I was wondering the same thing. It makes sense that you have packaging issues and are almost forced to route the exhaust like that. I figured with how much planning is going into this car for function that there was no way that much effort was done for looks.

I can't wait to see this thing on the ground. 2nd gens look so amazing sitting very low. Your car also being functional makes it all the more sweeter

Function is first and try to make it look the best we could. Once all the paneling is installed, you won't see any of the exhaust anyway. The pipe exits just above the rocker on the quarter panel. When I get it closer to completion, I will post some photos.

Here are some photos of the 3 - link rear suspension. The watts link is located on the bottom of the rear end housing and the lower arms go through the frame rails, instead of narrowing them link the DSE 4 link set up.
The length of the lower links and upper link are at optimal length for handling. Packaging not an issue with this car as we eliminated the rear seat.
