yeah i saw the posts as well. yes they could be better welds. but they will still look great and most important, sound amazing. A buddy of mine has some on his GT380 and it sounds very very mean.

Nice looking motor! Was it relatively easy to clean the cases, or did it take awhile using the soda blasting compared to regular media?
