Octobersknight's 818 Build

[octobersknight]

Ho hum ... more wiring. I decided to add another 12V cigarette port to the existing one, knowing I wanted my fancy backup camera/mirror always powered but still wanted an available port for phone charging or whatever.

I also purchased a u-build exhaust piping setup. It wasn't much more to get the whole set than to get the few parts I actually needed. So I will definitely have extra for practice and future uses (?). Definitely not stainless steel like I wanted, but it is a coated steel that looks nice. I need to thoroughly remove the "chrome" near where I want to weld, as practice has already showed me. I also purchased a cherry bomb single inlet/dual outlet oval muffler, because I like the look of the dual exhaust and was close to what Slava has already done. Also, I bought a bellmouth turbo exit with a v-band clamp fitting, which will go along nicely with my plan to make all the pieces modular and separable. There is no particular reason why this flexibility is needed, I just like the thought of being able to take apart the pieces as needed for replacement or modification, without having to cut and/or re-weld to the muffler, etc. I had a buddy weld the stainless v-band fittings onto the muffler. The only downside is that my piping welds are going to look absolute trash next to those works of art!
