Your pictures answered most of my questions but I still need the type of coils you use in order to finish updating your EC2. Are those RX-8 coils or LS-1 coils? Red & Blue injectors?

My exhaust questions:  You can see in the picture, that I stuck a 150* piece on the end of the muffler.  This isn't permanen= t, I just put it there for the radius.  I remember Lynn writing something about the = exhaust length should be a multiple of 11 to 12 inches.  Is this for 6500 ish = rpm?  Where do I start measuring?  I measured from the front rotor exhaust p= ort to the back of the muffler and got 30".

 

I can run a short bend and let the exhaust exit out the side of the cowling, right where it shows in the picture. But I am worried about the exhaust being too close to the fresh air intake.  The other = option is to turn it inboard and down, so it passes over the engine mount tube and ex= its out the bottom of the cowling.

 

What is the appropriate angle for the end of the pipe as it exits the cowl so I don't have any back pressure? 

 

Chris
