Is that part of the exhaust going on the car, peeking through the floor pan?

You got it right. I designed an exhaust in my head, (because the car has verry little ground clearence), &amp;
with the welding skills (&amp; same crazy mind) of Gene Goodyear it came to life.

The exhaust slips together, so no clamps hanging &amp; even has a bolt in crossover pipe.
This saved me 1.5" which was what I needed.

I Silver Ceramic Coated the headers (for obvious reasons) &amp; black ceramic coated the exhaust &amp; crossover. It looks killer.

It is only slightly bigger than a std. gun &amp; much easier to use..

... as you can see it isn't bad. Polyurethane is tough to work with (I found out)but it's getting there.


finally finished the back &amp; got the 9" in there.

Threw the trunk lid on for effect. Blue tape prevents https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif
Tires are not mounted yet, but I had to see what they looked like.
I am feeling better the closer it gets to the ground. </font>

<font color="blue">"The little motor that could" is on the dyno &amp; giving me a headache.
Tuner says, "cam is too big, headers are too big, blower is too big ... or motor is too small."

Here is the start-up minute of video.

It's popping around 5K.
I tested the valve springs (since they have been there a while)
&amp; they are on the weak side (120 instead of 170)
Changing them this weekend &amp; try again.</font>
