Super nice pipes Hayden. I'm about to start building a set for my FED. I'm not looking forward to it after seeing your result with 30hours invested already.

Your engine is blown isn't it? Be interesting to see the power variation with these pipes. If looks counted for anything you should be making heaps more power. They are a trick se of pipes

Well done

Very nice work guys, I do high end vehicle work like this for a living and that's a premium effort. Well done! If the engine is aspirated I predict more midrange power from those pipes than with the zoomies with no loss (or possible gain) in top end power. If it's blown the zoomies will likely show an advantage, assuming everything else is right and they are sized correctly.
Once again, congrats on the nice workmanship.
