I towed the Formula to the exhaust shop yesterday and had them "massage" the Pypes kit. It took them three hours to get it to fit correctly. I'm real disappointed in the overall cost of the exhaust system, but that is a story for another day. I have been slowly getting the little stuff taken care of. I fixed the gauges, tail lights and flashers, installed the rear window trim and trunk weather strip, etc.... I had hoped to take it for a drive today but there is something wrong with the carb. I'm not getting a pump shot. I've had the top off and blown the passages out but to no avail. as soon as I come off idle it falls on it's face. I'm going to try a known good carb before I do anything else to this one. It's always something, but at least it looks good sitting in the garage. Anyway, here is some video.

Love it! Congrats!

Which muffler did you choose with the PYPES system, by the way? It sounds fantastic at idle!
