Default ***Late Model Racecraft Twin Turbo System for C7***

I would like to share a couple pictures of our Twin Turbo System going together. There is still some work left to be done but thought I would share some teaser pics. Enjoy!

All I have to say, is thank you!

Thank you for the V-bands...i can't believe any exhaust manufacturer still uses slip joint and flange style exhaust unions. It's an immediate turn off for me when i see them, i don't care how much HP increases, if it isnt V-band it aint going on my car.

I disagree. For stuff like this, yes use vbands. For something mass produced they don't have the adjustability for variations in the car so you get a bunch of cars the parts fit like crap on.

How much ground clearance between pipes under the front suspension and the ground, and how much clearance was lost vs. stock?

Craftsmanship looks great. Do you see any future issues with the transverse leaf spring and the exhaust pipes so close?

That's why they are using V-Bands + Flex couplings.

Do you plan on taking this car to Oklahoma for some street racing?

Agreed, and for turbo outlets, inlets/etc they work great. You see they still use slip joints on the x-pipe and rest of the exhaust. My point was vbands have their place, but putting them everywhere on a rigid system can cause all sorts of fitment issues on a mass produced car.

System looks great.

Our supercharged setup made 715rwhp and 600rwtq. I do not think there is one single or twin turbo C7 Corvette running in the world right now with results. We are shooting to start testing our system in the up coming weeks.
