Yes, I'm using the V1 stepped / V1 section 1 pipes. I took off a set of SuperSprint straight-through non-stepped (i.e. OEM compatible) section 1 pipes when I installed these units - since you're ~local, if they're in any way useful to you I'll cut you a great deal on them. ![]() FWIW I would hesitate to put the stepped headers / section 1 pipes in front of stock x-pipe / mufflers. The S54 is extremely sensitive to exhaust flow and you just won't get the power gains from those (ungodly expensive) headers if the system can't breathe past the section 1 pipes. Do you already have a tune of some kind? |

Not yet. Am thinking of an Epic tune, but that's likely a ways out after exhaust and intake (which are after brakes and a more track friendly seat / harness setup). I did put in an Eventuri intake because I had to set *some* part of that S54 sound hehe. Cheers, Eamonn |

![]() ![]() ![]() Far from final but I needed to hang the bumper so that I can build the splitter support and figure out rad / intake ducting. Nice to see it with a front end again. |

Not much progress today, but working on modifying the stock undertrays to mate up with the splitter. I will use these as templates for sheet aluminum pieces (or, comedy option: carbon fibre). Next up on the front end is mocking up the airflow routing to the radiators in such a way that I maintain a fairly large pocket of air on top of the splitter for generating the downforces.
Downforces. Anybody good with CFD and interested in helping me simulate a couple of designs? I have the diffuser parts sitting on the ground under the back of the car and will probably start looking at that soon too. ![]() ![]() |

Looks great Matt, mate I'd be a little worried about your accumulator guage hanging that close to the splitter/ground. If the splitter cops a hit, (not unheard of) you might loose the accumulator? (Gauge neck snap) is there anyways you could remote mount that gauge?
Awesome progress man! |

Took the car off the lift so we could put a buddy's Pathfinder up and do the brakes. Took some video of moving it back into the garage. Review: it's going to be really goddamn quick ![]() |

Welp.
We're moving on the 15th, and that has finally become real for me. The car isn't going back on the lift. It needs a lot of off-the-ground work still. Oh well. I'm still pretty happy with how it looks right now: ![]() And I got myself a new airtool as a consolation prize: ![]() ![]() |

Nice result at the Ridge - 2:00 range is pretty quick IME. ![]() A few snaps from the move, and the new garage. Which... is not as nice a place to be as the old one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by mattfwalters; 08-27-2019 at 06:34 PM.. |
