Rick,

The rear of the car still sits a little too high for my liking but I'll wait till the end to deal with it. The biggest problem I had with the exhaust was on the passenger side where the pipe came out of the muffler and went over the differential. The pipe literally sat on the fuel line at the corner of the tank. It's still pretty close so I will be swapping out the rubber hoses to something more heat tolerant just to be safe. I was also very unhappy with how low the pipes sat where they came off the manifolds. I wanted them to tuck up close so I had them cut and shortened there. It's a good fit there now.

I'm finishing up the install on the same exhaust system that you used and had to bend the passenger over the axle pipe a good bit to get it away from the driveshaft/u-joint and to line up with the legs of the X pipe. No way would it have lined up right out of the box. The sound on yours is great, congrats on reaching this point and look forward to hearing about your first drive in it.
