Here are some pics of the floor and exhaust damage.

By the way, I followed Jim's advice on setting up the throttle body (it was showing 1 percent at idle and not going to WOT. It idles down so much faster now...albeit through open headers at the moment.

You can see where it snagged the wires and emission hose as well as the battery cable. Let me ask you guys that have batteries in the trunk. Where/how is the safest place to run that cable??????

Here you can see where it tore the seatbelt mount off the floor on the passenger side. It is only hanging by a thread. If the carpet was out you would see daylight.

In the short run I am going to see if the local muffler shop can bend two short runs of pipe to replace the crushed pipe. I realize now my X pipe in the middle is way too restrictive. We built this exhaust to make servicing the car a breeze with multiple drop out sections on the bell clamps.
