Well Nik, I think have some of the stiffest shocks around.

Mold is glassed and all done. Few minor touch ups to make and I should be able to start on an actual hood tomorrow.

No. Still waiting for the exhaust to get here.
Edit: I also bought a used Excell Vector header which will make the Leo Vince super easy to install since the vector header is straight. Couldn't pass it up for $220.

you need to post a pic of the new shocks once they are on, they look killer!

Installed my new beautiful shocks today and started installing the header.
Float X's from the Nytro RTX SE...I also got my new lower a-arms on and installed the new updated ball joints.
used Excell Vector header
The Nytro and vectors headers are obviously different in the way they mount. The slots don't quite line up so I had to do something different.
Installed 5/16 nutserts from the local hardware store
Removed the stock header mounting bracket and drilled two new holes for the 5/16 bolts
Then made same 1" spacers out of an extra radius rod to go between the top of the tunnel and header and then ran my bolts through and tightened the header up.
Header centered in the back. I just need to weld a flange on tomorrow for the exhaust and then I can finish up the seat brackets and tunnel enclosure.

So I just finished and it's 1:30 am but at least I get to ride tomorrow 
Got the flange deal done and then made the tunnel enclosure from .060
Seat brackets are 1/4 aluminum with angle iron underneath the enclosure to help provide support
Seat bracket and heat tape
rear view and done
Side view done
It sounds great. It's quieter than the MBRP I had, but a lot deeper than stock.

I love it. Sweet sound and a very noticeable power gain. Thanks for all the moral support during the exhaust install Today was kick azz. Can't wait for next weekend.
