The reason it tucks in on the tips is for the IC piping but it does not limit my wheel room.

Bad ass! That looks fucking awesome! I wish I had thought ahead and done the tuck. I used 18ga on mine. I might end up reworking mine later on.



And some photos from the other night

Thanks. The traditional way would have been much easier but I didn't want to ditch the custom one piece piping, though I really want a mid or top mount setup now, it sucks being broke.

I tubbed because I had the motor out anyways and at my old height with 215's on a 9" I was blistering the tires to death.





So for $40 bucks in metal and a few hours, Bam. And I want to go lower and run a much bigger tire. So now I'm going to run a 245 40 up front on a 10" and hopefully that will help my rotating issues I was having on the course.

I dont see how people can drive the hell out of their cars on 18's and not fight themselves in the wheel wells. Anyways, keep posting hot cars, I need inspiration to finish.

Yea I run 255-40 NT05s up front no issue. Once the new motor is done I'm stepping up to 275's up front.
