Well, I might have to eat some crow!! I got this today:
I though you were going to send the pipes in! I had said in a previous email to get them sent in and we will get them taken care of. I can see where the clearance is an issue. I had one other set that had that problem as well and we now have a plate welded to the mockup motor so that the clearance isn't an issue any longer with the transmission spacer.
I can correct those pipes or send a set and have you send those pipes back. I do agree that there will be an issue with that bellow and where it is in relation to the transmission.
After he told me to send the pipes in, I asked how much or is this warranty work? No answer and based on previous experience, I had them fixed myself. I have put on the turbo and DP and getting ready to roll, now this. I'm going to call and if I can talk to Jake, ask him to send the pipes first. If he sends the pipes, I'll put them on of course. So, I'm in limbo again. At least I hog tied my nephew to come over tomorrow and put my dash back in. I'll be able to put the interior back together after sound proofing it and get a few other things done but then wait. I'll give a week!!

Man I was planning to order Jakes s366 kit and bellows after the new year. This has me a bit worried to do so now. Do you guys have another vendor to go through instead that produces the same kit but with a better up pipe design? Is Irate the only kit out there currently?
I have noticed you guys are lucky to have a lot of down time with your vehicles. Being my DD this is something I would be doing in a weekend, and would be irate if some of these time costing issues I have seen throughout your guys threads popped up on my truck. Not bashing anyone out there, but since you all have done this kit, is there a better route to go, or is this the only route.
One last question, is it possible to install without pulling the motor? I planned on rebuilding the trans at the same time, and was hoping having the trans out it would be fairly straight forward, unless I am completely overlooking an issue. I have a 5 speed manual fyi.
Sorry to thread jack, but I thought it was fairly relevant.
