Looks like it will be really nice. 
My car is actually in the shop right now, for over-the-axle duals with short Sweet Thunders (same exact thing as Powersticks). The guy didn't think there was enough room under the car BEFORE the axle to fit the mufflers, so this will be a good way for me to prove to him that it can be done.

If I was gonna get my duals over the axle from the get go I would had just had the mufflers right before the tips...but I'm actually glad they are there now in case I do want to quiet it down a lil bit down the road I can swap two more mufflers in there
lookin good man, be sure to get a clip up when its done. If only I could get a place around here to do the work I'd have my X and Powersticks on too! I was thinking just letting Midas or Menieke do it

Yeah I gotta borrow a video camera and I plan on making a video.
It's not 100% done. We ran out of time and I had to take my car. It's all put together we just need to get the tips aligned since the passenger side is a lil off.
Sounds so good. I took my friend for a ride and he's like "hey now we can talk in your car. Your exhaust is so much quieter." So I had to demonstrate that it's only quieter inside. Stopped the car told him to walk behind it and I gave it a nice rev and he started yelling because his ears hurt bcs it was so loud. 
I'll get pics when its done and video hopefully in the next week or so.

I did the exhaust work for Darren's car here. I'm currently an independently contracted welder building trailers that house boilers to test mustard gas containers for the military. That contract is now over as of yesterday and I'm moving to fabricate air conditioners beginning in a week or two, which I presume will be for the military also.
To be honest it was my first up over the axle exhaust work. I tried to weld it up with as few seams as possible but I only had so much pipe and had to fill in a few gaps with weld and small sections of pipe. Overall wasn't too bad.
In the last pic I corrected what I thought was a mistake with the driver's side pipe pointing over in that direction. I didn't like that and at least wanted them both to come over the axle symmetrically. I have since rectified that before letting Darren take the car.
He is correct about the passenger's side tip being a lil off and we'll revisit it that next week to finish it off. I did this at my home, outside, in the 90* weather with just a jack and pair of stands in the driveway as my POS is a paper weight in my garage. The tip slant will be an easy fix, just didn't have anymore time as we both had to be somewhere within the hour and like I always tell people if they're not completely satisfied to bring it back and I'll take care of it.
