Yes, I sent him my stock GE runners and yes he cuts them down a couple inches (you can actually see the chopped off flange at the bottom of that picture). So the couple inches shorter runners, plus the slimmer plenum, should make it fit 100x better. Then as far as the plenum goes, I don't know the specifics of that but I suspect the same as you that it's just a low cost GTE plenum that he cuts the flange off, then mates it up to the new flange he made for the GE runners.

I also run a Q45 flangged TB, so yeah should bolt right up to that flange!

Climate Control back from Tanin. LED converted. White back-lit screen to match white backlighting on the gauges. buttons converted to red matching the fire tip needles. Big thanks to them putting in extra effort to make sure I was good to go on this.

The main issue I had was pickup sync issues. Been fighting that since I first installed it and really frustrating. But other things like burning out some of the injector drivers, not having local people familiare to tune and troubleshoot. The support forums were not overly helpful either

been up since 430 this morning reading this. man this build is awesome. really like the subtle touches here and there. sleeper for sure. no flashy overfenders and super wide wheels. other then it being a very clean and sharp looking car, wouldnt think anything of it passing by. until you hear it fire up,takeoff and row through the gears

Hey thanks man, appreciate the comments. That's exactly my goal for this car, clean, subtle, fly under the radar, but fast And even when it fires up, it's not loud because of the huge resonator and muffler on the car, and sticking to just 3". Even sitting next to me at a stop light, people hardly notice me

Here's actually a couple videos from last summer I don't think I ever posted up. We were in Mexico and ran into some fun. I didn't brake boost or anything in the videos, sort of let them take the hit, so they always got the jump on me, and I just realed em in. So it's the most fun when you see how quickly they start to disappear in the mirrors as I pass them lol. That C6 guy, the look on his face as I started to pass him was priceless. Perfect example of not even thinking twice about my car, older guy probably in his 50's, he just saw me kinda looking at him and said to himself "imma smoke this punk" and he punched it before I was even ready. So as I passed him he looked over and did a double take with a WTF look on his face. Priceless!

Me vs. C6

Me vs. AMG55 vs. Evo
