Well Exhaust fabricated and installed. For the most part it went rather well the kit I bought had all the pipes I needed to complete the job. Other than the clamps, mufflers, and hangers which I also purchased from Summit. The cutting and fitting went fairly smooth with the exception of needing and extra hand from time to time. I used a few apple boxes, clamps and jack stands. I even got my wife under the car to help    but she was a bit of a distraction . none the less it's off my list..

Coming out very nice... looks like you and Santiago are on the same page, even though you guys are world's apart.

One wee rant... I'd never use Jack stands extended that far. If I have to go that high, I'd be stacking blocks. Otherwise you know your safe limits, and I am only judging by what I can see.

Thanks, Jack stands were only holding up pipes during the fitting process.

Very pretty, I'm guessing that was the distraction as well......

Where did you get the exhaust kit from? It looks like a winner !

Wow--just read through your thread.  You are my new hero!  I don't do a lot of posting on the forum but after reading about your project, felt I needed to give you props for commitment and attention to detail.  Car looks amazing.  Well done.
