Be very interesting to see how the ceramic does for staying clean under a vehicle

For the bigger car shows that Mike attends, they will stay clean.  The judges are very picky.
I'm not speaking of his ocd and meticulous detail but of how the heat is going to effect them

Well, I'll just say if it discolors due to heat, I'll be placing some not so pleasant phone calls back to the vendor.

I was told it won't (discolor). But I'll find out.

Yea I have ceramic pans that mostly still look like new after five years but have some spots that are not perfect but who knows how much that relates

You'll like xpel. I have it on the Yukon XL from the doors forward. Just have the rear quarters, hatch and rear bumper. I won't do the roof, it's too large. The front has been protected from Northern VA and DC rock chips. Did (minor) paint correction before the film went on and ceramic after. So shiny and clean and protected.

Oh I even had film out on the inside door sill to help prevent scratches from people entering and exiting.

@J-Will......

That's excellent to hear 1st hand experience with that product, and that you've been happy with it.

I was already beyond any warranty period with the old, 3M Clear Bra, so I already knew the last 2 seasons it needed to be replaced.

No better time to tackle that aspect of the project than now. Particularly knowing the car was/is down for an extended period.

Look'n forward to the new film and hoping to be equally as impressed as you. Thanks!

Custom EM's in development. Some progress pics, along with a couple of pics showing the impeccable weld work. Exciting!

12/16/19 *BONUS*.......

Repair, repaint of bumper cover and then the install of splitter, with CF rods is now complete. In its' entirety, and has been retrieved and brought home.

Where it is now resting/hibernating comfortably in my basement, atop the pool table. Hahaha.

Tried to get a couple of side shots to help show just far out the splitter extends. Hopefully it can be seen.

Like I stated the other day, turned out even better than I had expected.

The Splitter/Front Clip looks AWESOME!  That custom Exhaust Manifold is BEEFY....not only performance/power but the sound....man what will this Exhaust sound like now?  The welds are beautiful.  Skilled metal fabrication and welding is ART!

Thanks. It is impressive to see the updates and progress, as they are provided to me.

I'm equally impressed with the talents and craftsmanship being performed.

As far as the sound? Hmmm..... never even dawned upon me to think of that aspect of it until you just mentioned it now. No clue.

Suppose we'll all find out.

I do recall, as most of you will likewise, that sitting stationary/parked, our cars, even when revved up, leave something to be desired. Stock, or modified.

I'll have to try and obtain a drive by pic as the exhaust note seems to sound "throatier" under load.

Thanks Z!

I wish my SHO had trans warp capabilities akin to the latest iteration of the Enterprise.

But unfortunately, not sure if the tech is quite there yet for that.

Maybe if it is, the government's hiding it in/at Area 51? .

LOL

Some more work being done on the custom Exhaust Manifolds today. Just got the following pics and message from the machine shop owner.

He stated the following....

Quote: "Some measurement pics for the masses.

Entry to the port almost stayed the same size. Only changed .030 in one direction from the porting done on it, and a constant tubing size of 1.592.

Which increases the runner area by almost 20 percent". ----End Quote.

I think a 20% increase in flow starting at the beginning of the entire exhaust system may indeed yield more than 20% overall.  I'm very interested in a set, as these will give my build a true "full exhaust" and equally interesting to me is what the sound enhancement will be.  Win (flow) Win (complete exhaust system) Win (sound enhancement) Triple Threat
