Don't worry about it, it's nice to have a spot where people can go to look at fox setups all in one place.

The plan is to run a 4" down pipe between the strut tower and engine all the way back to the rearend and have it dump under the car. Hopefully will start some progress on it sometime this week and I will post pictures.

I have 4" dumped before the axle with a 4in straight through muffler. It drones pretty damn bad. I also have a 4in electric cut out, out the passenger side fender, it's super quiet inside the car.

I'm running a dna 4" muffler on the car. I did the open down pipe on my last turbo car with fender exit exhaust and it got old really fast. I'll probably end up doing a cutout eventually. I guess will see how bad it drones hopefully not bad.

OP I mounted my turbo in the passenger side front fender similar to what you have, but I clocked it a little so I'd have room for the air filter and a better shot of getting the exhaust out. They way you have it now, it looks like the dp will be really tight! Here's a pic of mine, and it goes all the way out in 4" to the factory location.

Haha just the fact that my neighbors didn't enjoy me driving the car at night is why I need less noise.

Real similar to my set up
My wastegate is on the bottom, looks a little cleaner on the bottom but ive hit it a few times setting wheelies down, dont know how long itll live down there.

I didnt want to try and snake a downpipe that close to the passenger side valvecover and wiring i have there.
The hood exit has its drawbacks, but the awesomeness of it makes up for them...lol
