Looks great so far, lots of work left, but it's coming along nicely. I think when I do my headers, the back 2 pimaries are going thru the back of the wheel well, and will wrap around to the collector, front 2 will come down and back.. should make for lots of room that way.

I wanted to run a strait 2.5 primary though..... so I will need the room.

Nice work! Can't tell from the pics, did you only cut the shock tower area on the passenger side? Got any more pics of that, how much weight did that save?
