Why is LSC forum so quiet?

Yeah, I had two sets and after working overtime to get plastic bags off of the collector, I went with Brian's new design with the angled flange. Best thing I could have done.

Gave me like 2 inches extra. I still have the ceramic pipes, just not the sides.

Now, I media blast the collector area and spray the pipes. Works fine.

Just remember, each guy on here has his car the way he likes it. Dwight has the ceramics, I have the flat black. There are chrome and stainless...pick what YOU like.

I've never had to scrap plastic bags off mine

but I have deer meat and road trash. Lots of elbow grease

I've heard you can get the pipes hot and then scrap with a piece of wood to get most of the plastic off.

Dwight,
I am definitely going to build. My boys and I are going to make it a father sons project. I just ruled out the unique brand...good product but don't like the body lines. I love the ERA. Sweet body, but a 60K for finished, I'm just not interested. Its between the Lone Star and the Factory Five. I'm leaning towards the Factory Five just becuase of availability of information and support. However, I could tell Brian was a stand up guy the minute I talked to him on the phone. I'm wishing I could see these two cars side by side.

lots of different between the two.
Look at both closely and chose the one you like best.

It would be better if you could see both.

I spent many hours on phone and internet researching which option was best for me. I like to go overboard with research so I have no regrets. That being said I went with Factory Five .Two main reasons stand out. One is the Frame,it is developed with a racing history .It has seen track action . Second to me is company stability. I like to feel confident my manufacture will be around for awhile. I really like the idea that the frame is the main structure and not the body. Im sure Lone Star is a great option as well ,being in business 23 years I'm sure they are doing it right. No matter which option you go with ,your driving a Cobra and it dont get any better .
