Ede,
today i was about to ride 100 miles to my home place and make one SFC with my handy lil'brata. driver side is is kinda plain bread and butter, but how to make passenger side? my ride is not lowered and still there's not too much clearance between exhaust and ground. if you have good pics of SFC's (like the ones you made yourself), that would be nice
i still cant figured out how to make SFC to passenger side

mine is a race car, open headers, but just looking and guessing i ithnk you can run a piece of steel from the rear all the way forward along the inside or the rocker panel lip (where the factory jack would go) and then use another piece of steel at a right angle (or close to 90*) to reach the front SF and weld it all together.

I wish I had some good pics of mine. They were installed when the car still had a 3" exhaust. You could get a good idea on how to make it go around the pipe.
I run open headers now and never bothered to get that SFC changed to a straight bar. They're just made from 2x2x1/4 square steel.
