That sounds bad ass af. I’m planning on doing long tube pypes and x pipe in the future with a straight pipe from there. I can imagine that it would be a hell of a lot better.
If I’m ever in Alabama I’ll hit you up but so far I can’t afford anything other than this damn car lmao

Lol, yea it's easy to break the bank. As for the straight pipes. I haven't heard them with long tubes and x pipe before. I'm curious if it sounds good. I had some FlowMaster American Thunders on mine originally. They sucked with H pipe setup. I was amazed at how much difference there was with a different and less restrictive muffler. The pypes pipe bomb exhaust converts to a mid muffler straight through design from the flowmaster axleback chambered style.

I just noticed I went past your questions while looking through my stuff lol, my bad.

I’m not too sure about warranty or mileage. But the treadwear is pretty high so they shouldn’t wear downbad.

I do have 4.10s and second is somewhat useable on the shorter stuff but third definitely needs full throttle commitment.

My next step is long tubes, x pipe, and 1 piece to max my bolt on powerness. It definetly help for sure. I also loosened up the rear by putting a softer front sway bar on and a stiffer one on the rear. Worse comes to worse I’ll just pump up tire pressure like no tomorrow.

Update
Dropped off rear end today to be repaired. Should be able to drop the fuel tank sometime next week to check everything out. Also traded a coworker for a Sparco seat for one of my momos. It fits me Perfectly! And is blue which is my favorite color haha. Mismatched seats ftw
no worries, thx for reply

Rear end is back and the axle tubes are fully welded. super happy with the work. I don't think I can afford to grab an axle tube brace yet but I think it should be fine how it is for now. Once I plan on adding more power I'll throw one on first
I agree with rocketcar. Pics pls

Edit:
Also, I didn't know about that hydra mat. That is cool.

It’s 160$ for the Mat and from my research it should work great. We’ll see how fitment is soon. Also the schedule and new rules for the just drift limited series is out! April 22nd at balcony is round 1. Noteable rule changes are that front tire tread wear is unlimited, and rear treadwear has been upped from 240-300. And limited 235 width all around. https://justdrift.com/?page_id=4134

Should make for some more close competition! I’m currently shopping around for tires while I wait on the hydramat to show up.

What did you do about the little "baffle" cup the pump sits in and that hydromat fitting?

The fitting went right onto the fuel pump, I couldn’t fit the bottom plastic piece though. And the mat sat in the box in the tank and sticks out a bit as well over the sides

That little box wouldn't pull out of the tank? Doubt you need it with the hydormat

M tank looks the same inside, it is prolly plastic welded to the tank itself

Gotcha, I was curious it seems like the little box has only a small hole to let fuel in. Makes sense though because without the box the fuel slosh would probably remove the pump sock

Maybe cut a slot at the bottom of the box to allow the hydormat to lay flat

That’s not a bad idea. I have it all shoved into the box and my thinking was it should suck pretty good through that little hole. If not I’ll for sure cut it

Got some more progress. Rear end is mostly in all the way, cats are cut out of the exhaust, also the exhaust is full straight piped now and just finished re hanging it. One of my brake calipers where also frozen too so had to order another one. I decided to go to an event at the grange to test the cars fuel system and setup. Then if all checks out in for sure going to push for the win at the first limited series event

Hey guys i'm also planning out in the way future for my build now power wise. So far I've decided on pypes headers, x pipe, brenspeed detriot rocker cams, and brenspeed Paxton throwback supercharger kit. Anything else I should consider?
Also I plan on installing the super charger and cams last, should I pull the engine and do anything special for reliability sake? Maybe change the rods and bore it out a little?

The cams won't gain any power with the blower, if you want cheap power the Pacesetter headers have larger primary tubes and fit wonderfully, their H pipe is cheap as well. X-pipes don't make any more power and cause fitment issues with certain aftermarket add on's like some driveshaft loops.
I would only run a supercharger with an intercooler if I were you, the juice isn't worth the squeeze so to speak without it.
No need to pull the engine at any point.
