Thanks, during school I was practicing 6G 5" sch. 40 pipe for a month which helped a lot with transitioning the cup as your rollin around. MIG is fun too but I'm a tig welder to the core.

Its been a while since i updated this thread. Reason being ive lost motivation. Well i just started again today and worked on the exhaust a bit. Like a dumbass i waited till the last minuet (sunday) to sign up for the novice school and good ol' murphys law put me on the waiting list. So this track car isnt going to be on the track for a little while. Maybe that's all i needed since i was getting stressed out about trying to finish it in time.

Abe- The reason being is the bellhousing is right there at the start of the mid pipe so i wanted to follow the car as much as possible. At the rear i didnt want to have it sit any lower then humanly possible. Maybe your right but its 10x better than my first one.
Shuiend- Nothing wrong with bush (except for the kind on a woman)
I wanted to finish it today so i made sure i did my best
I went and got a el cheapo tip to quiet down my car because cops dont like loud cars.

I figured id mount it out to the driver side but realized it would take more bends than what i came up with.
