1969 Camaro, as delivered to the shop. A tidy Ls swap had already been performed. The car had headers on it and the turbos were mounted, but that was as far as it got. Our mission: custom aluminum tube intake plumbing to route the air through the turbos, down into the inner cooler, back up through the intake manifold, and into the combustion chamber, and a stainless exhaust system to expel the high octane dinosaur corpse's from the potent mill in fine style. Lets see what happened........
The engine compartment, as delivered. some nice parts, and a few things that need attention. Typical "project" car, but definitely an above average start. We
With a car this pretty, you can never be too cautious.
Not too many "in progress" photos for this one, so lets cut to the chase. The driver side exhaust had a few obstacles. The master cylinder, steering shaft, rear header, and firewall clearance was tight.
Once we got around that stuff, we were smoking!
Moving down the line, this is what the rear pipes looked like. Simple and effective, no mufflers needed.
Symmetrical. One side buffed and the other not for contrast. Both were ultimately buffed. Stainless looks tough and lasts a lifetime!
Tucked up tight to the floor for ample ground clearance.
The intake was packed in so tight it was hard to get a picture. Here you can see the 2 into 1 merge and the tight turn into the inner cooler, all done in aluminum.
Out of the inner cooler and heading topside. Had to merge from 3'' to 4'' for the throttle body.
Here's the whole system done and ready to deliver.
Think this car is going to be fast? haha.
And headed home! Another satisfied customer.
