The guy who did it works at one shop but did mine at another shop. His name is Josh and the shop is A-1 automotive in off of 204. Josh owns a 98 Z. He has natural talent and can do pretty much anything. He is meticulous and makes it the way you want it. You can call Josh personally 1-912-677-0482. Just tell him that Frankie referred you on ls1tech. I do not trust many people with my car but he is someone I trust because I know he will do it right and not cut corners.

I got an Iphone 5 so I am trying to upload but not very computer savvy. Hence iPhone.

Yes for the incredible job he did. I would pay that any day. The exhaust is tucked nicely and no rattles. I am going home to try and post video.

looks great, everything looks places very well and no tight bends or anything.
One thing on this 3/8 round bar on the outside bends were they run apart around the gas tank will be a problem after some street miles.

The tubing thickness get thinner and weaker on the outside of the bends, and is thinner to stretch the metal out to take the long turn, then the spec wall thickness. And the bar placed there on the tube keeps the spacing between them the same, but not to keep them form twisting. And the way the hanger are holding the exhaust system up there twisting going on, the brace is pulled right at the weld. All the bumps and vibrations form street driving theres a real good chance the outside of the tube wall is going to crack around the welds and rip off.

You should add somthing like that put going to the very top or bottom of the tubes, or both is better (you can leave that one) Can be 1/8x flat bar too, somthing like that. And you can bend the ends a little to go around the tube a little, 1-2 inches. More then just the end of that round bar for a contact spot. You dont have to fully weld the length just a 1/2 on the ends, just more then a tac. Something to keep the 2 bends form twisting so they dont crack off, like thats going to.

This is a horrible representation of what it sounds like. My iPhone 5 camera doesn't begin to do it justice. But here's a quick clip. The car is running rich.
Maybe it's the garage making it sound that way.
I will take another tomorrow when I pull car out.
