won't be much to it. just going around the starter, then into a 4" bullet muffler that we will be shortening then a turndown...rules say muffler must be used (even on the turbo cars which have a big 50-60 lb muffler ) that must dump past the flywheel...

Looks very nice. Patients is key. Take your time make sure it is exactly what you want. "Borrowing" from others that have done it before makes sense. Good luck. Oh, your exhaust will be exactly the same as mine

Car is really coming along nicely. plan on making the LSx thing in Memphis with it?

Nothing wrong with clean/simple, usually that means easier to maintain as well..

Thats cool, just wondering. Either way its coming along great, gives me some inspiration to do the same thing since I'm pretty bored with mine at the moment. Just scared to mess up the paint
