david in regards to exhaust, if you ever fit a z18et, you can just use the
stock cast manifold pipe off the turbo, if you do this i have a 3" mendrel
bent exhaust complete that will bolt up which you could use until money
allows for a better system. or if anyone else is running a standard pipe off
their turbo (z18) this exhaust is just rusting in my backyard.
