Look for stainless band clamps in your area, comes in different diameters. Good for lap joints, ( Slip together joints). easily removable. They may be more
expensive than conventional exhaust clamps but they don't crush the pipe. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-681300 just for visual purpose.

Any tips on getting the best fit and getting it tucked up as far off the road as possible

You are better off putting it in place with band clamps and taking it to a good exhaust shop to have final fitting. This way while it's on the rack you can pin point how you want it and it's only a couple hours labor- well worth it. At the same time you can have the bung for EFI welded in.

The bung for the EFI is welded in. I guess I will plan on putting it on here and then dragging it up to the muffler shop for a nip/tuck. I do not like the pipes straight out the back. I planned to have them “adjusted” anyway. Anybody got some good pics of exhaust turn out placement?

I believe that Pypes sells a "high tuck" system, if you haven't already purchased your exhaust.

I've used the high tuck system and it fits well without hanging down.

Does the high tuck system include an xpipe?

If so, looks like the pipes go straight back

I can tell you this...the tailpipes will be pretty close to the rear tire(depending on tire width and wheel backspace.) with the 3" exhaust. I have 2 1/2" and 255's and it's kinda close...

Leave your tailpipes off and take it to a muffler shop to re-route the tailpipes to side exit behind the rear wheel with factory splitters. They can probably rotate the downtube behind the rear axle and reweld it. That would look a lot better than straight out the back or turned down.

I knew this was a gamble but unless it blows up in my face between now and Friday choosing KMA to do this work was the best decision of this build so far. They are in Tampa and I am in SC. 8 1/2 hours away. The owner sent me pics or talked to me EVERYDAY. I don’t care if you live in Oregon, if you need it done ship it to him. 50 dollars an hour labor rate. You cannot beat it.
