BTW, check your PM's for once, please :shake:
Yeah you know, I only have 58 of those things, I was thinking I should take a look at em pretty soon.. :headscratch:

I'll check them in a min..


Here are some close-ups of the system installed. I left a finger-width gap between the pipe and the trans. I was sort'of worried, but Marlin reassured me the next day that he has seen pipes in direct contact with trans and it does ok. So apparently I've got more than enough room which is great. Also, I wanted the heat wrap to keep the exhaust temps up because the cat will be bolted right at that flange, so now the air can be as hot as possible for maximum somg efficiency. ( :bull crap: )

I tried to clear the front drive line by as much as possible and for now it seems to be ok. For sure their is more room right now between the exhaust pipe and the drive line then the oil pan to diff issue, so if anything, the oil pan will save the exuast pipe  :hahaha: ohhh ummm... eh :nerv: But I dont need a front driveline to smog it anyways and once it gets lifted it wont be an issue at all, but I do plan on running a High Pinion diff, so I'll just have to see how that goes. Also the tripple cases will flatten out the driveline angle, so it just gets better.
