Unless your a 3" tall midget to get under the car without a lift there are no under the car photos.About the best i can say is It fits up in the stock location well.

No there are no other photos as of now. I will follow up with more photos as the project advances to the point where i could post photos that people would understand or see what im doing. Dont worry the time will come!

That 3" was to make room for the camera and the person taking the pic. Its only a 2" drop. And like i said this side of a lift the pics taken are about the best your going to get. I dont take my car any where to have someone work on it. I dont trust most mechanics. When i bring it in for an alignment ill see if i cant get a pic from under on teh small alignment rack lift

Wow, I just spent about an hour and a half reading through this whole thread! But I have to say I have learned a hell of a lot and now I am considering doing a custom exhaust like this someday....when I have the skills.....and money....which will definitely be a couple years. Oh well it will be so worth the wait.

Awesome work though man! Have a great wedding/honeymoon, can't wait till you get back and continue beautiful work! haha

And yes the motor work is still on. I will complete it over the winter when i park it. I have all the parts but the gaskets and the machine work (the later requires me to yank my motor)
