haha - good one. But you know, that might be a great color for the irons. I was thinking of blue maybe...

You're assuming that it made sense originally

Paint the irons if you'd like but don't do the front cover or rotor housings. You'll regret it later.

No. I will be running the Davesport 100 cpi cat on the new engine. Currently I am back on the stock midpipe cat for awhile.

This is a great thread, I am so jealous! I have a feeling my motor is about to give out on me, and I plan on using your build as reference when I get mine done.

I'm very interested in high-power NA Renesis builds. Its great to see someone from our community taking these steps. Can't wait for it to get done!

Here is the ID of the cat 3.262"

It will slip over the OD of the Racing Beat pipe.

That's way too big. 3.262" ID - 3.0" OD = 0.262" diameter difference

I remember Jim Langer told me the OD of their pipe was actually bigger than 3.0" - I can't find that e-mail. Let me call him and post back.
