Single passenger side exhaust exit? 4" diesel mufflers? What kind? Gonna be very cool, the flowmaster Y is a very nice design.... That CTS heat exchanger is a beast, I'm tossing that idea around myself. And that denali console looks like it was made to house a couple of gauges. Can't wait to see the results!
Also, I was looking at your 80e swap picks and saw that you had to shim your tranny when using an HD crossmember... what model truck di that come out of? I have my 1500HD crossmember off of my old truck, put it under my SS the other night and it was too tall, I'm gong to have to take about 2" out of it to work. Seems strange unless maybe yours was from an Allison equioped truck.

The heat exchanger is actually from a NNBS TVS kit....thinner than the CTS unit, but will work just fine.
the console is an 01 denali...the gauge location was for the driver info center...going to fit perfectly...wideband and boost from nordskog/innovate.
the trans crossmember came out of a 2500 suburban 4x4. was your HD 2wd?

well, how would you compare this one to the radix? I'm thinking about ditching the idea of camming my engine and instead getting the tvs1900. I feel like it will give me the driving experience that I strive for - low end power and awesome throttle response - in addition to the top end stuff.

How did you get the gauge faces to be "darkened", so you cant quite see the gauge. Where my truck gets parked at work gets broken into every so often. I want to make the lenses on my gauges so you cant quite see the face of them unless the gauge lights were on.
