I do love the way this setup looks! Anybody install it with the engine in the car? Just curious how bad/good it is.

Several guys have. Helps to have a lift... but it can be done.

I did my engine at the same time, but I think that Noob has done it a few times with the engine in the car... and on the floor.. ouch.

My first TTi Stage X combo was a stock bottom end so the motor stayed in the car for the turbo kit install.

The second time around the motor was out as it was being replaced with a purpose built turbo motor.

Instead, I think you, Bobby, myself, and that Nasty Blue NA car, need to meet up and have a KYCorvettes roll bar installing PARTY. We could have a live band or a DJ, open bar, and disco ball, you know the works. Bwahahaha.

I told bobby in his thread that I'm going to have to step it up next year to have a chance against you guys.

In all seriousness, good luck in whatever you decide.

Hahaha, click on the "My Corvette Photos" link underneath my name to the left for a look at my poor-man's lift at the time

I did that first install without moving the motor at all. The second time around I did drop the motor and I'm glad I did -- overall the install was "tighter" and more refined, IMHO.

Also, JMHO but I think that this is the trade-off between hard pipes and flexible tubing -- hard pipes are more difficult to install and get lined up right, but they are extremely durable and will take anything you can throw at em... flexible tubing requires little work in getting it lined up but will not take as much abuse.
