Completed last night - wonderful! Lone Star Classics did 2 x 4 collectors $212, Spiral Turbo Specialties supplied sidepipes and baffles $550, Performance Coatings did ceramic $375.

Very nice. I've been e-mailing Jim regarding his sidepipes and he said you might post some pics.
I'm looking at doing the same thing on my build, but need to get some info from Jim before I tackle it.
What did you end up using for a mount? Do you have flange to flange mounting for the header/sidepipe connection or are they slip fit?
Thanks,
Bob

Standard 4 bolt flange from headers off engine to 4 bolt flange on collectors. You cannot see that connection since it is in engine bay. Then I had 4 inch collectors made and and Jim fabbed the side pipes to slide over collectors. He also supplied the turbo baffled and I drilled and mounted them inside side pipes. If you look close there is a stainless steel clamp I bought from a semi truck supply to use over slip connection. I fit the pipes up and then welded a mounting plate for the back. Took all to a local coating company and had ceramic coated. I ran around for several hours today and I love them. Time will tell but I think this is a great set up. Look in my gallery for pics as I was fitting.

I drilled a 1/2 inch hole in the end of the baffles to give it a little more SOUND, but you can play with them as you like. It is a matter of maybe 15 minutes to pull them and tune as you like. If you want to be REAL LOAD you could just take the whole baffle out.

Jim seems to be a great guy to work with.
