Haha i know right?... Yeah when i put the motor in i was just gunna go with the BIC exhaust from the oem y-pipe back... Then when it came down to actually ordering the exhasut i decided just to go with the aftermarket y-pipe and downpipe with a BIC test pipe and then the RSR GT2 catback... so thats why that played out like that... But yeah it would of been sooo much easier if the motor was still out..

Yeah havn't decided what all im going to do with the rack yet.. I herd that you can swap it out with one from a 5.0 mustang to get more angle but idk.. but its also kinda one of those things where if it isn't broken don't fix it for me right now given that im on such a limited budget.. But eventually down the road im going to ungrade my rack setup along with the suspension and bushings ect..

There are a couple mods that increase steering angle.Just search for them.

so i got the twins with the new y-pipe back on and i started hooking up the oil lines.. I got the front turbos lines on easy but the with the new y-pipe the rear one is just about imossible to fit with the hard lines... does anyone know any company that makes soft lines for the ct12's?... if not i will have to make my own...

what did you do to polish the intake pipes

I just sanded them smooth with some like 60 grit first and then some like 220 grit and then some like 1000 grit.. then just went at them with a polishing pad and polish.. I did kinda of a half ass job tho cus im going to go single soon enough hopefully:sarcasm:..
