Finished my exhaust system...and weighed the car... A little status update on my GT47-88 build...
Here is a pic showing the majority of the system (for reference)...

Got the exhaust system layed out today....tacked up, to be fully welded up later...pretty simple design. 4" stainless past the motor plate, under the starter into a 4" bullet muffler then a turndown
Also threw the car on the scales....I'm guessing there is about 500 or so more lbs to put in (tranny, converter, gears, driveshaft, race brakes and fuel/water systems mainly)
Came in at a portly 2502 lbs right now
Looks like 3200 lb raceweight is probably an achievable goal...still have about 30-50 lbs that needs to be removed too...(cutting out my old Global west SFCs since the new 25.5 cage has integrated SFCs, install my tubular A-arms in place of the stockers, etc)
Full build details are in the link in my sig...
