I've been working on the exhaust slowly but surely and got the new mufflers installed late Friday night. The old ones were mounted pretty low so I used some modified S bends to get them tucked up about 2 inches higher.

Now on to the real fun part....the tailpipes! I used parts of my old tailpipes to help get up and over the axle, then started on getting around the coilovers, panhard bar, etc. After fiddling with a couple different ways, I think i have it the way I want it. Although the clearance to the panhard bar on the drivers side is only about 2 inches, not sure if that will be enough. I may even notch the exhaust a tad for a little more clearance. Keep in mind, the car is at ride height in these pictures.

I also thought about coming down behind the housing in between it and the panhard bar but trying to avoid that now. I think I would need alot more clearance to the panhard bar plus I would have to sharply come back up to bring the tailpipes towards the rear.

thanks,

I haven't had time to drive it since its been home. Once the exhaust is done I will put some more miles on it, hopefully this weekend. Breaking in new gears so have to take it easy for a little longer.

Lookin good Jason! Let me know if you need anything.
