Default Lunch break duals

I was tired of my low hanging tsp ypipe. Not knocking it, it was a good piece other than it had some rasp around 2k-2.4krpm that I hated and the stupid clearance on the drivers side. My car looked pregnant.
Not the best pic but you can see how low it is.

This is what I had done the first lunch break I worked on it. Not much but it's a pain in the *** holding 3-4 pieces to mark.

Just a small comparison with the tsp y.

This is after some slight changes such as better 3"-2.5" reducers.

Another comparison shot.

Mounted on the car for tacking. If you look close you can see some added pieces on both sides in the next 2 pics.

I have maybe 1/8"-1/4" clearance from the pipe off the drivers side collector and the body. It tucks up nice.

Just a few quick shots while she's in the air.

Yes sir. My alignment is all kinds of messed up so I don't want to ruin a front set. I'm rolling on snowflakes in the back for now.

It sounds decent it's just open xpipe at the moment.

That's no lie. I'm maybe 1-1.5" from the tq arm. I hope the power sticks fit.
