These are photo of the installed fuel cell. We cut out part of the rusted out floor. A new floor section will be installed later.

I understand needing the clearance for the driveshaft and why the exhaust runs over it like that, but why choose the side exit and have to go through all of that in the first place? Or why the two into one and have to mess with going over the driveshaft when it could have stayed as two pipes and exit both sides of the car? I am not complaining, just curious about the thinking behind it.

It all comes down to the lack of room. The car is going to be so low, it all had to stay up. Packaging wise, there is simply no room to get past the rear end. The passenger side would have been nice to exit, but it has the offset third link and the battery will be there for weight. The drivers side behind the seat is the only place to put it. The thought of going back to a single pipe is to save space by using one muffler and also it worked out great for sound. We installed this same set up for a test on our Corvette, and it was amazing how quiet we got it. We have some sites that are very restrictive on sound limits.

I was wondering the same thing. It makes sense that you have packaging issues and are almost forced to route the exhaust like that. I figured with how much planning is going into this car for function that there was no way that much effort was done for looks.

I can't wait to see this thing on the ground. 2nd gens look so amazing sitting very low. Your car also being functional makes it all the more sweeter

Function is first and try to make it look the best we could. Once all the paneling is installed, you won't see any of the exhaust anyway. The pipe exits just above the rocker on the quarter panel. When I get it closer to completion, I will post some photos.

Here are some photos of the 3 - link rear suspension. The watts link is located on the bottom of the rear end housing and the lower arms go through the frame rails, instead of narrowing them link the DSE 4 link set up.
The length of the lower links and upper link are at optimal length for handling. Packaging not an issue with this car as we eliminated the rear seat.
