very nice build indeed. I too made my own SGDP but out of mild steel. I wish I could weld that good LOL.
Are you planing on putting an exhaust tip on it? If not you might want to extend your tail pipe a little. In one picture it apears to be sitting a little to far under the car, and you will burn the rear bumper cover.

Well finally done with it. Got the hangers welded on and painted with high temp paint.
Heres how i bent the exhaust hangers ( anvils ftw )

I decided the best route to make sure the hangers would fit is to weld them while they are attached ( yes i can weld underneith a car )

I decided to move the heater line a bit to give my downpipe some room

Incredibly impressed with both your welding and your work.
XSPower exhausts have worse welds than yours, you done a proper job there.
May I ask if you have a JPG/BMP/etc of your td04 downpipe flange/mounting?
I'm doing a similar project over the summer and was hoping to ease myself from some of the drawing
