Did you do the custom exhaust stubs for looks only? I noticed the ones that come with the headders are small and don't fill the holes well but seem functional. you can see mine in my avatar.
One thing I noticed about my headders this weekend was it was quieter in the car at speed. Way less drone than the Supercups with cat bypass pipes. Probably just as loud outside but inside its less. weight savings off the rear was Major...

Matt- are you going to do the CF doors next? That was on my list to do to that car down the road - along with MOTEC and ITBs. From recollection, you'd drop 90 + pounds with the doors! ;-)

Yup, the light doors are a big savings. My gutted doors were 46 pounds total each. If yours have glass and frames then even more. My car with out ballast and 1/8th tank is only 2349 pounds.
Not much more for me to loose unless I start cutting out steel of the top and rear fenders. Not gonna do that as Im under weight for my class right now and had to add ballast.

As Rob knows, the current doors are partially gutted, no glass, stock frames. I have a spare set of doors, and I'm thinking about pulling the frames, doing a complete gut (as per Patrick Motorsports style), and stay with OEM skins.
I almost bought those CF doors that Thatcher had for sale.
As for ITBs? Maybe next winter.... the budget has already been blown, waaaay blown, for the current round of mods.

Well, it looks great. Looking forward to hearing a sound clip. I never could get a good clip of my car. I need a good digital recording device. Maybe this computer would work with a decent mic attached.
Mine is going back to Cervelli very soon for its custum short box. I can't wait for that. Oh and a few other goodies
Ill start a thread on that if I can get some pics of the process of putting everything together.
Lets hear that exhaust!!!!
