I tried to do the mount another way but this was the only way it would fit straight with the T/A, be strong enough and keep the adjustability. So I guess Im gonna have to figure out something for the exhaust... maybe oval tubing. Thats why I need to test with real 3" pipes first.

I did some measurement and it should fit. Its gonna be pretty close but it should clear everything if I give it a slight angle down. Im gonna cut my 3" catback to pieces this week-end and try to fab a Y-pipe. Just to see what I actually have to deal with.

Pretty good actually! Im waiting on my Y connector (3" inlets to 4" single out) to arrive and Ill start assembling my y-pipe. I cut my 3" hooker catback to piece to start fabing the y-pipe. The pipes clears the tranny crossmember and @ full drop, its not even the lowest point of the car; my engine crossmember is @ 1 1/2".

If you don't mind my asking, where did you come across those all red tail lights? I'm working on an '84 Berlinetta right now and I really like the way your tails look!

One of the finest builds/restos I've saw, and I have saw a plenty. Inspired me . I have a 88 that I bought new that has a RAMJET 350 in it now. It's getting a ls6 and paint this winter. I may go alittle further, now that I've saw your build. I really like the air bags. Where did you mount the tank & compressor ? Oh yeah, I love the white, shaved look. SUPER clean. Keep up the good work. And never tell or think about the cost. Later, Dean.
