  1. Houston, did you send the entire assembly to Paul to match up the motor? I’ve gotten disassembly down to the step before separating the metal casing, so I haven’t seen whether the gear is broken but I’m guessing it is. Has anyone ever bought the GM assembly? Looks the same, I wonder if it’s worth buying as a drop in replacement.
  2. I looked at this car. You would need new headlights to replace the painted orange ones, tons of new or repainted trim, fix the stereo, new wheels, etc. That's not even including the Panama or shady replica history. I'm glad Roy talked me out of this car a few months ago. Paid a little more for a no stories car, didn't have to deal with the refurb, etc. Thanks Roy, you were totally right about passing on it!
  3. Leadfoot lives at the North Pole now lol! Plastique - Those are GREAT shots, the white on black gives me a perfect point of reference. Thanks!
  4. So, I had my small SV stickers removed to clear bra the entire car. I bought both the small and large sets because I couldn't figure out which to put back on. I've now decided on the big decals. Does anyone have, or can take, several shots of the decal placement? I've found pics on the internet, but can't tell how high/far back the stickers go, as well as what angle. I'd need shots from both sides of the car, preferably directly from the side. Might help to have slightly elevated shots with reference points, too. Thanks in advance.
  5. I decided to pick up the full IPE setup with remote valves, primary sport cats and secondary deletes. The chance of me liking the existing Larini muffler was not worth risking, especially after Stimpy talked some sense into me. I know I like the sound of IPE, so I should just go with that was the gist of the conversation . Thanks for the input guys!
  6. I'm getting an IPE full system put in, will try and remember to take pics of mounting locations. I'll have a Larini 670 muffler coming off to sell cheap if someone wants to try and mount it in their 640. I'm curious to what the exact difference is.
  7. When you say primary cat deletes, you mean a piece of pipe with no high flow cats in them, right? What are your thoughts on the benefits (power or sound) of changing to high flow primaries instead of deleting them altogether? Primary high flows coupled with secondary delete, that is.
  8. Awesome post Whiteout, love the videos. While I'd love to go full primary deletes, I already have a hard enough time convincing my wife to ride in the car. Without cats, she'll never get in it. Have you ever installed a secondary delete while leaving primaries in? How about compared to primary high flows and secondary delete? I have access to the secondary delete pipes, but am trying to decide whether to install those first or just get the primary high flows and install both at the same time (it's a bit of a hassle to get the car serviced, so if I can avoid two trips that is preferable). My fear is that if I don't like the Larini sound, I'll have to remove everything and start over with the full IPE exhaust. Anybody want to buy a Larini muffler? If I pre-sell that, my decision might be easier.
  9. If I remove the secondaries and replace with test pipes (leaving stock primary cats), how does that compare to replacing the primaries with high flows AND secondary test pipes? Are secondaries only a fair representation of how the Larinis sound? How much more volume and does the pitch change when stepping up to high flow primaries? I already have access to test pipes, would have to order high flows. If I don't like sound with Larini and test, I may skip the Larini primaries and just replace the whole thing with IPE. I'd hate to get high flows and still hate the Larini sound. I can't find any videos comparing the larini alone, larini and test secondaries, larini and only primaries, and larini with both primary high flow and secondary test.
  10. Not a bad idea, especially since I already have the test pipes for the secondaries. Anyone know how easy it is to change them out?
  11. Ahh, thanks for the reminder. I remember my Viper days, it smelled terrible. Looks like I'll be trying the IPE or Larini high flows, secondary deletes, and keeping me Larini muffler unless someone local wants it cheap
  12. Who is the preferred Kreisseig dealer? Price is double IPE. Does anyone know for sure if primary delete affects engine power? My preference is loud, so having both primary and secondary test pipes is tempting.
  13. I'm definitely going test pipes for secondaries. Thought about it for primaries, but heard that I may have power loss if I do that with the primaries.
  14. I'm not sure what the CGT quote was about above your comment, but I wouldn't sell mine for $700k I wish I could hear the Kreissieg in person. The IPE sounds great. I'm just wondering if I'm better starting all over or just building on existing Larini.
