Post Marsh Mellow on 23GTR
Put it on yesterday evening and ran it today. Before the exhaust it ran 21 with just me. With the exhaust it ran 23 with me and got going alittle better.don't know how accurate the numbers are cause I ran it in two different places and water depths. Looks good though on the GTR. Pics Monday when I get to work.

Congrats. You now have a Hopkins clone with slip joints. :lol: I liked my Hopkins but the rigid flange mounts didnt hold up..

It has a bracket that is hard too see from the side that make a cross pattern and welds to the top of the exhaust and bolts to the heads. the slip flanges need to be welded to act as brace as well. Good work Click. post more pictures if you have them.
