Thanks! Its loud as hell now. The video doesn't really show how loud it is.

My brother is pumped. He had been sitting on the car for 4-5 years and to have it start was huge.

Damn photobucket. Ill post up some pics of the car if people want. Anyway. Got a bit done on it this weekend. Nothing to interesting: new u-joints, mounted the ECU, ran radiator lines, mounted battery in the trunk. I started the exhaust for it. 2.5'' stainless. Need a bit more tube and some mufflers. Everything should be ordered by the end of today.

The exhaust is looking very nice. Yeah, the PB thing is a chit show.

Re: My brother's Nova
 

Seriously. Imagine breaking one billion photo links....I don't see how they are going to sustain without that traffic.

Anyway...Did an intake tube. Had to snake it up then down and forward.

That is nice and neatly tucked in there!

Your welding is way better than mine. ( I just need more practice)
Strong work! Is the MAF attached on one end of the 90 degree L or not yet installed.
In my research about MAF location, optimal is recommended to be 10-12 inches from the throttle body.

What say you?

Keep on keepin on

It's all about the hood time! I honestly weld aluminum maybe twice a year.

I heard 6-12 inches but I'm not sure. We will probably run it there unless it causes issues.

Re: My brother's Nova
 

Needed the mufflers to be offset to the side by 3 inches.

I don't remember any math...I used to love it. So I did some paper instead.

Re: My brother's Nova
 

Had a tank of contaminated gas so I didn't get much done in the last week but finally got the exhaust all in.
Made a hanger.

The underside. Glad we spent so much time cleaning and painting.
