Your actual work or the work on the hot rod because I seem to recall at least one instance where this wasn’t the case lmao. Something forgot to get tightened? Hmmm trying to remember…dammit I hate getting old!

Good news boys, I believe the AC issue has been identified. So the driver side fan keeps blowing the relay, so I swapped connectors making the driver side fan activate as if it were the passenger side. Now the AC stays in and is ice cold!
So it’s the fan itself? Maybe that passenger side one is drawing too much power?

I swapped fan sets with another known good set and it still did it so it’s not the fan in particular. Must be a wiring issue if some sort or I was buying the wrong relays but not sure how that’s possible. The box itself could be bad as well I suppose.

Why are your exhaust exits backwards?

So the quiet side is because I’m sick of over axle pipes always being in the way, hitting the axle, and being a PITA to remove and install. I thought the fumes smell would be bad but it’s genuinely not an issue at all, I smell nothing even when parked and idling for 15minutes. I do plan to rest so side turnouts for the quiet side just so the fumes aren’t an issue down the line.

The cutout I actually accidentally welded it facing the wrong way. I know dumb as fuh, but I had very little time and was also helping with an engine swap on and off during the time I was fabbing the dump section. I just happened to not test fit when it was tacked and after I realized it I didn’t have enough time to redo it. It will be addressed maybe this weekend. It’s gonna suck to fix.

Nope, but it has 4 mufflers and the idle tune is dead nuts 14.7 now.
You guys doing this sh*t in your sleep are killin me.:emotions33:

It’s not just that it’s laying upside down in your back then struggling to disconnect the thing, walking into the shop. Clearing a spot on the bench, getting interrupted three or four times, then finally tacking it in place and deciding to just weld it up because your exhausted and out of time.

Life’s ruff I like to gripe, sue me:flipthebird:;):gayfight:

Maybe the point of a side exit exhaust is for evacuation of fumes. With mine, the fumes outrun the car and climb in through any open window. It's gotta be the aerodynamics sucking them forward. Maybe I should put it back to a side exit.

Idk I don’t have any issues with it at all, I even switched my catch can to straight vent to atmosphere. No recirculating into the intake at all, I don’t smell it one bit.

The younglings in my welding class said the single 3” cutout ain’t loud enough. Pushing me to do dual 3” or a single 4”. If you were being pressured by ***** teenagers what would you do? Remember I need to cut and redo it anyway and I do have a 4” on the shelf
