Pypes exhaust

[rockdogz]

My situation doesn't exactly apply to you, because I did not have a lift and have not installed an exhaust before. Also, I bought the 3" Pypes kit for my '68 Camaro which was mini-tubbed and runs the DSE 3" drop leafs. So, the amount of space I have is tight. When I tried to install the kit, I couldn't get it to line up correctly - seemed that the SpinTech mufflers were long and I didn't buy the center exit model, which seemed like it would have worked better. I ended up putting in turndowns before the axle until I can get it to a shop that can install it for me without scratching everything to hell. The only thing I had to weld was the turndown tips to the muffler exit - the rest is just clamped in for now. I am curious though how it works when you get the system ceramic coated - do they install and weld the whole thing, then remove it, then you have to wait a week or whatever until the coating is applied?
