This thing is nuts, got it now at work as my screen saver. Looks like a space ship from the Jetsons from the rear, I love it. I want it.

I remember seeing those on a 53 &*#@ at Summernats back in 1999...
Blew my mind.. I guess Ive never found a sufficient how-to article..
Ive seen a lot of posts on the HAMB but nothing really definitive...

Let me know if you come across anything..

Uhh...not much left to say really. Goddamn best looking EK/FB I've seen! Colour suits the style perfectly, grille is spot on, killer stance, custom body mods that work, interior is not what I'd usually go for but looks top notch and really fits with the overall car...basically one kick ass mother of a car.
For a custom EK/FB, this one will be hard to beat.

The car is a real credit to you EKK001, would love to see in the flesh!

how do you like the sound of the twin system? is it right back to the extractors?

Hey Billy, yeah, was taking for a bit of a test drive... yell out next time and i will pull over...!

Ken, i didnt end up having a complete split system because apparently it sounds like a cessna.. so joined the extractors into one, then split it back into 2 with 2 smithys glasspack mufflers... i think it sounds really nice, has a really tough sounding note...

Hopefully my ram tubes arrive today....!

Would love to hear it!

Your right about the cesna sound, thats about the best explanation! they end up with a gargle..
Keen to see how the ram tubes look, Did you buy your triples brand new? they look exactly same as mine, redline manifold n all... i had the choice and opted for the single round filters, but have looked into tubes to, gonna sound killa!!!!

certainly not the show stopper urs is
