Looks great Jody!
If your flex joint in the downpipe is the newer vibrant style with the pipe liner inside, make sure the joint is installed straight throughout the exhaust building process. We had an odd noise on a new build and it was that inner line of the flex was rattling against the bellow.

Looks like one spark plug is going to be easy to get to.

3.5" downpipe, split to dual 3" exhaust. Pretty happy with how it's fitting, good ground clearance. Progress pics...

Jody,
Have you selected your seats yet? I think I read somewhere you are tall, I am 6'6". I was curious what you are considering?
Thanks!

I'm 6'5" myself. I went with the TMI Pro Series Sport seats. Should be here in a couple of weeks. The last couple of cars I've done I modded the seat brackets to drop them down (cut the raised sections). Very simple and gave me all the head clearance I needed. Plus the sliders still work.
I'll have to try them out as-is when they get here and I'll let you guys know.

Little bit more progress. Pics make the pipes looks closer than they are. Mounted the blow off valve between the turbo and intercooler, to give extra protection to the intercooler. Exhaust is no lower than the oil pan.
