Will the 1 5/8th in header pipes work? I am sure I could hack up the fenders and create space. But a 5 inch downpipe won't fit in between the trans and frame. Would have to go to a bumper exhaust or something creative. How illegal is driving on the street with an exhaust sticking out of the front bumper?

This is what I can cut out to try and make something work. This will be street driven.



Old picture, but only one I have of the passenger side bumper. Outline in white circle where the exhaust could possibly go.
