Default I got bored so i rebuilt my exhaust *pics*

I was a little unhappy with the way i originally welded up my exhaust so i decided to rework it, here are some pics. I have a video too but i cant DL to my computer yet.








the above pic shows the torque arm clearance.

pretty good ground clearance if i do say so myself

i still need to do some finish welds and i am going to have it high temp powder coated black. Let me know wht y'all think.

When you put the silver gauges in, was the mileage at 0?Or did you paint it yourself? Where in texas are you at?

Do you own an LS1 or Saleen? Not a fan of the side exhaust at all, but to each their own.Personally..... looks like pooh
