They look like they fit good, plenty of room.

I was gonna say, remove the heat shields and either polish or coat them but Don beat me to it. I think they look great.

Going to run with OE heat shields I'd ceramic coat them but they wouldnt look that good IMO with all the bosses welded to tubes for the heat shields

Edit note went back and deleted Photobuckets dead link and uploaded more pics, theyre not 100% in order so excuse me, no fun looking back if you dont know how it started

Thanks for props! its been way too long coming some of my pics are from 2007
Time to concentrate on the bird! I'm actually in Lewisville
this site used to be blocked by my work so Shh, maybe they wont go back but I have more time during work to post in evening. this car is my most challenging one for couple reasons its a LS swap - my first doing alot of updates like new electrical system rewiring with AWW kit, minitubbing (its done) but little nervous about wheel and tire sizes(to me this is something you have to nail right the first time) too small looks funny too big and rubbing isnt fun! dealing with painters my first got me close but no bananna. and some small challenges like I know what I need and can do but dont have the right tools to do it, I'm a hobbyist not so much a fab shop. mine isnt going for show car, best of anything just building it to drive and enjoy it

update, new subframe made eng/trans move back so I had to get new driveshaft shortened

Check!

and had to change exhaust

tight around crossmember more than I like
continuing on....

update got exhaust finished had to make my own head pipes from the 2" manifold outlet to 2.25" pipe to 2.5" header back system
Bought a couple 90's and couple feet of straight pipe

Got them high enough no scraping over speed bumps

now I'm looking forward to electrical, not my strong point - doing AAW update kit I want ECM to control the fan- I'm using either a 3.8 Taurus or MkVIII (cant remember which I got a couple years ago) anyone have thoughts on a relay setup to use?
