Big Single Turbo Exhuast

So I’m curious, those of you running big singles (or anything that ends up with a single large pipe leaving the engine bay), How did you route your exhaust? Did you make it zig zag through the stock notch in the frame, or did you do something else?

Any pics?

Mine zig zags through the stock area. Its a 4" pipe.

Well, if it goes through the stock area I don't think that I really need to see a pic.

the thing that got me thinking about that is that turns like that have a big effect on flow and that with a 4" pipe that would also put a lot of heat right next to the control arm bushing...

I was half thinking that pretty much going straight back from the passenger side of the engine, cutting a tunnel in the subframe and then reenforcing it might be a better solution for these cars (not that much work compaired to the rest of the project any car like that should have sub frame connectors and a cage anyway).
