How did you run the piping with the stock cats? I even got the fvd piping to be able to use my stock setup but its not working that well

 

It's harder to explain than just to look closely at the pictures. Basically it runs a lot like the stock pipes, but doesn't exit at each bumper opening (because those are not there anymore) and just continues toward the center and exits there.

Thanks X another question for you lol sorry what ducting did you use one the front bumper? Seems like the gt3 plastic duct doesnt fit.

 

I'm still working in the details there, I ordered the third radiator kit there, for behind the center opening, I just need to figure out a smooth transition now.

On my car, I went with a Turbo front end rather then GT3. For my swap, I was able to just get turbo fender liners and all the bottom covers and it was a straight swap. I was not able to run the turbo ducts unless I wanted to swap out and make turo radiators fit. I had to make the stock ducts work. You really cant tell where its off unless I pointed it out.

 

Bump..

Got my car and bumpers back from paint. Now I just have to put them on.

First I thought I would take some pictures of the exhaust, without the heat shielding to get an idea of what everything looks like under there.







Then I put the heatshields back on. In these pictures you can see where I trimmed the black plastic to make the "vent's" in the bumper work.








....and the rear bumper is done!!!!!












Now Hopefully in the next few days I can get the front one done too! I ordered the 3rd radiator kit from Suncoast, so I have a little more work to do before that one goes on, but hopefully sooner than later.

Wowers!!!! Awesome pics! I just bought a misha rear bumper. Im in tbe middle of doing tbis job also. Hows the misha quality?

 

Nice job X looks great!!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys! The Misha bumpers have great quality, you just have to take your time and look for all the little "markings" in the fiberglass for where the mounting holes for the bumpers are, or plate frame holes, etc. You have to drill and cut those out to mount any OEM stuff. The only one I couldn't get right was the hole for the toe hook in the front, so I had it filled. I'm sure when I actually need to use that hook I will have bigger problems than not having a place to hook the tow strap on to. LOL

Awesome job so far Xander Looking forward to seeing the front.

 

Nice work Xander. Impressive exhaust installation.

 

Looks great. Thanks for sharing.

 

Looks really clean Xander. Look forward to seeing the front bumper installed.

 

Yeah man. I really commend you. I did this on my first '06 Carrera S. Prob not going to do it on the one I have now. But, on the exhaust, it seems that you might have unnecessarily gone out into the weeds on it. I mean, GMG Racing actually has an exhaust for this exact situation. I got it, put it on, and was done. It never set off a light or code, and was not insanely loud. Just a thought for anyone else looking at this. Only trying to help! Also, just for fun, note that my tag here was for 2008. Did this loooong ago.

 

Man where were you 3weeks ago lol
