REVERSING Common Exhaust Component gets Wild Reactions on Youtubers 1000HP Trans Am for LS Fest East

We took a very common exhaust component… flipped it backwards, and built a full custom 4-inch exhaust on Alex’s 2001 Trans Am WS6—pushing near 1000 horsepower, keeping the A/C, with quad tips and OEM+ style. All just in time for LS Fest East, driving it there under its own power. In this video, you’ll see how we solved space constraints with the manifold and subframe, why the backwards collector gives this build a tone no other turbo F-body has, and where we compromised (just a bit) on drone and hanger placement. If you love exhaust tech, big sound, and seeing a car turned into something unforgettable, you’ll want to stick around. Check out the build Alex did before the show, as well as more footage from the show!    • I FIXED & MODIFIED EVERYTHING ON MY TURBO ...   Shoutout to Burns Stainless for helping make that custom collector: https://burnsstainless.com/products/4... 0:00 - Introduction & Project Goals 2:34 - First Look at the Trans Am 4:49 - Dissecting the Old Exhaust 9:08 - The Plan: Alex's Vision for the Build 12:15 - Fabrication Begins 14:59 - The "Backwards" Collector 18:27 - The Final Push 20:51 - The Road Trip to LSFest 23:09 - Roadside Repair: A Fuel Leak 26:41 - Arriving at LSFest 27:51 - Burnout Wars & Event Fun 29:05 - Troubleshooting a Dead Cylinder 31:13 - The Spark Plug Solution FMU Bad Driver Hoodie is NOW AVAILABLE! https://fluidmotorunion.com/product/b...
