TTI & Interior progress

["Robert (UK)" <r.lane@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Spent yesterday afternoon finishing off fitting the TTI system we bought 
last summer.

Although the joints went together ok when we trial fitted the fit of 
each section away from the car and on the floor, once up under the car 
with less elbow room & leverage, found it wasnt so easy.
Ended up filing any rough spots then using emery cloth on all joins, 
then used a drop of engine oil just to make sure they could still be 
moved when up in position.

Only problem we've ended up with is one of the trans fluid lines now 
runs right up against the drivers side exhaust next to the trans pan 
(see pics in link below). We'll have to remake or try & re-route that 
before we start to use the car.

We did want to get her started tho, to make sure it wasnt blowing 
anywhere. So after quite a lot of cranking, kept it running for a few 
mins and all looked, and sounded good. Didnt have time to take it out 
for a run (apart from the prob with the trans line), so cant comment on 
the Dynomax mufflers. Had a nice tone while in the garage tho, and not 
too loud like I've heard Flowmasters can be.

Pic of the tailpipes dont flatter the rear of the car - it needs a wash! 
and the panel under the rear bumper looks worse than it is - we'll get 
that sorted when it's time to get the body work done! Doesnt look like 
it, but there's about 1/4" of clearance above the tailpipes.

Rears seat is now in too, after going back to the upholsterers to try & 
smooth out some of the material that was a bit baggy.
Still not perfect, but they havent been sat on yet so it may smooth out 
with wear. Ever the optimist....
