ill keep the forum posted.

That's strange, looks like they used the wrong flange. The flange on the header/manifold should have two spring loaded bolts that allow movement of the ball joint, while the post-cat flange should be a solid-mount 3 bolt pattern.

Good luck, seems like it's coming together.
