Have any interior shots? Have a center console?

Just close-ups of work I've done, like the trim around the rear seat and the holster install on the B-pilar.

The car is a 9C1, so it has just the flat panel that the shifter bolts to. No console yet, although I'm piecing together a G8 console and floor shifter for the thing. That project has stalled some due to other things getting in the way, like the exhaust install. That was a multi-part install, because I either lost the muffler hangers (custom to this kit), or the seller forget to pack them. I had to work with the exhaust manufacturer (X-Force) to get a new set. They DID come through, though, even though I did not buy the kit from them directly.

Yeah, I see no reason why it wouldn't. There may be small differences in the length and arrangement.

For my '08 Denali it was:

Two 4in sections of 3in pipe (to join the elbows)
One 45 degree street elbow (connects to MAF)
One 60 degree regular elbow
One 90 degree street elbow (connects to throttle body)
Two 3in Fernco's w/clamps
One 3/8 barbed 90 degree threaded fitting
One foot of rubber 3/8 ID tubing


If I were going to build another one, I might try using a 60 degree street elbow in place of the 90 to connect to the throttle body. At least on my vehicle it kind of curls back a bit inside of the Fernco boot, making a not so smooth transition. The 90 degrees was a little too much. I think 60 would have been more ideal.

I drilled and tapped the barbed fitting into the backside of the 60 that connects to the line down near the top of the passenger side valve cover. Where the fitting goes into the 60, I used some liquid electrical tape to ensure I had an airtight seal. All of the unions are just glued with regular PVC cement.

Man, I am having a hell of a time finding a 60 degree 3” elbow, or street elbow. WTH. I figured all these should be on the shelf at my local big box. Spent over an hour now looking online at all the big box stores, Amazon, local plumbing supply stores. [emoji2959]

ETA: I should add: within reasonable cost. Looks like I’m going to have to order from several sources. Weak.

ETA2: Ok, found what I needed at supplyhouse.com. Reasonable prices, and shipping. [emoji106]

Everything except the 60 I was able to get at my local Lowes.

Lowes didn't carry the 60, unless I ordered a box of 20. My local Home Depot did have 60's, about $9/ea, definitely the most expensive of all the pieces. The other elbows were only like $3.

Thanks. Yeah, I got a regular 60 elbow, and a Street 60 at supplyhouse.com. Couldn’t find a street 60 many places. Think I’m gonna use silicone couplers as well, rather than rubber. Found some out there for about the same $ as the rubber ones. [emoji16]

What's the holster on the B pillar look like?

This was when I had the holster to fit my Shield 9mm:



Here's how it mounts to the panel:



I used thumb nuts so I can swap out the holster part from the mount. I now have a holster for my H&K P30 SKS. The holster and mount is made by American Leathersmith (formerly Texas Custom Holsters). We have one in the Tahoe to fit my wife's .357. It's mounted on the driver's side of the console.
