Here's some pictures of the parts: Exhaust pipe: Intercooler pipe: Intercooler parts: Fabricated 2.5" Exhaust:
It took about 3 hours to build the exhaust and I'm really happy with the results. I have enough pipe left over to build another exhaust too. Next project is the intercooler.

Nice work on your exhaust. I got asked all the time why I didnt run the outlets on both sides on my last Fiero (88GT L67). Easier, cheaper, lighter and flows better came to mind. I tried to get the point across to Dean on my current build. I still think he is going to try to have a symmetrical exhaust. I don't see the point.

My car came stock with a 4 cylinder, single exhaust so it's only fitting that it has a single exhaust now.

My 88 2.5 had the dual trumpet exhaust from the factory I think. Both cutouts in the bumper are stock. It just seems odd to have one exhaust tip per cylinder originating from one pipe. It doesn't get any more for show than that!

Took a couple pictures today after cleaning the car up.

And a crappy video I took with my Iphone. Sound is not that great and never mind my belt squeak.

I like the in dash boost. Nice! Your car looks great. However, mirrors are for show cars. IMO, they have no place on performance cars. And you sir, have a PERFORMANCE car. I did see mirros right? lol

The car is a little bit of everything. Show and go.

Just an update. The dog bone mount broke when driving the other day. I am going to redo the engine mounts now so the engine doesn't move and it won't need a dogbone. I need to install the water to air intercooler too.

I know this swap isn't popular, but I must say it's one of the swaps that looks like it belongs in a Fiero. Only thing that looks odd about it it the writting being upside down. Good job!
