The first muffler in mock-up. It'll sit a bit higher and more forward but this gives you the basic idea.
Tomorrow morning's video drop covers getting this version to what you see here. I'll post the link in this thread. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'll post the link in this thread. Looks great, such a nice shape. Is that stainless, would look fine polished. Good thing I saved this picture |

Heat shielding for trans? @bkrantz - A few folks have asked about this. Here's a shot of the clearance. I may add a shield. Attached image(s) |

The car is leveled and the passenger side muffler is set to the same position as the driver side. As you can see by the gap in that last 90 degree tube, I'm nearly there. One final trimming and it'll be good to go.
Couldn't resist a pic of things at this stage of completion. I should have it all wrapped up, including the exits, in the next post. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Ready for final welding and some exhaust tips. Nearly there. That is really cool looking. It looks like it will work well, more so it will sound just as good. My brain wants to know about the temps you expect in the trunk. And are we in for some awesome fresh air intake design. Spooky cool dude |
