Nice job looks like you have no clearance issues and you did the duals right with the crossover. You probably got some respectable gains from that whole setup. Any dyno results?

With exception to the mufflers showing off just how unsymmetric the rear section of the car is, it looks like a really well made setup.

Now its time for a new tranny Chris, before you kill that T5.

X pipe is to synchronise and equally scavage the left and right cylinder banks when you run a dual exhaust, a problem that is non-existent if you have a single 3inch setup. Its better than an H pipe because the exhaust travels through curves instead of straight angles (X H see!)

I think he means the torque arm. And unless you have a 4 link or other rear suspension setup, yes you need that too

chris, I was looking at the super comps for my track only car,,I was thinking,,,,,,HOK-2210 At www.summitracing.com any help would be great,,,,no exhaust just open headers
I have a question, what if you have to take your transmission out? How do you get it out with the exhaust in the way? And does the exhaust go under the rear axle?

HOK 2210 is a great header for the track, but just the plain 2210 doesn't come coated. I believe the 2210-1 is coated but it's like $200 more.

I want side pics, my system is not much different from that and ground clearance sucks.
Edit: Come to look at it, that is better than mine because of that cross member. Get some side pics

If you have to drop the tranny, then taking the exhaust off doens't look like that much work, since it doesn't go over the rear axle. If it did go over the axle, I'd put some dr. gas ball/cone joints in it so you wouldn't have to drop the axle, too.
