picture of headers from side:

good ground clearance, headers are tight. very happy with the headers despite the modifications required to fit & the ceramic coating is a bit "B" grade but I am jet-hot-coating the whole system on final assembly anyway

to the mid-section.
made our own x-pipe and all pipes for that matter, using mandrel bends, collectors are 4 inch down to 3 inch into Magnaflow mufflers.

There will be 4 mufflers....

x-pipe:

another, x-pipe, front part of system:

these are the v-clamps i used. they're a great part. stainless v-rings welded to pipe & clamped with an inverted v-clamp. this meant the system could be constructed in sections. easier later if i need to replace any individual part; .. big pipes

....& toward the rear:

fabricating the exhaust system was a major.
a HUGE job.
the TTI's are great, but given the tight clearances it's hard to expect they will fit out of the box. then getting 3 inch pipes down the car, with enough ground clearance considering the car is lowered 2 inches (a "true" 2in), was a challenge.
all before trying to get 3inch pipes over the diff, which the next pic;s show how we did it. HUGE job, but it turned out great...

(still many more pics to come..!)

Very nice, great work!

thanks Pete. been hard work, years and $$.

Now, getting 3 inch pipes (mandrel bends) over the diff meant making a new axle-hump. Just simply not enough room.

So we made sections with the same v-clamps:

Note: all pipes will be jet-hot-coated (ceramic) at final assembly.

with the new axle-hump we fabricated enough room to put extra's underneath, such as fuel tank vent charcoal canister and output in-line filter (more later). New hump retains provisions for rear seat-belt anchor too:

with the rear seat frame installed (slight mods to clear widened wheel wells): looks a bit scruffy but only a trial fit.:

looking forward where the mid-section ends and goes over the diff:

front, from rear axle:

with the extra space created by removing the leaf springs, and going for the look I wanted, I put the second muffler (3 inch magnaflows), up into the lower quarter, pic 1:

they fit really well,:

..almost designed for 'em:

whole system installed:
