Hey man! that pump job looks great!!! I literally registered just to comment on it and hoping maybe you could share what the parts you used?
Ive been lurking for awhile here. Ive been waiting for a couple places to have their surge pumps kits, but they are all out of stock and i really dont like the surge tank and the extra lines, but havent even tried to do something like you did.

Your car looks awesome btw!!!

Is the gap in you exhaust ports a problem? Between the exhaust ports and the sleeves? Is it that way from factory? Where does the exhaust go that gets in between?
