    Nope, not magnetic. It's just a regular old fitting.

    The cutout up top is where the oil comes in from the engine before the filter.

      Thanks. I might try that. How far can I go?

        No idea, machine shop installed the npt fitting to block off the oil filter bypass.

        The cutout is just stock.

            Forgot I did this awhile back, got to spend some quality time with my daughter in the garage, took a timelapse run of it with the gopro. Hadn't done this before so it was essentially a test run.

              Modified the Force Fed Fabs longtube headers to run a different collector design I ordered from Davis Headers. This venturi style collector will help with keeping the exhaust velocity up, something I’m concerned about since this is a higher compression engine. Turn down tips are by Kooks. Needs a few finishing touches like the O2 bungs and retaining springs.

              Needless to say, I was a bit concerned about cutting into a very uncommon set of headers, but I went for it anyway.

              Test Fit:



              Comparison between the two designs:



              Turndown tip for driving with the open headers, keeps the O2 sensor a little happier...

                  Yeah, it was last time. It'll be only for a short bit until I can get the merge connected.

                    Headers should be completed today, excited to see them. Can't believe this is getting so close.

                    Waiting on axle tube shims for the watts link, need to do the pcv catch can mod, top off the fluids, bleed the brakes/clutch lines and get it ready.

                    Wheels come in tomorrow, oh yeah forgot to mention that. I'll post pics when they come in. I really dig them, kind of a mix between a Z06 Spyder wheel and the CTS-V monoblocks.

                          Yeah, it's just finding 18's that clear the brembos has been quite difficult without spending a crapload of money on wheels and the C6 ZR1's just don't do it for me.

                            looks great! What size tire are you going to run?

                              275's to start with. Was happy with that size last time.

                              If I get some C5 Z06 wheels in 18x10.5, I'll try to run 315's for track duty.
