Is the exhaust as close to the trans mount as it looks like in the picture?

do you mean the second to the last pic? it goes right under the torque arm, i'd say it comes closer to that than the trans mount

Looks good! You may have to clearance the floorpan brace that sets above the upper T/A mount, its no big deal. I have the Strano Springs and if you have a passenger or hit a large bump it may hit. Mine did, but its an easy fix.
