    If you Drag Race, PLEASE weld your axle tubes.

    Yep, three plugs per side in the "meatiest" parts. Would be a real chore to do with the housing in the car, but probably could be done. You'd want to remove all the guts too, lots of shavings from drilling and tapping. Just drill and tap until the plugs torque down flush.

    If you Drag Race, PLEASE weld your axle tubes.

    I wasn't able to wait any longer for the new BMR brace, so I went ahead and solved the axle rotation issue at least by improving on the bolt/pinning method described earlier in the thread. I used 3 1/4" Unbrako ASTM-A574 Dry Seal NPT plugs per tube. These are stronger than Gr. 8 hardware...

    What's happening with this? Is it just part of the Watts link setup?

    piston to valve clearance

    If cams are stock, Coyotes are supposedly non-interference engines. Turning it over by hand you'll find out soon enough without risking damage. Should also be able to pull the trans and leave the converter on the flexplate. Little messy though.

    do you remove your cats ?

    For after-cat X's I've read the most complaints about the FRPP. These are making me consider the Corsa version, which is more money, but fittment is supposed to be good and it includes the clamps. These along with the even more expensive JPC are the only choices that keep everything 2 3/4"...

    do you remove your cats ?

    Anyone try the new stainless mid-pipes from Lethal/JBA that have removable cat delete sections? They might be a good solution for the price. If it's too loud, swap the factory cats back in. I'd like to hear in there's any fittment/leak issues with them first though.

    Anyone running the Edelbrock E-force kit on 2011-12?

    What do you have for mufflers? I'm planning on keeping the stockers, and don't want loud, just wan't to let it breathe and not worry about cat problems. If the 15880 can be had for under 6G I might go that route, otherwise I think a 1589 can be pieced together cheaper. I'd like to keep the...

    Anyone running the Edelbrock E-force kit on 2011-12?

    Nice to hear good things about the E-Force. They don't seem to be as popular as some of the other kits, at least not yet. I think it's easily the best set-up for a stock motor. Anybody see a price advertised for the 15880 kit? This is the same as the 1588 street legal model, but...
