I really want to see pics of the ground clearance under the drivers side when this is all done. I bet thats why they have two 2.5" pipes right off the down pipe. I would also like to compare the final pics of your setup to an OFI turbo kit, with the single 3" down pipe. Ground clearance seems to always be a deciding factor for me for some reason.

BTW, thanks for taking lots of pics along the way. I think when this is all over and you're on the street with it, you should post it all up again in How-to style. That may or may not get you stickied

Ground clearance isn't a problem at all with this kit if you are stock height. If you are lowered and run a 6-speed, the crossover may become a low point.

Here are a few pics of mine that show pipe routing. You can also see how it will cook a motor mount like this:
