I got faked out by the mounts to the axle. I thought they were the frame mounts for the front. My 1" rear sway bar does not mount to the axle. I may have to change that. You are getting a lot of air under the left front tire.

It went 2 tenths faster with the new converter. From 11.27 @ 120 to 11.07 @ 120. Knocking on 10s on the motor now.

1 3/4 into 3" collecter. 3" duals with Pypes stainless X-pipe and T/A Performance 3" tailpipes with the extensions to the rear bumper. The extensions reduced the resonance inside the car notably.
Thanx Steve. I was sick yesterday and Sunday too. But, I did not feel like posting.
