Well here ya go...kinda, its not quite WOT since it needs a lot of tuning but i got it tuned a little.

Why did you guys join the DPs under the trans to only split it up again? Plenty of room to run true dual up front there, no??

Need more drive-by vids.

It was done in the name of ground clearance. Plus there would need to be a crossover between the exhaust somewhere if it were true dual. Having the driver side cross under and meet the passenger side solves that.

Heres your drive-by...

That sounds real mean. Almost like an American V8...

Damn that sounds incredible! I like how you guys bolted on the exhaust tips, it looks great!

I cannot wait for a full feature length film of the Canyon. Mic in the car though.....

Do you hear the intake through the cowl like we hoped?

WOW Dan, that's freakin sweet! I love it! Also, I can't wait to see that sucker on the road IN PERSON!

Sweet that sounds awesome.

Thanks guys, it does sound great, but is a tad on the too loud for the street side...although it started out very lean and as i tune it the exhaust note gets much less "poppy" sounding and does seem to be quieting up a bit as i increase the fuel. So we will see how it sounds once its mapped out as good as i can get it. Then I'll hand over the tuninig to Marc at EFIexpress and let him work his magic on it.

Derek, you cant really hear anything over the exhaust and that is ok because it's music to my ears, music that will eventually make me deaf if left uncontrolled. LOL

So, i was looking at some photos and found one that I never posted of what the engine bay looked like when this project started and looking at the car i realized how different it looks now. It's a night and day difference.

At the beginning...



Now...



I think its worlds better.

Dan...A Work Of Art man!!

You should make that picture a poster of some sort.

:bump: :bump:

Congrats!!!

Looks and sounds good. Sooo much room for couple turbos, too!

*drool*

Well done, I say!

Very nice!

:woowoo: :woowoo: congrats looks niiiccee

where do I click "like" for the after photo?

maybe something like one of these inserts for the front V-band would be a help for the street...

Top notch project from concept to execution. Great read, and loved the videos... sent 'em to a crustang buddy to make him jealous!

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

Still lots to do and at least ten things in the engine bay alone to clean it up more. It's actually a little grungy in there, you just cant tell in the pic...last time it was cleaned was when it got steam cleaned about three years ago.

Thanks for the Link Derek. I"m gonna hit them up for an insert to hush this beast just a little.

@PRY4SNO - just a little secret between us... I actually like some mustangs, and even have one myself. it's in my sig.

Sound is kinda quiet since i sandwiched my camera under the passenger headrest and that partially covered the mic. This is also with the driver window down all the way, right front window open 2/3 and the rear windows up all the way. It's waaaaay louder in person.
I realized after making this run I should have logged it. It's so much fun to make a log and then tune while reviewing the log, saving it as a new config, then go out to the car and upload the new config and make another log :-)

Awesome .... simply awesome. This thing is a beast and it sounds and looks amazing.

Forgot to mention I ordered a Car Chemistry 3 baffle exhaust insert today that will go in the exhaust where the 3" v-band is. Its supposed to lower the DB level of the exhaust by 7 and smoothe it out by adding a little back pressure. If it's too quiet i can cut a baffle off the insert which will raise the DB lever by approximately 2. Here it is.. http://www.carchemistry.com/shop/index. ... etail&p=19

Sweet!

I hope you know the value on 4kq's just went through the roof!

Sorry about that. I guess stripping the 87 that i found at pick n pull doesnt help either.
