My first post was 3/7/2009 and the LS2 motor is my 2nd engine to install so it is hard to say the amount of hours. I also spend 75% of my time on the road and in China so I spent more time planning than executing. At most I spent 1 weekend each month and had parts and plans waiting.
I am having 2nd thoughts on my exhaust and thinking of dropping the 2 side mufflers and keeping the X-over muffler or dropping the X-over and keeping the side mufflers. Still undecided but think having a set of test pipes made to go straight from the manifold into the X-over would have the most power gains but also more expensive to have fabricated. Dropping the X-over and running tips out the back would be pretty cheap and easy to do.

It's cool to see this in the works.
How long has it taken you with how much work? i.e. "6 months, 10 hoursevery weekend."
