The low mount finally showed up after some issues with the ceramic coaters.

Got a start on fitting it up, should finish it tomorrow.

The only issue I can see is the angle of the front housing will have the silicone elbow pretty close to the front of the manifold. To turn the front housing any more I'll have to have a new actuator bracket made.

Typical weather, starts raining the minute I finish up.

When I wrapped the dump I hit it with mapp gas to burn it in but it still smokes like a bastard, its getting better though after a 45 min drive.

Sounds better/louder and spools harder but will have to wait for a dry day to find out how hard it goes.

Only problem so far is how close the silicone elbow is from the manifold, wrapped it with exhaust wrap and it seems fine so far.

Definitely get some custom heat shield on that manifold asap or say goodbye to those heater hoses and bonnet paint

Yea that's tomorrow's plan.

It was supposed to be ceramic coated but it looks like it's just been sprayed. I was hoping to have the coating keep the heat out but the runners get hot pretty much straight away.
