Small update for now, just finished the tail pipe section, it will get black ceramic powder coat like the headers.... we used oval pipe with x-pipe and spintech mufflers. we cut out the gas tank for the pipes to go where I wanted them to...crazy its been like 5 years since I designed this part in my head and it turned out just the way I wanted it to. I have to clean up the welds but you actually won't see them. I am making a two piece heat shield out of aluminum that goes up between the tank and pipes and then under with a nice water jet finish piece with a vented look that will be an extra detail for the rear view of the car. The heat shield and the ceramic coat should keep the exhaust pretty cool to the tank. Also only the middle two pipes are actually functioning as tail pipes, I welded nice curved baffles in right where they attach to keep them seperated and the flow smooth. That way the outside pipes won't blacken the yellow too much.
