Yeah. LOL! The fabrication has become the hobby for me. I get a lot out of it; That said, I'm looking forward to transitioning to the other part of the hobby!

That muffler will sit right there under a small space just behind the seats. The brake ducts will go through there too. They are called "FreqMod" They're chamber mufflers with a small tube that bypasses the high frequency sound directly from the inlet to the exit. It blends the deep throaty sound with the higher pitch. If I do decide to build that 180º header this summer it should sound a bit like a european GT car. I think it will be cool anyway.

Then the pipe exits out the lower qtr, just ahead of the rear tire through a 3.5" pipe. It looks pretty cool… in my head. LOL! I'll post pics of the mock up in a few days. Just above that will be the brake duct scoop. We'll see how that goes.

Getting that rear wheelwell tacked in was a big deal to me. I've been agonizing over it's location for a while now and having that sort of settled on is a big help for my ADD mind.
