looks wicked. I love the interceptors, but I'd like to see them with white walls instead of the chrome trim.
A shame you can't see the big brakes through them though.

update... decided to re-do my exhaust to gain some clearance. Starting off with a Greddy dump pipe. Pretty crafty piece of gear, made out of three pieces of stainless and with an internal splitter that travels the length of the pipe (not just in the bellmouth). Waiting on the arrival of some stainless bends before i can start cutting and welding.

It measures about 70mm at the flange, a touch under 3inch. I'll be cutting the flange off when I modify it so I'll probably cut it back to where I find the pipe is 3" diameter.

Hit a small snag today. After being impressed by the quality of the Greddy dump pipe, i attempted a test fit today but found something a little unusual. My turbo already has a divider cast into the exhaust housing which fouls on the splitter in the dump pipe. Grrrrrrr!!!
Easily fixed with the grinder, but i felt like a butcher having to cut it out of the dump pipe.

bugger, but that does indicate that the turbo is genuine GT or maybe a HKS? i can't remember exactly. What is your current system size?

That happened to me when I put an exhaust on my S15, the factory turbo had the divider in it, so we had to remove it from the aftermarket dump pipe. I think there were some differences between the S-chassis cars, some had the divider in the turbo and some didn't

Currently running a split dump pipe with three inch centre pipe back to a 2.5inch rear muffler. I'll be sizing down to 2.5 all the way when this new dump pipe goes on. Ive only got 60mm clearance between the exhaust and the road atm, hopefully with a smaller diameter and re-jigging, i'll get 100mm. From what ive read, 2.5inch will be fine up to about 350hp.

Started on the rear strut brace for the 16 today. Brackets cut out and welded up ready for locating to the towers. Stainless bar and rose joints also sourced during the week, ready for measuring and fitment.

Nice work Bro, looking forward to seeing how the brace turns out, although may be difficult to determine just how effective the brace is, and the new shocks if you put them both in at the same time.
