Exhausted

I finally got a new exhaust put on my Mustang. I had the old one removed to fit the ladder bar and coil over suspension on it, and have neglected getting a new one. I reused the same Warlock Race mufflers that I had before, and had 3" exhaust ran from the header collectors to the mufflers. Due to the intricate suspension work, they where unable to run the exhaust out the back (which I expected) so I had them weld turn-downs on the end of the exhaust, and dump it just before the rear axle. The nice thing that they were able to do was run the exhaust over the ladder bar cross-member rather than under it, which prevented any further loss of ground clearance. The car is much quieter than it was with open headers, but still has a great deal of low end bass, so it will still make its presence known. Most important, its going to make it a lot easier for me to "street tune" the car, since the open headers made sure to let everyone within a mile radius know I was running it WOT.

Hrm. Needs more remote-mount turbo.

Those kits are very popular with F-Body cars. There is nowhere else to put the thing under the hood. I would expect massive turbo lag.
