What A/C compressor and bracket is that?
The accessory brackets are ICTBillet (.com) Not amazing, but good enough for me!
Car is currently at Maximum PSI getting the FMIC and charge pipe tig'd. My aluminum welding skills are still not good enough.

I got the first run on the 12". Been in contact with them for about 4 months on this. If you email them, they'll get back to you and let you know if they have any remaining.
My TR6060 is from a 2011 Camaro SS.
For proper fitment there is some "clearance" required with a BFH. No saw/cutting required.

Been a couple minutes since my last update. Things happened and then things happened but long story short, the final detailed bits have gotten farmed out to NJ.

Love this build!
Diving in at the shallow end!
This isn't pretty, nor easy. I watched a guy on TV do some metal forging. Gosh.. swinging a hammer that may times is hard work! But I was kinda able to shape a 4" down-pipe in to a dual 3" collector. I'm going run dual 3" after the down-pipe to try and keep things quite. I have two pair of 3" mufflers that I plan to jam under the car as best I can.

You can also keep the piece longer, shove the area you need re-profiled into a press and press it to the rough shape, then you'll spend a lot less time with a hammer doing the final shaping. You can press it if it's the final length too just need to be careful it doesn't shoot out of the press
Nice work so far, very cool swap
That's basically what I did right before tacking the two together. I used the table top vice a lot with this piece. Doubled as an anvil.

Yes! It's been a long two years. Hopefully there are not many more up hill battles. I'd like to start driving this car. =)

Still working out the bugs, but at lease we're going forwards more often than backwards. I'm adding better wiring to the Walbro 450. Seems to be running out up top but I don't think it should be maxing out the pump. Leaving out lots of details, but that's okay. It runs!
