Got ya. Alot of people do it that way, works good too

I just couldn't get the Y where I wanted it to go with the 3.5 inch tubing, or I'd have done the same.

The car was actually an easy build.It just has one of my reguler "street" motors finally setup in a race built car.Believe me,it's harder to build a fast strret car than a race purpose car.
We will change the converter which will help the top end and hopefully do some weight reduction.Only thing the motor will need is some oil changes throughout the year.
